Evolving Creatives with Clicks: CTR-Driven Advertising image Editing via Attribute Disentanglement and Preference Alignment

In this work, we propose Evolving Creatives with Clicks (ECC), which reformulates creative optimization as fine-grained editing rather than generation from scratch.

Key points

  • The optimization objective for e-commerce advertising creatives has shifted from aesthetic quality to online business metrics like click-through rate (CTR).
  • Recent methods generate appealing ad images from product images by constructing CTR-based reward signals and refining prompt generation via Reinforcement Learning.
  • Based on attribute contrasts between images with disparate CTRs, we instruction-tune a prompt model to generate editing suggestions, then refine it with real click preferences since reference-derived suggestions are not uniformly beneficial.
  • Furthermore, we introduce Consistent Preference Optimization (CPO) as ECC's preference optimization strategy, which enforces consistency across semantically equivalent shuffled suggestions to mitigate DPO overfitting and improve preference generalization.
