Don't buy use cases. 
Buy outcomes. 

 

As a marketing leader, you’re tired of the endless software evaluations, the promises that fall short, and the constant fear of choosing a platform that can’t keep pace with your ambitions. You need measurable impact, not just more features.

Optimizely Opal, teamed with Optimizely Content Marketing Platform (CMP), is built to cut through the noise, giving you the integrated power to accelerate content creation, ensure brand consistency, and drive efficiencies in your day-to-day workflow.

Can you relate?

Three  common frustrations when evaluating content pipeline tools

Long onboarding and reliance on technical teams

Getting new AI tools to truly understand your brand and integrate into existing workflows often takes months, not weeks, tying up valuable engineering resources.

AI that produces content but doesn’t connect to workflows or outcomes

Generative AI is powerful, but if it operates in a silo, it just adds to your content sprawl without driving real business impact or aligning with strategic goals.

Multiple tools for content, data, approvals, and analytics

Juggling disparate systems for every stage of the content lifecycle creates fragmentation, slows down execution, and makes it impossible to get a single source of truth.

Optimizely Opal vs Typeface: What you *actually* need to move faster

 

Optimizely Opal

Typeface

One platform for marketing
Opal acts as the connective tissue across your entire marketing ecosystem, optimizing workflows and data. Typeface excels at content generation and simple agent tasks but lacks the strategic orchestration layer.
Brand-aware AI
Add your company’s brand guidelines and Opal does the rest - ensuring every output is on brand, in compliance, and performant for smarter content at scale.Typeface's AI is advanced for generation but is less integrated into the strategic content lifecycle.
Customize… everything!

Opal’s no-code editor allows you to use natural language to create agents. You’re not locked into OOTB agents – customize or build your own!

Typeface is strong at content creation and simple OOTB content-focused agents.
Enterprise governance

Opal + CMP provides built-in, customizable compliance workflows for approvals, legal review, and brand consistency, ensuring auditability and reducing risk across global teams. 

Typeface offers brand governance for content, but not for the entire campaign lifecycle.
Not just a writing tool, a workforce
Go beyond content to automate repetitive marketing tasks, ideate, and optimize across the entire content supply chain.Typeface can speed up your content development, but doesn’t scale your marketing workflows.

I’ve used Optimizely Opal for competitor analysis, landing page and copy creation, and experiment reporting. Now, I’m keen to let her take on the tasks I’d rather not do!
