Smartly Delivers Your Ads.
Heista Builds Them From What's Winning.
Smartly is the enterprise standard for creative automation — it manages and optimizes delivery across every platform. But Smartly and Heista operate at different layers of the stack. Heista generates the creative that goes INTO platforms like Smartly. It starts with what's already winning, performing, scaling, crushing the feed — decodes the formula — then generates your brand's version. Heista's Ad Decoder maps the 7-beat psychological architecture and 12 buyer tensions behind any winning ad — the intelligence that should drive every template.
