Productivity grew, wages grew and profits grew. This ops revolution echoed across many other sectors and transformed the way workforces around the world produced goods and services, helping many businesses survive several economic highs and lows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, for today\u2019s enterprise, the internet era of high-frequency communication demands for yet another ops revolution to take ideas to market faster, this time a creative operations revolution. Given that <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.polleverywhere.com\/visual-content\/\">93% of all communication is visual<\/a>, the average brand today has about<a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/growing-a-business\/youve-got-8-seconds-to-grab-a-customers-attention-heres\/427827\"> 8 seconds to grab people\u2019s attention<\/a>. To stay relevant, brands need to visually communicate much more, much faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is \u2014 most enterprises continue to produce content for the digital world the way they would for traditional consumption on TV or offline billboards. This process is time-consuming, money-burning, and mired with manual, repetitive tasks. Enterprise communication seriously lacks the speed and efficiency needed to drive today\u2019s marketing campaigns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a Rube Goldberg machine, a brand\u2019s communication infrastructure is often entangled in a loop of<strong> broken processes<\/strong> that stretch timelines and curb creativity; <strong>siloed teams<\/strong> that lack efficiency and collaborative deftness; and <strong>legacy tools<\/strong> that cannot scale production. And the challenge for today\u2019s enterprise is to streamline these different parts into one robust communication engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:7px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>The journey so far\u2026 moving past traditional creative operations to keep up with today\u2019s speed of content consumption<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Take for example one of the biggest bottlenecks in a marketing campaign lifecycle \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/ushering-in-the-age-of-efficiency-why-ai-brand-safety-can-be-a-game-changer\/\">brand safety and compliance.<\/a> The process of ensuring brand safety has always been a nightmarish task of several folks \u2014 brand teams, legal teams and campaign managers \u2014 going through every asset and every creative to manually check if they comply with company guidelines, platform rules and other legal requirements. Even the world\u2019s largest ecommerce platform rejects nearly 50% of creatives shared by brand advertisers for not being compliant with the guidelines of the platform, whether in terms of dimensions or branding. This rejection meant severely delayed campaign go-lives and significant revenue losses for the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The journey of a campaign, from conception to go-live, is mired with such operational inefficiencies that result in heavy loss of business opportunities and spillage in campaign costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1520\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-23-at-10.35.29\u202fAM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-23-at-10.35.29\u202fAM.png 1520w, https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-23-at-10.35.29\u202fAM-768x304.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1520px) 100vw, 1520px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To really understand the pitfalls in the labyrinth of enterprise communication, let\u2019s trace the arduous journey that a typical campaign manager takes to get a single campaign go-live.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:7px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A day in the life of a campaign manager and relatable stories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1490\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-23-at-10.36.57\u202fAM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-23-at-10.36.57\u202fAM.png 1490w, https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-23-at-10.36.57\u202fAM-768x324.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1490px) 100vw, 1490px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:7px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Firstly, campaign managers or project managers would have to <strong>raise a request <\/strong>for the campaign requirement via email platforms like Gmail, Microsoft or project management tools like Asana, Trello, Hive, and Jira, to name a few. Unfortunately, most of these requests are hard to manage between creative teams and often go cold.&nbsp;<br><br><br><\/li><li>Then comes the task of designers painstakingly <strong>gathering assets<\/strong> required for the campaign, scattered across various digital asset management tools like Dropbox or Google Drive and offline storage platforms. Maybe someone stored it on a hard disk that\u2019s gone missing? Maybe it was mislabelled? Inefficient creative operations management means that this task often takes up more than 20% of the total creative cycle time (from planning to go live).&nbsp;<br><br><br><\/li><li>Once assets are found, designers would then work on key visuals for the campaign on design tools like Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, which often loops back into gathering and preparing assets due to the lack of a creative operations software that facilitates intelligent design systems.&nbsp;<br><br><br><\/li><li>And then comes the mammoth task of <strong>adapting these key visuals<\/strong> for different platforms, multiple products, sizes and variants. Most brands coordinate with around 3 different agencies to execute this at scale and spend upwards of&nbsp; $250K &#8211; $300K on agency costs annually. Since these adapts are done manually by agencies without any creative operations software, brandwidth issues might not allow for more personalization and language-level customization, leaving huge markets untapped.&nbsp;<br><br><br><\/li><li>All the creatives are then prepared for review, sometimes taking hours to just stack them on to PPT files for approval. And then the <strong>review <\/strong>itself would take around five teams to check all creatives against brand guidelines and campaign briefs, often taking around 3 days. This would often loop back into further iterations and new messaging variants, and then circle back to longer review cycles.<br><br><br><\/li><li>Finally, once creatives are ready and approved, files are then prepared to be published on distribution channels like Meta, Google Ads and the like. At this point, campaign managers might find themselves scrambling once again to fix platform rejections. Moreover due to lack of efficient creative operations management, creatives might decay and waste even up to 20% of campaign budgets, for which creative refresh would be required.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:7px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A new path for the same journey: Teams, processes, and tools that speak to each other<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Brands now need to achieve a level of efficiency that legacy tools and processes were just not built to support. For example, Adobe Photoshop was built to cater to professional designers\u2019 requirements, one person at a time, along with years of training and high costs for licenses and upgrades. Because of that very reason, it has a fundamental limitation when it comes to collaborating, reviewing and helping non-designers access creative production. Moreover, scale was not built into its primary function, rendering it ineffective for bulk adaptations. The answer to this is not a different design tool like Figma because they too do not address the scale of communication needed for businesses to thrive in today\u2019s digital ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we\u2019re talking about is a <strong>CreativeOps revolution<\/strong> \u2013 taking a convoluted infrastructure that bleeds out time and money, and turning it into intelligent creative operations that make a brand\u2019s communication infrastructure more agile, so that scale and speed are no longer challenges<strong>. <\/strong>A combination of &#8220;Creative&#8221; and &#8220;Operations&#8221;, CreativeOps brings together the various parts of design and marketing operations to help brands go live faster with their campaigns, translating to more business impact in much less time. This new agile CreativeOps is now being adopted by marketing teams across the globe, already benefiting industry giants like Amazon, McDonald\u2019s, Walmart and Colgate-Palmolive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what really makes for good Creative Operations?
