Design Automation for Marketing Agencies

Design Automation for Marketing Agencies

Marketing agencies juggle dozens of client accounts, each needing unique branded content. Layerre lets you create once in Canva and generate thousands of variants across clients, campaigns, and channels, without adding designers.

The Problem: Why Marketing Agencies Need Design Automation

  • ✕Designers spend 70%+ of time on production work (swapping copy, resizing), not creative work
  • ✕Each client needs branded content in multiple sizes and formats
  • ✕Onboarding new clients means rebuilding templates from scratch
  • ✕Campaign turnaround pressure means late nights and missed deadlines
  • ✕Scaling content output requires hiring more designers, expensive and slow

The Solution

Import your client Canva templates into Layerre. Use the API or no-code integrations to generate variants at scale. Designers focus on strategy and creative direction while production runs automatically.

Workflows for Marketing Agencies

1. Client content calendar automation

Connect Google Sheets (content calendar) → Make → Layerre → Google Drive. When the content team adds a row with copy and image references, Layerre generates the post and saves it to the client folder.

2. Multi-size ad creative generation

One Canva design imported in multiple sizes (Feed, Story, Display). One API call per size per variant. A 50-product campaign × 4 sizes = 200 creatives generated in minutes.

3. Client brand kit templates

Set up one master template per client. Swap colors, logos, and fonts per client via API parameters. One template serves multiple clients with consistent quality.

What You Can Generate

  • →Social media posts for 10 clients × 5 posts/week = 50 images/week
  • →Ad creatives: 20 variants × 4 sizes × 3 clients = 240 images/campaign
  • →Monthly reports: branded cover pages for 15 clients
  • →Event promotion: localized graphics for 8 markets

How to Get Started

  1. 1Design your templates in Canva. Create one template for each asset type you need. Keep dynamic elements on separate layers.
  2. 2Import into Layerre. Share your Canva design and paste the link. Layerre reads your layers and makes them available as dynamic fields.
  3. 3Connect your data. Use the REST API for programmatic generation, or connect Make, Zapier, or n8n for no-code automation.
  4. 4Generate at scale. Generate hundreds or thousands of design variants from your data. Focus on strategy and quality while production runs automatically.
