How it works

Swipe to launch AI-generated ads

Brainstorming 100 unique, 40-second scripts is painful.

Manually matching 20 clips (from your 10,000-video library) to each shot in your 100 unique scripts is even more painful.

Creating 10 permutations of each of the 100 ads (for A/B testing) is maximum pain.

This writing is getting very long, but imagine voiceovers, captions, music, & manually uploading all 1,000 ads to Meta & TikTok on top of this.

Icon solves this with Adswiper: all you have to do is swipe right or left on AI-generated ads.

Adswiper handles scriptwriting, script-to-shot matching (using existing videos from Google Drive + AI-generated videos), permutations, voiceovers, captions, music, & more.

Swiping right will also automatically create ready-to-launch adsets across all channels (Meta, TikTok).

Connect data sources

Connect your video library (Google Drive, Dropbox, Air) & ad accounts (Meta, TikTok).

Videos from both of these will be imported as building blocks for your AI-generated ads.

Hi there, I'm Kennan!
Growing up, my dream was to be a pro gamer: this felt within reach in high school once I ranked top 200 North America in League of Legends (out of 100M+ players globally).
Despite this, I needed to support myself so I went to college and started learning to code. Coding came naturally (especially with 100 hour weeks) and I was soon skipping class to work at places like Hulu and Wieden+Kennedy (ad agency). Realizing that being paid to work full-time (vs. paying to go to school) sounded quite nice, I dropped out after 1 year and joined Pinterest.
After Pinterest, I started a company called Skio which does subscription management software for brands on Shopify. In just 3 years, we've partnered with 1000+ brands (Liquid I.V., Milk Bar, Polaroid, Barstool, Unilever, KraveBeauty, Boba Tea Protein), reached $10M+ ARR (+profitable), and built an amazing team of 50.
With advancements in generative AI (video specifically), I saw an opportunity to help brands bring their stories to life exponentially faster and make marketing much better (hence Icon).
I love learning how we can help better. Feel free to reach out anytime at kennan@icon.me.
