Gateway protects product truth: material, reflections, packaging, proportions, and claims are reviewed before the variant set is produced.

AI Video Ads
When NotWhen Not
The product has no clear offer and the video is expected to solve positioning.. There are no references for the product, material, packaging, or allowed claims.. The brand accepts a generic AI look and does not want to review product detail.. The landing page does not match the ad promise or lacks proof.. The goal is guaranteed ROAS instead of a better system for video creative.

FAQ
Sometimes, but not always. AI video is strong for variants, product moments, cutdowns, and testing directions. For sensitive details, regulated claims, or a hero campaign, a hybrid with a real shoot can be smarter.
