HOW FLIPKART BOOSTED AD CLICK-THROUGH WITH GAANAAI PRODUCT VIDEOS.

Flipkart's static ad creative showed the product but never why it mattered, holding back engagement. GaanaAI's human-plus-AI team produced functionality-led video ads that drove higher click-through and more conversions.

Context

STATIC ADS SHOWED THE PRODUCT, NOT WHY IT MATTERED.

Flipkart runs advertising across its marketplace to drive product discovery in crowded categories. Much of the ad creative leaned on static product images -the same flat visuals used everywhere else. The ads earned impressions, but little else.

The issue was that static ads blended into the feed. Shoppers couldn't tell what made a product worth a click, because the creative showed appearance, not function. The impressions were there; the click-through and downstream conversion weren't.

We were getting impressions but not the clicks. The ads showed the product, but never showed why it mattered.

The Challenge

EASY TO SCROLL PAST, HARD TO TEST AT SCALE.

ChallengeImpact
Ad creative used static images onlyAds blended into the feed and were easy to scroll past
No way to show product functionality in-adShoppers didn't grasp the value, so click-through stayed low
Static creative fatigued quicklyAd efficiency declined the longer campaigns ran
Producing video ads at scale was costly and slowHard to test video across campaigns
GaanaAI in Action

HUMAN + AI VIDEO ADS, BUILT FOR THE FEED.

GaanaAI replaced static ad creative with functionality-led video ads built for Flipkart -without a single new shoot. Unlike self-serve tools, GaanaAI pairs human creative direction with AI production, so every ad is both on-brand and made at scale -the human-plus-AI model that sets it apart from other players in the market.

Campaign & Creative Audit

  • Creative experts reviewed running campaigns to find where static creative was underperforming.
  • Mapped the product features and use-moments most likely to earn a click.
  • Prioritized top-spend, low-CTR campaigns for video.

Human + AI Video Ads

  • Produced short, functionality-led video ads tailored to Flipkart's ad formats.
  • Human art direction led every ad with the product in action, not just a hero shot.
  • Kept creative on-brand and consistent across the campaign set, with no shoots.

Test, Launch & Optimize

  • Launched video-vs-static A/B tests across priority campaigns.
  • Formatted ads for Flipkart's sponsored and ad placements.
  • Refreshed low-performing video ads quickly to keep click-through climbing.

Why It Mattered

Ad spend only works if the creative earns the click. Static images compete on appearance in a feed full of appearances; video competes on understanding -it shows the shopper why the product is worth their attention. What made it work wasn't a tool, but GaanaAI's human-plus-AI model: creative judgment that knows what to show, paired with AI that delivers it at campaign scale. That combination is what sets GaanaAI apart from other players -and what turned ad impressions into clicks and conversions.
