Welcome to CreativeOps, Billo’s performance layer designed to help you make smarter creative decisions from day one.

CreativeOps brings real ad performance data into your workflow so you can confidently decide:

  • What to create

  • Who to work with

  • What to scale next

This guide explains what CreativeOps is, why it matters, and how to start using it effectively.


What is CreativeOps?

CreativeOps is Billo's data-driven system that layers AI and real ad-performance data on top of the Partnerships Hub. It guides you from brief creation to creator selection to iterative optimization, turning creator marketing into a predictable, data-backed system.

  • 326,000+ ads

  • Over half a billion in purchase value generated

This data helps you understand:

  • What works

  • Why it works

  • What to do next

CreativeOps does not replace creators or production. It supports better decision-making, so every piece of content is created with intention.


Why CreativeOps matters

Most teams run into the same creative problems:

  • Ordering too much similar content

  • Scaling winners too late

  • Letting underperforming ads run too long

  • Relying on instinct instead of data

CreativeOps helps you:

  • Learn faster from real performance

  • Focus spend on what works

  • Reduce guesswork in creative decisions

  • Build a repeatable system for scaling

The result is a more efficient, performance-driven creative workflow.


How CreativeOps works

CreativeOps sits on top of your existing Billo workflow and improves over time.

It follows a simple loop:

1. Start with proof: Uses real ad performance data from your account or Billo benchmarks.

2. Get recommendations: Surfaces creators, scripts, and creative directions backed by data.

3. Analyze results: Compares performance against past results and your product category.

4. Scale or stop: Shows what to double down on and what to pause.

Each cycle strengthens your next creative decision.

Getting started: Step-by-step

CreativeOps is organized into three main tabs, each supporting a different stage of your creative workflow.

1. Connect your Meta ad account (recommended)

Link your Meta ads account to unlock full performance data and insights. Without it, you’ll still get basic guidance, but data-backed recommendations require this connection.

2. Hire top industry creators

Browse and compare creators using actual performance data and industry benchmarks. See who's driving results, not just who has the most followers.

3. Create data-driven AI scripts

Use the AI script generator to build briefs backed by proven ad results. Instantly get matched creators for each script based on performance data.

4. Scale with AI Mashups

Turn one existing video into three new ad variations—no new production required. Designed for rapid testing and iteration without additional creator costs.

5. Measure and optimize in Creative Analytics

Review key performance metrics, identify what’s working and what needs improvement, and get data-backed suggestions for your next tests. Meta integration is required to access full insights.
