Campaign asset automation is useful when the brief is stable and the formats are many: hero, square, story, and a short motion cut. The brief should not be rewritten for every size.

  • One locked brief.
  • Many named outputs.
  • Brand locks survive variants.
  • QA before any channel upload.

Lock the Brief Before You Multiply Formats

Marketing asset automation fails when every size becomes a new idea. Lock product, claim, and forbidden changes first.

Sizes are outputs, not new strategies.

  • Locked product and claim.
  • Size list.
  • Model per row type.
  • Review before channel upload.

Start With Still Variants, Then Motion

Campaign creative automation should prove still variants before spending video jobs.

Motion is a format, not a rescue for a weak brief.

Hero, square, story, and clip rows should share a campaign ID.

Format Typical generation
Hero still GPT Image 2 or Nano Banana 2 from pack shot
Cropped variants Edit from approved hero
Short motion Kling 3.0 or Seedance 2.5 from approved still

If each channel lives in a private folder, the campaign split.

QA Brand Locks on Every Size

A square crop that breaks the label is a failed row, not a platform quirk.

  1. Lock the brief.
  2. Generate stills.
  3. Approve.
  4. Then generate motion from the approved still.

Reject before upload.

Use Media.io CLI as the Campaign Generation Layer

Media.io CLI can produce stills and short clips from the same campaign folder while the agent owns size lists and locks.

    Campaign ID, format, size, model, source still, status, and reviewer decision.

    As the generation layer for stills and short clips in the campaign folder.
