# Aytada: AI Creative Marketing Studio

> Aytada generates video ads, banners, flyers, and jingles from a product description. Strategy and ideation are free — pay only when you render.

Aytada is an AI-powered Creative Marketing Studio that turns your product description into finished marketing assets. Describe what you sell, choose your creative direction, and Aytada generates scroll-stopping video ads, display banners, social flyers, and brand jingles — all shaped by the psychology of where your customer is in their buying journey. Strategy and ideation are always free; you only spend credits when you render a final asset.

## What Aytada creates

Aytada generates four types of marketing creative from a single campaign. Each asset inherits the same brand identity, creative style, and awareness stage so your messaging stays cohesive across every channel.

## Built on the 5 Stages of Customer Awareness

Every script Aytada writes is anchored to Eugene Schwartz's **Five Stages of Customer Awareness** from *Breakthrough Advertising* (1966). The framework recognises that your audience isn't a single homogeneous group — some people don't know they have a problem yet, while others are already comparing your product to competitors. Showing the wrong message to the wrong stage wastes ad spend and repels buyers.

When you create a campaign, you tell Aytada which stage your target audience is currently at:

| Stage              | Mindset                | What the ad does                                             |
| ------------------ | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Unaware**        | No problem recognition | Tells a story that surfaces the problem — no product mention |
| **Problem aware**  | Recognises the pain    | Validates the frustration and names it clearly               |
| **Solution aware** | Knows solutions exist  | Guides toward your category and builds trust                 |
| **Product aware**  | Knows your product     | Handles objections with demos and social proof               |
| **Most aware**     | Ready to buy           | Drives urgency with offers and friction removal              |

Aytada injects the appropriate narrative strategy, visual direction, and voice tone into every step of the generation pipeline based on the stage you select. Read more in [Awareness stages](/concepts/awareness-stages).

## Credit system

Aytada uses a simple credit system with no opaque token layers. **Strategy, ideation, and scene breakdowns cost zero credits** — you can explore concepts and read full scripts before committing to anything. Credits are only deducted when you render a finished asset.

| Action                           | Credits |
| -------------------------------- | ------- |
| Generate ideas                   | Free    |
| Generate scenes                  | Free    |
| Standard script (GPT-5.5)        | 2 cr    |
| Premium script (Claude Opus 4.7) | 5 cr    |
| Video — Standard tier, per scene | 15 cr   |
| Video — Pro tier, per scene      | 40 cr   |
| Ad banner                        | 4 cr    |
| Social flyer                     | 5 cr    |
| Brand jingle                     | 5 cr    |

Credits never expire. Buy a one-time package or subscribe to a monthly plan — whichever fits how you work. See [Credit packages](/billing/credit-packages) for pricing.

<Note>
  New accounts start with zero credits. Sign up and explore the idea board and script generator at no cost before deciding whether to purchase.
