A production system, not a queue of one-off requests.
Creative ops teams are judged on throughput and consistency. Both improve when intake, brand governance and the adaptation stage are standardized — and when the final review stays human.
- Repeatable intake
- Governed brand rules
- One review gate
- No credit card required · Full per-size control
Six building blocks of a workflow that survives peak season.
Structured intake
One request format that captures placements, languages, deadlines and the approving stakeholder up front.
Brand governance
Approved fonts, colors and logos stored as reusable Brand Kits so every adaptation starts compliant.
Size libraries
Standard format sets per campaign type, so nobody rebuilds the media plan from scratch each time.
Adaptation stage
The repetitive middle of the process — one approved master expanded into every required format.
Single review gate
One structured pass over every output before export, instead of scattered feedback per size.
Measured throughput
Formats delivered, cycle time and rework rate — the numbers that justify headcount and tooling.
From request to delivered campaign, in five stages.
- 1
Intake and brief
Capture placements, languages, deadlines and the approver before any design work starts.
- 2
Concept and approval
Produce and approve one master creative. Everything downstream references it.
- 3
Adaptation
Generate the required sizes from the approved master with the campaign's brand rules applied.
- 4
Review
Inspect typography, safe areas, framing and direction per output, and edit individual sizes as needed.
- 5
Delivery
Export with consistent naming and hand off to media, localization or the client.
What to standardize before you scale volume.
- One approved master per campaign
- Brand Kits instead of ad-hoc asset folders
- Documented format sets per placement
- Naming and export conventions
- Defined approver per campaign
- Per-size review before export
- Localization and RTL handled in the same flow
- Throughput and rework tracked monthly
