Is Smartly suitable for small businesses or only large enterprises?

Smartly is primarily designed for and used by mid-market to enterprise-level advertisers, large agencies, and brands managing significant ad spend. Its pricing and complexity are geared toward scale.

How does the AI 'Intelligent Creative' actually work?

It uses machine learning models trained on historical campaign data to predict which creative elements (images, text, layouts) will perform best for specific audiences and placements, then auto-generates and tests variants.

Smartly Philippines - Pride 2026

Summer throwback: This past June, the Smartly team in the Philippines welcomed Pride Month with a full calendar of activities. Our team kicked off the month with a Summer Party, where stars from the reality show Drag Den Philippines joined us for an evening of performances and celebration. Later in the month, members of the Smartly PH Run Club and their partners took part in the Manila Pride Run, joining the 5K, 10K, and 16K races. We also partnered with LoveYourself Inc. to create space for learning and support. The team held a hybrid event focused on education and destigmatization sessions for Smartlies, helping build greater understanding around HIV/AIDS and how we can better support people living with HIV. Continuing a tradition from last year, the event was catered by local, queer-owned businesses. A big thank you to everyone who helped bring these moments together! Pride at Smartly Philippines was a chance to celebrate, learn, show up for our community and keep building a more inclusive workplace. #LifeAtSmartly
