Timeline

What is a typical
project timeline?

The production time depends on the brand’s assets and the task complexity level.

Here are some estimations based on our experience.

Ad production or animation tasks

Projects run faster if you provide the key visual or storyboard, so we can focus on the animation and production:

Creative tasks

Starting ad production from scratch, preparing creative ideas, designing storyboards or illustrations needs a bit more time and effort:

  • Assets for a 10-20 display ad campaign: 1-2 weeks

We always push the limits to deliver ahead of schedule without compromising on quality. Partners we serve are quite often surprised by our speed 🚀

Do you work late,
on weekends, or 24/7?

At Adguns, we understand that sometimes projects must be completed at the speed of light, while still keeping the budget in mind. No worries, we’re your go-to team ready to firefight last-minute or urgent ad production tasks.

In these cases, our team must approach projects differently. This might mean allocating additional resources or dedicating a small team to a single job. 

For the added challenges and difficulties of speedy service, we charge a surcharge of between +50% to +100% of our regular rates. This applies to projects requiring late-night work, weekend work or superhuman turnaround time 🔥

What’s your
availability?

We know in-house teams get snowed under by high-priority tasks from time to time. And that’s why we keep time slots open for those urgent, “didn’t see that coming” requests while planning our projects one week upfront.

Got at least a week for a small to medium ad campaign? No problem! We’ll get the campaign done easily.

Workflow

What’s
the process?

  1. Briefing chat
    You provide us with the task + assets, and we ask questions to make sure we’re on the same wavelength.
  2. Ideas & insights
    We come back to you with a vision, and share our point of view and proposed game plan.
  3. Let’s talk numbers
    We evaluate the project price and agree on the schedule together.
  4. Prototype or the first draft
    Expect some demos, storyboards, or creative design ideas to get a feel of our direction.
  5. Concept ad production
    We roll up our sleeves to craft ad samples for your review and your client’s feedback.
  6. Final ad set
    We produce the whole ad set, run QA and seamlessly deliver the final files.

Already have the key visual or master file and storyboard? We can skip the first steps and move directly to estimating the budget and timeline.

What assets
do you need to start?

The more assets you provide, the better the project gets. You’re welcome to share as many files as possible, from key visual and master design to fonts, demo animation, ideas, texts, brand books, style guides, the media plan, specs, technical requirements and more.

From these we’ll analyze everything and come back to you with our ideas, concepts, and possible solutions for the ad production task.

Too much on your plate or drowning in files? No sweat — let’s schedule a call and solve this challenge together!

How should we prepare the assets for production?

Prepping your assets properly sets the whole project up for success. And providing things like the campaign’s key visual or storyboard saves so much production time.

Remember, we’re in this together. So if you hit a bump give us a shout for some help.
