Each Instagram carousel the agency produced took six to eight hours — brief to designed, brand-consistent asset. Across a growing client roster, that production time was the ceiling on how many clients they could serve. The pipeline brought that down to thirty minutes of review.
The results
- Carousel production time dropped from 6–8 hours to ~30 minutes of human review
- Agency took on additional clients without hiring additional designers
- Brand consistency became a system property — every slide pulls from the same config, no manual checking
- New carousel formats take a template change to test, not a production overhaul
