Ad Template Library
Black Umbrella's Ad Template Library stores unlimited winning creatives under each brand, giving Astro visual references to generate new variations that build on proven performers.
Why marketers care
Your best-performing ads aren't accidents—they're formulas. The layout, visual hierarchy, color usage, and design elements that drove conversions should inform every new campaign. But without a system, these winners get lost in folders or forgotten entirely.
Our Ad Template Library turns your winning creatives into reusable assets. Upload ads that crushed it, and Astro uses them as visual DNA for new generations. It's pattern recognition at scale—keeping what works while testing new angles.
Stop starting from scratch. Stop recreating winners by accident. Build on what already works, systematically and automatically.

Brand-Specific Libraries
Each brand maintains its own template collection. Agency managing 50 clients? Each has distinct visual DNA. No mixing, no confusion.

Templates aren't rigid. Tell Astro to "use the hero template but make it feel more premium" or "follow this layout but for summer campaign." Your templates evolve with your needs.
Compound Learning
Every winning ad can become tomorrow's template. It's a virtuous cycle: test → win → templatize → improve → repeat.
Instant Discovery
Search templates by name across your entire library. Find that killer layout from six months ago in seconds, not hours.
