Coming soon · playable.ad by bolt

playable creative.
reinvented.

playable.ad is our new suite of AI-powered playable solutions, and it’s going to completely change the way brands build playable creative. We’re keeping the details under wraps until launch. Join the waitlist to see it first.

Early access invites go to this list first. No spam.

Why direct

same playable.
half the invoice.

Agencies charge $4,000–$10,000 for playable production. We’ve spent eight years building that work behind the scenes. Now you can work with the production team directly.

How it works

no meetings.
just playables.

You're used to three calls before anything starts. We skip all of that. Everything happens in your portal, in writing, on your schedule.

  • Starts sooner. No waiting for calendars to line up. Submit at 11pm, have questions answered by morning.
  • Nothing gets lost. Every decision is written down in one place, not buried in someone's call notes.
  • Your whole team sees the same thing. Producers, UA and legal all share one view.
  • We build instead of meeting. That's where the turnaround comes from.

FAQ

fair
questions.

Why are your prices so much lower than other playable agencies?

Because we run lean and work directly. There are no layers of sales, account management and production between you and the people building your playable. Your brief, feedback, approvals and builds all live in the portal, so more of your budget goes into the creative itself.

How much does a playable cost?

Every playable is quoted from your brief, usually within one business day. Price depends on scope: 2D or 3D, the mechanics, variants, localizations and networks.

How long is the turnaround?

2D playables take 8 business days after approval. 3D depends on the scope of the project, and your quote gives you the exact timeline.

Which networks do you support?

AppLovin, Meta, Google, Unity, Liftoff, Moloco, Mintegral, Chartboost, TikTok, Snapchat and Adikteev. Every playable is packaged to each network's specs and size limits, ready to upload. See every network's playable ad specs.

Can you make variants and localizations of an existing playable?

Yes. Reskins (a new theme, characters or season on the same mechanic), A/B variants and extra languages are all quoted from your brief. Request them in the portal like any other project.
