Getting started with artwork automation - part 1

What is artwork automation?

• Artwork automation is the process and systems used to automate the creation of branded materials.
• This is usually done through creating a set of branded templates which are used to create customised artwork.
• With most artwork automation systems you have the ability to set permissions, workflow and how the artwork will be used, e.g. downloaded, sent for printing professionally or ordered.

Artwork automation benefits for your organisation (aka the business case)

What are the compelling reasons for your organisation to adopt artwork automation?

Increase productivity

• through reduction of bottlenecks in approving or making designs
• reduced reliance on external suppliers
• new artwork can be made from a template in minutes

Empowered workforce

• through being able to create artwork themselves
• Improved satisfaction as making artwork becomes an enjoyable experience

Protect brand value

• through strong, consistent identity
• promote the brand with more visibility of branded material through increased creation of artwork

Three benefits for you and your team

1. Stop doing simple, repeatable, labour intensive tasks
2. Distribute tasks amongst workforce with user self service
3. Free up time to be more productive on strategic, expert tasks

For example, you can stop ...

making minute text changes to event posters, creating business cards for each new starter or making countless email footers for every new initiative. Sounds good, right?
