What Marketing Needs From Image Generation
Marketing lives on volume and iteration: dozens of ad variants, landing-page heroes, social assets, and email visuals — often with legible headlines and consistent branding, across channels and languages. The right model depends on the asset. Here's how to match them. All are on LinkModel under one key.
Best by Asset Type
- Ad creative variants (volume) → Seedream or Nano Banana 2 — cheap and fast, so you can generate many variants to A/B test.
- Headlines / text-heavy banners → Nano Banana Pro (~94% text) or GPT Image 2 (near-perfect text). Legible copy drives CTR.
- Landing-page heroes → Nano Banana Pro (grounding, 2K/4K) for polished, factual visuals.
- Localized campaigns → Seedream 5.0 Pro (native text in 14 languages) — see best multilingual image model.
- On-brand consistency / edits → Seedream 5.0 Pro's layer-separated editing to reuse a template and swap elements.
The Campaign Cost Play
Marketing burns images on variants. Keep it cheap:
- Draft variants on a cheap tier, render winners on a premium model.
- Right-size resolution — social/email rarely need 4K.
- Reuse templates via editing instead of regenerating from scratch (Seedream layers).
- Discounted gateway — LinkModel, up to 30% below official, fixed per-request pricing for clean campaign budgets. More in how to reduce AI API costs.
