Also, you can store all of your brand assets and design elements, as well as design projects. Everything you own and work on is completely shareable with your team, so anyone can take over, comment, or leave feedback. At the same time, your design elements like fonts, graphics, pictures, color codes are available to all of your team members for use. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">creative management platform<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will help you to accelerate your ad production flow, communicate efficiently with your team on feedback, and monitor and optimize your ads. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who can use this design software? <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creatopy is great for anyone who needs to create outstanding designs (companies, agencies, and freelancers), but it\u2019s been optimized to provide smart solutions to teams who produce large scale campaigns and function remotely. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few categories of professionals who can make use of Creatopy:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Designers <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; can generate sets of ads (20+) fast and easy. Also, the animations tool allows designers to skip the coding part and design outstanding HTML5 animated ads that meet the latest industry standards. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Marketers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; can supervise the design process and get involved by editing banners and leave valuable comments. The drag &amp; drop editor is extremely simple to use, so marketers don\u2019t need design skills to be able to make amendments themselves. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Advertisers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; can create large scale ad campaigns faster than using conventional design software, thus improving production timing. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>The benefits of working with a design collaboration tool: <\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>1.
