Paypal Digital Marketing Creative Template Library

  • Developed and maintained an internal agency file with templates for all assets created for PayPal.

  • Each asset page contains specs, notes, export guidelines, character counts/limits, safe zones, in-situ comps, and creative examples.

  • Addressed gaps in inconsistent specs, outdated information, and missing details in briefs.

  • Established master components for a single source of truth, enabling simultaneous updates across all files.

  • Created a dummy-proof auto-layout system to ensure all assets remain on brand and follow guidelines.

Even though we created this for our Monks team, because PP found it so helpful they asked us to move the file internally so all their agency partners could benefit.
