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:
- Animation concept: within 24 hours or sooner
- Projects of 10-40 ad animations: 2-5 business days
- Large ad production project of 50+ ads: 1-2 weeks
- High-volume ad production of 100+ assets: 2-3 weeks
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.
Based on our experience:
- Small to medium-sized projects of 10-40 ads = 1 week or faster.
- Large-sized projects of 50+ ads = more than 1 week, incl. time for planning and prep.

Ready to get started? Send over your project details and our team will get back to you in a flash.
💡 Pro tip: the more information and assets you provide along with your request, the more precise our budget and timeline estimation will be.
Can Adguns provide
the final (working)
files?
The short answer is YES. All the files and their rights belong to you and your clients, no questions asked. We’re not precious, and get excited when other creatives add their personal touches and flair to our work.
If you request files at the start…
Simple. We add a little extra to the project’s budget. This covers the costs of logically preparing the file structure, naming and organizing the layers and adding some extras to make them super easy to navigate and understand.
At the end of the project, we’ll send you all the assets and well-organized editable/open master files.
If you request files at the end of the project…
No worries, it’s still possible. Here are the two possible scenarios so you can choose the one that’s best for you:
a) Files “as they are”
Get the working files as we left them, with some tiny imperfections. Slightly imbalanced layers, maybe a bit of random naming or a somewhat messy file structure.
This option is best if you just want to put files into your archive or hold backup the files on your side.
Price: FREE
b) Reviewed and organized files
Need everything shipshape? Then we’ll take the time to straighten everything up for you.
his means reviewing and checking every file structure, organizing the layers and removing unnecessary elements. You’ll get a streamlined set of files at your fingertips, ready to use in future ad or video production projects.
Price: 100-150 €
Workflow
What’s
the process?
We have a clearly defined process that’s passed the test of time. It’s our tried-and-tested recipe for clear communication, budget-friendly production and getting things done fast.
- Briefing chat
You provide us with the task + assets, and we ask questions to make sure we’re on the same wavelength. - Ideas & insights
We come back to you with a vision, and share our point of view and proposed game plan. - Let’s talk numbers
We evaluate the project price and agree on the schedule together. - Prototype or the first draft
Expect some demos, storyboards, or creative design ideas to get a feel of our direction. - Concept ad production
We roll up our sleeves to craft ad samples for your review and your client’s feedback. - 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.

How do Adguns
manage projects?
Ever heard of Trello? It’s our go-to tool to get things rolling, and we’re also familiar with Notion and Asana. If you are happy with these, keep an eye out for an invitation to join our boards.
Using a different project management platform? No problem! We’re super flexible and can fit into any workflow. Just let us know which tools you’re using so we can check them out 😄
On top of this, we use some internal tools to streamline final file hand-offs and the ad review process. This speeds up delivery and keeps things running smoothly. Curious? We’d love to give you a tour! 😉
Do you animate
social ads and videos?
Yes, we do. Our top-notch 2D motion designers and animators can handle video ads, animation, and video production on a tight timeline. Thanks to our experience helping partners in a rush, we’ve developed skills to create exciting yet meaningful effects for digital ads and sculpt 3D elements for branded videos upon request.
FYI, the Adguns team works with Adobe After Effects, Adobe Animate, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and other Adobe products.)
Working with us opens up so many possibilities for your team.
