Cutting creative turnaround from days to hours
USA Home Improvement replaced an external designer workflow and Photoshop production with ImagineArt, generating social ads, SMS and MMS creative, hurricane-season promotions and campaign visuals in hours rather than waiting a day or more.

The Challenge
Everything started with a brief and a wait
The team ran two tools: one connecting them to human designers, and Photoshop. Every visual meant a written brief, a wait, and revision rounds. Last-minute pivots were not possible, which is a poor fit for a seasonal business where hurricane promotions and deadline-driven campaigns are the norm. Testing several directions meant several briefs and several waits.
The Approach
Generate first, brief later
The workflow inverted. The team now generates multiple styles, layouts and directions in one session and decides afterwards what is worth developing. External designers were not dropped, they were moved to the end of the process for final polish instead of the beginning for concepts.
Instead of waiting for a designer to turn around every concept, we can quickly generate different styles, layouts, and campaign directions ourselves before deciding what to use or refine.
The Results
Faster, more independent, and more things tested
Campaign production dropped from a day or more to a few hours.
The brief cycle now starts only after an idea has been validated internally, not before.
Several directions get evaluated at once, so more concepts reach review.
Ideas get shown rather than described, which makes experimenting cheap enough to be worth doing.
