Content Creation

How design templates save finance brands 80% in content creation

Marketing colleagues collaborating on brand tasks using Papirfly’s platform

Marketing teams in banks, credit unions, and insurers face increasing pressure to produce more content, faster—without sacrificing compliance or brand control.

But with legacy tools, siloed teams, and agency dependencies, production costs and risks spiral fast.

Discover how Papirfly helps financial institutions reduce asset creation effort by up to 80%—while reducing spend, improving control and brand consistency, and increasing speed to market.

Why financial brands overspend on content design

Financial institutions operate in highly regulated environments where every marketing asset must be accurate, brand-compliant, and legally sound.

When local branches rely on outdated systems or manually recreate content, it increases the risk of errors such as non-compliant disclaimers, conflicting messaging, slow campaign rollouts, and rising agency costs.

These inefficiencies make financial content production not just more expensive, but also riskier. The real challenge is not simply creating more content, but creating smarter content with consistent compliance and control.

Templated design unlocks faster creation of content at scale

Papirfly’s design templates give financial marketing and compliance teams the ability to scale high-quality content without losing control or inflating costs. Essential brand elements, logos, and disclaimers are locked into every template, eliminating common errors before they happen.

Local teams gain the freedom to create on-brand materials within clear guardrails, while automated approval workflows keep compliance seamless. The outcome is faster, more consistent campaigns — with far less reliance on agencies or manual rework.

Key benefits of design templates include:

  • Locked brand assets and compliance elements
  • Empowered local content creation within guardrails
  • Automated approval workflows
  • 80% reduction in manual content creation effort

Using design templates with DAM for smarter governance

Papirfly’s Digital Asset Management (DAM) brings every approved asset, campaign file, and approval record into one secure, centralized hub.

This ensures every branch or business unit works from the most up-to-date version of logos, visuals, product images, and region-specific disclaimers.

With features like smart search, version control, usage rights management, and full audit trails, DAM gives financial institutions complete governance and transparency across all content operations.

What an 80% effort reduction looks like in practice

According to Forrester’s Total Economic Impact™ report, enterprise teams using Papirfly experienced:

  • 80% less manual effort in content creation
  • 200$ average agency spend avoided per asset
  • 100% brand-compliant assets delivered to customers in all content

By combining design templates with Digital Asset Management, financial institutions can streamline production, eliminate unnecessary agency costs, and deliver more content—without compromising brand governance or speed.
