In-House Creative Accelerator

Your in-house design team, faster, sharper and AI-ready in 8 weeks.

A hands-on mentorship program for marketing managers who want their own designers to deliver agency-level packaging and launch materials, without the agency price or the agency wait. I come into your business, work alongside your team on live projects, and leave behind the skills, systems and AI workflows that keep them fast and precise.

Book a call. If your team is a fit, you’ll receive a tailored program proposal afterwards.

18 years

Across agency and corporate in-house teams, from creative concept through to final packaging artwork, approvals and print.

600+ SKUs

Launched across 10+ countries. Now I teach your designers the systems behind that speed and precision.

You hired an in-house team to move faster. So why does everything still take so long?

1. Slow turnaround

Simple packaging updates take weeks and go through endless revision rounds before anyone signs off.

2. Artwork errors

Files reach the printer with mistakes, and you end up being the one who catches them.

3. “Fine” isn’t enough

Launch materials come back looking fine, not great, so you brief an agency anyway and pay twice.

4. Behind on AI

Your team isn’t using the AI tools your competitors already use to create more, faster.

Your designers aren’t the problem. Their system is.

I’ve sat on both sides of the table.

I’m Thay Javarroni, creative director and co-founder of Creative Pop. I’ve worked in agencies, where speed and innovation are how you survive, and in corporate in-house teams, where process, compliance and approvals rule.

Working in both showed me the same pattern again and again. Talented in-house designers fall behind, not for lack of skill, but because they rarely get the time, training or outside perspective to keep up. Most weren’t using the latest AI tools, and slow, unclear processes were holding back packaging artwork and approvals.

When in-house teams adopt the right AI workflows and systems, everything speeds up: final artwork, approvals and internal processes. Their own designers start producing more creative, more precise packaging and launch materials.

That’s what this program gives your team.

What’s included.

Training modules, on-site mentoring and deliverables

1. AI for in-house designers

Generative AI for concepting, mockups, backgrounds and variations, plus automated resizing and adaptations. Your team learns where AI speeds them up and where it doesn’t belong.

2. Design systems that speed people up

Brand libraries, master templates and component thinking for packaging ranges and launch kits, so every new SKU starts 80% done.

3. Precision packaging artwork

Preflight checklists, dieline management, copy and regulatory checks, and print-ready standards. Fewer rounds with the printer, fewer costly reprints.

4. Faster internal approvals

Clear briefing templates, fixed feedback rounds, stakeholder sign-off steps and version control, so artwork approvals stop stalling.

5. Creativity under pressure

Concept routines, rapid ideation and presentation skills, so your designers bring ideas to the table with confidence instead of waiting for direction.

6. Your team playbook & aftercare

Audit report and 90-day roadmap, AI toolkit, template library, artwork checklist, team SOPs, before and after metrics, and 30 days of follow-up support.

Who this is for — and who it isn’t

This is for you if:

✅ You manage an in-house design team of 1–10 designers

✅ Your team handles packaging, product launches or retail marketing materials

✅ You want your designers upskilled and faster, not replaced

✅ You’re open to changing how briefs, artwork and approvals flow

This is not for you if:

❌ You want someone to do the design work for your team (see our Growth Retainer instead)

❌ You’re not willing to change current processes

❌ Your team can’t set aside time each week for training and mentoring

Questions marketing managers ask

Will this disrupt our current projects?

No. We work on your live briefs, so the training happens through real work that still needs to ship.

Do my designers need AI experience?

No. The Week 1 audit shows where each designer is, and the training starts from there.

Is it on-site or online?

Both. I work with your team on-site at key points, with remote sessions and support in between.

Can the program be customised?

Yes. The audit shapes the whole program around your team, your categories and your approval process.

What’s the investment?

It depends on team size and how many on-site days you need. Book a discovery call and you’ll receive a tailored proposal.
