Replacing fragmented production with one scalable creative team

The Agency

A U.S.-based full-service marketing agency managing more than 40 active client accounts. The agency had strong account management and strategy capabilities. But creative production had become fragmented.

Some work was handled internally.

Some by freelancers.

Some through specialist vendors.

The result:

Too many people. Too many handoffs. Too much coordination.

The Challenge

The agency was producing approximately 360 creative assets per month.

Its requirements included:

  • Social posts
  • Carousels
  • Paid social ads
  • Short-form videos
  • Display banners
  • Stories
  • Reels
  • Promotional assets
  • Resizes
  • Campaign adaptations
  • Client-specific variations

The internal creative team could produce high-quality work.

But not at the volume required to support continued growth.

The Solution

We became the agency's white-label creative production team.

Not just a design resource.

A complete production layer.

Social Media

We handled:

  • Static posts
  • Carousels
  • Social graphics
  • Content adaptations
  • Platform-specific formats
  • Campaign assets

Paid Social Creative

  • Meta ads
  • Performance creative
  • Promotional creatives
  • Product ads
  • Carousel ads
  • Video ads
  • Hook variations
  • CTA variations

Creative Adaptations

This became one of the biggest parts of the engagement.

A single master creative could be transformed into dozens of platform-ready variations.

Social formats

  • 1:1: - 1080 × 1080
  • 4:5: - 1080 × 1350
  • 9:16: - 1080 × 1920
  • 16:9: - 1920 × 1080

Display formats

We also adapted campaigns into standard display placements such as:

  • 300 × 250
  • 336 × 280
  • 728 × 90
  • 970 × 250
  • 300 × 600
  • 320 × 50
  • 320 × 100
  • 160 × 600
  • 970 × 90
  • 468 × 60
  • 250 × 250
  • 120 × 600

Video formats

  • 9:16: - Reels / Stories / Shorts
  • 1:1: - Social feeds
  • 4:5: - Feed placements
  • 16:9: - YouTube / CTV / landscape placements

We Also Created Variations

One master asset could be adapted based on:

  • Audience: - Different messages for different customer segments.
  • Offer: - Different promotional or product propositions.
  • Geography: - Market-specific messaging.
  • Platform: - Creative adapted to platform requirements.
  • Objective: - Awareness → Consideration → Conversion.

2,880+ Potential Creative Combinations

Not every combination was necessarily produced, but the system gave the agency a scalable production framework rather than requiring every asset to be designed from scratch.
