AI at scale still depends on production discipline
Adobe details a Firefly campaign spanning 392 unique images and videos, 38 screens, 30 aspect ratios, and extensive Frame.io review workflows.
The spectacle is visible; the system that keeps it coherent is the real case study.
The Story
Adobe’s Times Square case study is useful because it frames AI as one part of a large production system—not as a replacement for art direction, review, versioning, or delivery.
The campaign required hundreds of distinct assets to behave like one coordinated idea across wildly different screen formats. That is fundamentally a systems and approvals problem, with generative tools helping increase the range and speed of exploration.
For Studio Wensday, the lesson is to design the control layer alongside the creative layer: naming, review, versioning, aspect ratios, and handoff are part of the concept when the output is large.

Studio Wensday Angle
Scale rewards a clear creative system more than a clever prompt.
