The InDesign challenge: Brilliant layouts, locked away
Your design team creates incredible work in Figma. Beautiful brand assets, campaign materials, social templates, presentation decks - all locked in design files that only designers can edit.Meanwhile, your regional teams, sales reps, and partners need customized materials today.They submit requests. Designers become bottlenecks. Deadlines slip. Or worse - teams give up and create off-brand materials themselves.
InDesign files stay locked behind specialist tools
Every small change becomes another designer request
Teams bypass the process and create risky off-brand versions
The result?
Your best design work sits unused while your brand becomes inconsistent.We Brand: Transform InDesign files into production-ready Templates
