Fluency

Category: Automation/Workflow

Build and run thousands of ad campaigns from rule sets.

Fluency automates paid media operations at a scale where doing it by hand stops being possible. You define rule sets it calls Blueprints, and it generates entire ad accounts and campaigns from them automatically, which is how agencies and franchise networks launch and maintain campaigns for hundreds or thousands of locations without a proportional headcount. Around that sit data integration and media planning, multichannel campaign management, budget management with overspend protection, real-time optimisation, and automated report creation and distribution. Its embedded AI, Muse, drafts creative and surfaces optimisation recommendations, but outputs are validated against your advertiser rules before going live and it does not touch live spend directly, which is the right safety design. The company raised a $40m round led by Integrity Growth Partners and says it handles around three billion dollars in annual media spend across more than fifty thousand local businesses.

Our verdict

Built for a specific and genuinely hard problem, and it has the scale figures to suggest it solves it: three billion dollars of annual media spend and fifty thousand local businesses is not a pitch deck number. Generating whole accounts from Blueprints is the correct abstraction for anyone whose work is fundamentally the same campaign repeated with local variation, and budget management with overspend protection matters enormously when you are running that many accounts. The decision to have Muse propose rather than act, with outputs validated against advertiser rules before going live, is the right call on safety and worth noting given how many tools in this space hand an AI the credit card. Three caveats. It is firmly for high-volume operators, so a single-brand or SMB reader should look elsewhere. The review base is very thin at around a dozen. And the positioning shifted from "digital" to "agentic" advertising operating system in 2026 without an obvious product change, so some of the agentic language is marketing rather than substance.

Best for: Agencies, franchise and multi-location networks and resellers running campaigns across hundreds or thousands of locations.
