The 1:10 method for creative agencies

The 1:10 Method is a streamlined, AI-powered approach that transforms a single creative concept into ten diverse, high-quality visuals using Pimento’s tools. In a creative agency case study, this method enabled the creation of over 50 on-brand images that boosted social engagement and eliminated the need for traditional photoshoots.

By using AI to generate on-brand variations from a single concept, agencies can scale production, stay visually consistent, and meet demanding timelines without exhausting their teams. In this case study, see how one team scaled production, stayed on-brand, and impressed clients using a single, smart workflow.

Challenges faced by the travel brand

Their team approached us with the following needs:

  • High content turnaround expectations. Campaign timelines are tighter than ever and clients want more, faster while creatives burn out on iteration.
  • Brand Consistency at ScaleCreating for multiple clients means juggling varied identities and tone of voice to get higher engagement results.
  • Demand for premium aestheticsMore clients expect top tier, editorial-looking content for all formats and without paying for magazine sized teams.

Implementation of the 1:10 Method

We applied the 1:10 Method by Pimento, which follows a structured and iterative process for AI-generated imagery:

1. Creating an on-brand style on Pimento

We selected 15 visuals we thought were the most accurate to represent of the artistic direction of one of their client.

We created the style - waited for ten minutes to get it ready. After this time, our model was ready to generate images based on the brand’s - a fashion brand - visual identity.

2. Prompt engineering for image generation - Using Pimento Brief

We generated over 40 images in seconds using well-crafted AI prompts. Pimento created different prompt inputs based on our Brief to have a variety of images featured.

Some prompts generated by Pimento from the Brief to create these visuals:

  • The juxtaposition of clouds and a golden straw landscape as models in garments stride confidently through an ethereal setting.
  • A moody photoshoot where ethereal clouds cast soft shadows on models dressed in structured, beige garments.
  • Fashion models emanating serenity in beige attire, positioned to highlight the contrast and harmony between the sky’s clouds and the earth’s straw.

3. Refinement & Iteration

When the brand needed more precise visuals, we fine-tuned the brief and generated additional images depending on their demand. If they loved a particular image but wanted small adjustments, we used the variation tool to make targeted refinements.

The variation tool helps to make targeted refinements (e.g., extending the dress above, see blue brush in the indicated replacement area).

4. Final selection

The fashion brand ended up selecting over 50 high-quality images for their marketing campaigns. This included a mix of landscape shots, fashion countryside visuals, and portrait-focused images.
