What Ceros does

Ceros is a cloud-based, no-code interactive content creation platform founded in 2012 and headquartered in New York, with a London office serving EMEA customers. The platform enables marketers and designers to build interactive digital experiences — landing pages, microsites, reports, presentations, and branded content hubs — without writing code, using a freeform design canvas underpinned by an Adaptive Layout system that delivers device-specific outputs via HTML5/JavaScript served from Cloudflare CDN with S3/CloudFront storage.

The product portfolio centers on Flex (the flagship interactive design tool, introduced as the evolution of the original Ceros Studio) and Flex AI, a generative AI design assistant that understands canvas, content, and brand context to assist across Inspire, Plan, Build, and Review stages. Surrounding products include MarkUp (visual feedback and collaboration supporting 30+ content types), Editor (template-based content scaling for non-designers), and Studio (legacy design tool). Native integrations with HubSpot, Marketo, Eloqua, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Adobe extend the platform into B2B marketing stacks, and a JavaScript Experience SDK enables advanced personalization and dynamic logic.

Ceros monetizes through annual subscription SaaS contracts (quote-based, with enterprise, team, and freemium MarkUp tiers) layered with usage-based FlexAI Credits. The go-to-market is hybrid: product-led growth via free trials and self-serve signup combined with enterprise field sales and inside-sales motions targeting large organizations. Customer logos span Technology, Construction, Professional Services, Media, Healthcare, Engineering, and Real Estate (e.g., PepsiCo, BDO, McCarthy Building Companies, TheSkimm, TimeOut, ABB Optical, CoreSite). The company is privately held, with Sumeru Equity Partners as its largest investor following a $100M growth round in July 2020, and has completed acquisitions of Avocode (October 2021) and Oroson (January 2022) to extend the platform surface.
