Brand agency and Frontify
The document discusses how Works Progress Design, an agency, used Frontify to improve their process for creating and sharing brand guidelines with clients. They were able to move guidelines online, making them accessible and up-to-date. This saved significant time compared to static PDF guides. Clients appreciated having current brand assets in one place. One major client benefited from centralized online standards across their 11 international markets. Frontify is now core to the agency's process and branding work.
Brand agency and Frontify

- 2. For an agency,creating and communicating brand gui- delines can potentially be a painstaking process. For Works Progress Design, it wasn‘t much different. A sig- nificant challenge in doing guideline hand-overs is often related to having heavily compressed imagery files, and PDF Style Guides; any change in the material makes the previous data obsolete. Resulting in multiple send outs, dwelling in different places, telling different stories. It could potentially be a nightmare. We sat down with Mara Lubell from Works Progress De- sign, to get deeper insights into howthey’re using Fronti- fy. She told us that, by implementing Frontify, they could restructure their entire client approach – transferring clients‘ brand material into a cloud-based structure.They simplified their creative process by applying designs and documentation in online documents, handing it over to the client in its entirety, granting them a constantly up- to-date brand overview. The investment made in obtaining Frontify resulted not onlywith time-saving tool, it also became an investment in agencyperception as a team that evolveswith technology. The WPD Story „A Frontify Style Guide is not just a project component. By having a living document that can be updated as a client’s brand evolves, it eliminates confusion and reduces time spent on PDF creation and documen- tation. Everyone is on the same page on the most up-to- date guidelines on both the client side, and the agency side.” Screenshot –Works Progress Design’s client overview dashboard.
