The World's Biggest Brands Trust XR

Major Global Retailer

A major retailer brought its ad production in-house but quickly hit the wall on talent payments and legal compliance. XR stepped in with its end-to-end ad ops platform for paying talent, managing rights, and supporting production, taking the risk and complexity off the table so the brand could scale without disruption.

Global Financial Services Brand

A massive financial services brand was struggling to manage all its ad creative across global teams, with too many vendors and disconnected systems. XR brought ad assets, rights, and production into one place, making it much easier to scale its campaigns worldwide, reuse existing assets, and better manage creative costs.

Global Beverage Brand

A global beverage brand lacked a central place to manage its creative assets and rights across markets, which slowed campaign launches and added risk. XR brought everything together in a single ad ops platform, speeding up approvals and launches, reducing compliance headaches, and keeping the brand in control worldwide.

Tech Powerhouse

When a Silicon Valley tech leader needed to replace an aging ad asset system fast, XR stepped in with its ad ops platform that unified assets and workflows, helping the brand’s marketers move faster, run campaigns with confidence, and save hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

Electronics Retailer

This famous retailer’s in-house studio was running high volumes of campaigns, but ad operations were split across vendors and systems, slowing things down and adding risk. XR brought everything into one ad ops platform, streamlining workflows, ensuring SAG-compliant talent payments, and cutting launch times by 50% and costs by 25%.

“Before XR, Rights Management was a manual, fragmented process, spread across teams and markets. It created unnecessary risk, slowed us down, and limited our ability to reuse content globally. With XR, we’ve gained full visibility and control helping Haleon reduce risk, improve efficiency, and unlock significant value from our existing creative assets.”

Global Brewing Company

Managing 70+ beverage brands across global markets, this brewer struggled with fragmented systems and complex production workflows.
