Creator videos appear directly in Google Ads asset picker

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Creator videos in the asset picker is a new Demand Gen feature that surfaces a library of suggested creator partnership videos directly in the Google Ads asset picker during campaign setup. The system automatically identifies relevant creator content tailored to the brand, increases campaign authenticity via trusted creator voices, and reduces creative production time by pulling existing video content into the campaign.

What changed

Google's data: Creator partnerships boost Demand Gen campaigns, delivering an average +20% increase in conversion lift while maintaining target CPA efficiency (Google data, Global, Jan 2025 – Jan 2026).

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means Demand Gen advertisers planning video-heavy creative tests should now treat creator-partnership videos as a native asset source rather than as a separate external workflow. Worth scoping the existing creator-content library with brand and creator partnership teams to understand what's available for amplification. Availability: Coming soon, Global, All.
