About
Ad Lantern is an AI-native creative studio helping DTC, ecommerce, and growing brands produce high-converting ad creative at a volume and speed traditional production simply can't match.
Our story
Ad Lantern is the advertising creative subsidiary of AI 9ja Studios — a 4-time globally award-nominated AI studio known for producing world-class AI films and commercial content.
We founded Ad Lantern to put world-class advertising creative within reach of ambitious brands, without the overhead of large production crews, expensive talent, or months-long timelines.
We saw two things happening at once: media costs were climbing, and creative became the variable that determined whether paid media performed or didn't. The brands winning were the ones shipping more, testing more, and iterating faster.
AI made that pace possible — but only with strong creative direction behind it. So we built a studio where experienced strategists and art directors lead, and AI accelerates. Lean, fast, and built to help brands create high-performing advertising from day one.

Our mission
To give every ambitious brand an endless supply of high-performing ad creative — powered by AI, guided by human creative taste.
Our approach
A senior team of strategists, art directors, and producers — multiplied by an AI production pipeline tuned for advertising.
AI generates; humans direct, edit, and approve. No asset ships without creative review.
We work asynchronously across timezones with brands in the US, UK, EU, and beyond.
