DCO
DCO, or Dynamic Creative Optimization, is a digital advertising technology that automatically customizes ad content in real-time to better engage target audiences. By using data and algorithms, DCO delivers personalized ads tailored to individual user preferences, improving campaign effectiveness and ROI.
What is DCO?
DCO, or Dynamic Creative Optimization, dynamically assembles ad elements in real time using data and algorithms to deliver personalized, contextually relevant messages to each prospect. For B2B marketers, it orchestrates copy, imagery, and calls to action based on audience segments, intent signals, location, device, and stage in the buying journey, elevating engagement and conversion. Integrated with product feeds and CRM, DCO scales thousands of creative variants while preserving brand governance and compliance. Continuous testing and machine learning optimize performance, improving media efficiency and ROI. Deployed across display, video, and social, DCO accelerates pipeline impact and sharpens campaign decisioning with insights.
Example
As a marketer, you can use DCO by setting up multiple ad variations with different images, headlines, and offers. For example, an online clothing store can create ads that show winter coats to users in colder regions and sunglasses to users in warmer areas. The DCO platform automatically detects the user’s location and displays the most relevant ad, increasing the chances of engagement and sales.

Its multi-agent AI architecture orchestrates real-time bid and budget decisions, cross-network learning, A/B testing, and creative strategy refinement, ensuring each impression is matched with the most relevant asset while continually improving outcomes. By fusing real-time bidding, keyword optimization, and SKU-level insights with adaptive audience signals, RMIQ automates variant selection, message sequencing, and pacing to maximize ROAS, with customers seeing average gains above 50% and up to five dollars in incremental sales per dollar invested. Coverage extending to roughly 85% of the U.S. retail audience enables broad yet precise reach, while the unified interface consolidates performance dashboards and workflows, streamlining collaboration between brand, shopper, and eCommerce teams.
