Objective

From intent to campaign in minutes

Spark was designed to help users reach value faster through a simplified, guided setup experience.

Problem

Project setup was a bottleneck

Creating a single design request takes ~7 minutes. A typical campaign requires 8–12 requests, resulting in 60–90 minutes of setup before design work begins.

Measured Impact

90% time savings

Reduced campaign setup from ~28 hours per year to under 3 hours.
