BayCreative, Inc.

San Francisco, United States · 13 people · Est. 1997

BayCreative is a creative strategy partner for B2B technology companies that need to stand out in a market flooded with content. Content is no longer the challenge. Clarity is. Most organizations are producing more than ever, but saying less. Messaging fragments across teams. Brand promises get diluted. Customers are left to piece together the value on their own. We solve that. BayCreative helps companies define a clear point of view and direct how their value is communicated across the entire customer lifecycle, from first impression through onboarding, adoption, and expansion. We align marketing, sales, product, and customer teams around a shared narrative so every touchpoint reinforces the same story. This is not about creating more content. It is about making sure what you say actually lands, consistently, everywhere it matters. Then, where it counts, we bring that strategy to life through high-impact creative, across all media, over all channels, and always in line with the system. We have partnered with companies like Salesforce, ServiceNow, DocuSign, NVIDIA, Cisco, Intel, Google, X, McAfee, and Microsoft, helping them communicate complex value in ways that drive real business outcomes. If your message is getting lost, diluted, or disconnected as it moves through your ecosystem, we should talk.

Emodo

San Francisco, United States · 13 people · Est. 2017

Emodo believes performance TV only works when CTV adopts the same creative-optimization DNA that made Search and Social unstoppable—and adapts it for the big screen. That means moving beyond “we bought premium inventory and reached households” to “we delivered the right creative to the right household at the right moment—and can prove the lift.” Emodo isn’t another SSP selling CTV supply. We’re a CTV ad-performance platform built around AI-powered dynamic creative optimization (DCO), designed to optimize creative, audience, and inventory together—not in silos. Our core belief is simple: programmatic CTV can rival the performance of the walled gardens, but only when AI drives outcomes across the full decision loop. Emodo is a wholly owned subsidiary of OneMagnify, which helps the world’s leading brands create optimal customer experiences through digital transformation, driving personalization at scale through data-driven, AI-enhanced, and technology-enabled marketing solutions. OneMagnify and Emodo are backed by Crestview Partners.
