The creative team keeps full control.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our client, a performance marketing agency, manages paid media for eCommerce, D2C, and retail brands across Meta, Google, and TikTok, supported by high-volume creative production of images and short-form videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Business challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With 300+ assets produced monthly across 15 client accounts, the agency&#8217;s creative output had outgrown its library. Governance hadn&#8217;t kept pace with volume, and the compounding effect was starting to hurt operations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tags were inconsistent at best, skipped entirely under deadline pressure, making the library progressively harder to search.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Near-identical assets were uploaded repeatedly with no duplicate detection, wasting production spend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rights and stock restriction checks were unreliable, leaving the team one compliance issue away from a serious client problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The agency needed a solution that would enforce order on the way in without slowing down production or removing human judgment from the decisions that mattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution delivered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GetDevDone built an AI-powered review layer that sits between the upload step and the media library.
