The creative team behind the creative team
Stibo Systems is a global business, so it’s safe to say there’s always something that requires attention.
Whether it’s campaigns, asset requests, or impromptu deadlines, when an internal team is under pressure to support global and regional marketing at pace, things can get stretched pretty quickly.
It’s at this point where the right creative support makes all the difference.
The challenge:
It wasn’t as simple as just “being an agency.”
Stibo Systems needed a creative partner with the experience, skills, and tenacity to operate as an extension of the business, supporting multiple marketing teams without slowing things down.
Here’s what the internal team were facing:
- High demand for creative support across the business
- Limited internal capacity and specialist skillsets
- Tight deadlines and fast-moving campaign requirements
- Fragmented creative support across different regions and suppliers
That meant too much work, not enough hours, and too many moving parts.
The brief:
The ask was simple: help the Stibo Systems team scale creative support without creating more complexity.
Simple in theory, but slightly harder to pull off in practice.
What they needed was:
- Flexible day-to-day creative support
- Animation, digital and design expertise under one roof
- Faster turnaround across campaigns and requests
- Consistency across assets and regions
- A smoother experience for teams needing support globally
To put it another way, they needed an end-to-end creative team that they didn’t have time to build internally.
The Pistachio approach:
This wasn’t a “big reveal” type of project. It was something arguably more useful: ongoing support that keeps the wheels turning properly.
We partnered closely with the Stibo Systems Brand Director and wider teams to provide agile creative resource across the business, helping manage campaign delivery, day-to-day requests, and everything in between.
Here’s how we did it.
- One team, multiple disciplines.
Stibo Systems didn’t need five separate agencies. They needed one partner who could cover creative, digital and animation in a joined-up way. So that’s what we built.
Our multidisciplinary team supported a wide range of campaign and brand activity, helping global and regional marketing teams access the right skills without the usual fragmentation or handovers.
- Fast-paced support that actually keeps pace
Some agencies hear “fast turnaround” and immediately become unavailable.
We took a different approach.
By embedding ourselves into the rhythm of the business, we were able to support quick-turn requests, ongoing campaigns and evolving priorities without making every job feel like a six-week production plan.
- Consistency, without the copy-and-paste feel
One of the biggest challenges for global businesses is consistency. Different regions often end up producing assets in slightly different ways, which slowly chips away at the strength of the brand.
By acting as a central creative hub, we helped Stibo Systems maintain a more cohesive brand presence across asset creation, while still giving teams the flexibility they needed locally.
The result:
What this gave Stibo Systems was something genuinely valuable: breathing room.
Global and regional teams gained access to a dependable, all-in-one creative resource that could deliver quickly, consistently and at the level the brand needed.
As a result, the team gained:
- Improved service support
- Faster turnaround
- Greater consistency
- Streamlined creative support
Most importantly, the internal team had more capacity to focus on the bigger picture, knowing the creative side was properly handled.
Which is kind of the dream, right?
