The biggest mistake with Pause Ads? Treating them like smaller versions of traditional CTV creative. 📺 If you’re designing for the pause moment, the rules change.

Špela Vene, Sr. Product Manager at Celtra, explains why the format needs a different approach, with clear hierarchy, plenty of negative space, and elements that can be understood from across the room.

And because viewers control when they pause, the creative needs to work whether someone looks for a few seconds or comes back minutes later.

Is your marketing ecosystem broken?

Somewhere between the brief and the launch, work gets stuck: cross-functional approvals, manual resizing, brand compliance that's "close enough" instead of exact.

Add 10+ markets and 5+ platforms, and what should be a strategy turns into a bottleneck. Celtra replaces that fragmented process with a single ex*****on engine: AI that follows your brand rules automatically, creative scored for effectiveness before you spend on media, and a straight line from design to 100+ channels.

Crypto markets move literally every second, and if that's not already a tough pace for advertising to match, add on a regulated space where every disclaimer and risk warning has to be word-perfect. 😮‍💨

Now try building creative for that on a normal production timeline: brief the design team, wait for the build, route it through compliance, upload it manually to every placement, and hope the market hasn't already moved on by the time it's live.

Crypto.com decided that wasn't good enough. Working with Celtra, they rebuilt their approach to social and display advertising around real-time creative: live prices and messaging update directly inside the ad itself, before every impression, while every risk warning and disclaimer stays locked exactly as compliance approved it. 🔐 The market keeps changing, but the compliance never does.

Here's what that unlocked:
⚡ 6.5x faster time to market
📈 +20% CTR
♻️ 62.7k ad creatives dynamically updated

Some internships last a few months. Others make you want to stick around for the long haul. 🩷

Tanja U. Mosquera, Celtra’s VP of Marketing, joined Celtra as an intern more than 10 years ago and, somewhere along the way, found a place full of people who keep challenging her, inspiring her, and helping her grow.

We’d say that’s a pretty good reason to stick around. 🙂‍↕️

Pause ads are getting 2x the attention of a standard 60-second CTV slot. 📺 So what could that extra attention mean for your CTV campaigns?

Bridget Beatty, Sr. Sales Director, Team Lead at Wunderkind, shares findings from a study they conducted together with TVision across 15 verticals that found Pause Ads delivered twice the attention of a standard CTV slot. The reason makes sense: when someone looks away from a commercial, they miss it. With a pause ad, the creative is still there when they look back.
