2023: Another Massive Year at ReMake

By Daniel Robey 

CEO and Founder of ReMake

2023 was a huge year for ReMake. 

New faces. Fresh clients. A sh*t-ton of ReMake-powered campaigns. Our biggest feature rollout yet.

When we first launched ReMake we had zero intention of stopping there. There’d be no resting on our laurels - no matter how powerful the solution we’d built. 

Our goal has always been to provide the best versioning solution there is. Nothing’s changed and that journey continued in 2023.

This is what we got up to.

An Even Better Team

At ReMake, we’re the sum of our parts. 

Behind the brand is a team of smart people working tirelessly to innovate our platform, look after our clients and grow ReMake’s reach.

This year we welcomed several strategic hires to the ReMake fold. Including the appointment of our brilliant new MD, Julia Burton Brown, who will be leading our business towards even bigger and better things.

Julia brings notable experience in brand, publishing, agency and tech to ReMake and her impact has already been significant - felt both by us and our clients. I really couldn’t be more excited to watch her drive our ambitions forward in the New Year. 

You can find a recent interview with Julia here. It’s an inspiring read.

Features. Features. Features

Giant strides were made in the evolution of our platform over the last 12 months - all driven by a set of game-changing new features.

InDesign Ready

We rolled out InDesign compatibility to all our clients in 2023. It’s a feature we’re really proud of. 

We now boast complete compatibility with three of Adobe’s most-used and industry standard softwares; After Effects, InDesign and Photoshop. In fact, we’re the only creative automation platform in the world to offer it. Yes, the entire planet.

ReMake’s template-less model removes a significant barrier to entry and unlocks unrivalled cost and time benefits. It’s a big reason why we believe we’re the best creative versioning solution out there. No really, we are - that’s what our clients tell us, anyway.

Look out for a ReMake-powered OOH campaign feature, coming very soon.

10X Render speed 

2023 was the year ReMake got even faster. I know, it was possible.

We 10X’d the pace of versioning with our new render farm. Now clients can render 7K+ assets in an hour. 

That’s a global campaign’s worth of versioning - all rendered in the time it takes you to grab your shopping. 

Think of the other stuff you could do with all that time back. Whether it’s hitting the beach or using the time to get creative - well, that’s up to you.

Monotype

We announced our partnership with Monotype - providing ReMake users with access to over 38,000+ licensed fonts. 

Font licensing is critical in high-volume international campaigns and ReMake users can now trust that the platform - and more importantly, their content - is EULA-aligned.

Simple creative testing and deployment (with zero headaches) unlocked. 

DeepZen

We took the next step along our AI roadmap by partnering with AI voice synthesis specialists, DeepZen - welcoming seriously impressive voiceover features to the ReMake platform. The hyper-realistic results are so good, that we’ve seen many clients use the feature to power final and approved content.

Huge VO cost savings, even more time back.

Review and Approve

We put a pin in complicated feedback loops and email threads. 

Our Review and Approve feature provides in-app team collaboration - allowing clients to leave feedback and time-stamped commentary. 

Super clear. All changes made without confusion. A gigantic relief.

API

We rolled out our public API for frictionless tech stack integration. 

ReMake is a power-up. A tool to replace the processes that aren’t working - not the ones that are. It’s essential it fits seamlessly into any workflow. Our public API means it does just that. 

Simply plug it in and go.

The Year of Automation

We’ve always said there is a simpler way of doing things. We’ve shown that. And 2023 felt like the year that everyone finally caught on.

AI, automation - it’s more than just a novelty picture featuring your favourite movie IP. This year, we’ve had hundreds of companies take a tour of the platform; an introduction to a pain-free way of versioning and scaling their creative - safely, securely and without the flaws of many of the popular or free tools circulating the internet.

Versioning can be stress-free. It’s been a pleasure to show people.

Bring On 2024…

This year was also about planning for 2024. 

It’s no secret that AI is big on the ReMake agenda - we’ve worked closely with UCL and AWS over the past year to understand and realise ReMake’s AI capabilities - and Generative AI has a prominent place on next year’s roadmap. 

But it’s about doing it right. One of the things we pride ourselves on is the brand guardianship we provide to our clients and that’s never going to change. 

We’re excited to roll out Generative AI features that remove even more of the ‘manual’ from versioning - whilst still and always offering uncompromised and brand-compliant creative at scale. 

But it won’t stop there. 

Auto resizing, more integrations, even more partnerships to bring even more features to the platform - and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. All promise to make 2024 a seriously awesome year. Watch this space.

Finally, a huge thanks to our clients and team who made this year so amazing. Here’s to you - and here’s to the next twelve months.
