Step-by-step setup guide + copy-paste prompt
Step-by-step setup
Step 1. Create a Brand Kit. In the homepage side panel, go to Brand → Create new Brand Kit and add logos, colors, fonts and guidelines. Make one per client if you're an agency.
Step 2. Build master templates. Have a designer build 5–10 masters (social post, story, flyer, badge) that use the Brand Kit.
Step 3. Let non-designers make edits. Account managers duplicate a master and change the text, live on a client call if needed.
Step 4. Resize instantly. In the editor, click Resize, choose the sizes and select Copy & resize.
Step 5. Track time saved. Measure turnaround before and after (Madwire went from about 30 to about 10 business days for social).
