Case study · Automation

1,551 photos published in one run.

The Engage! Edit is the editorial arm of a wedding-and-events PR agency, and every event leaves thousands of photos to size, rename, and sort into the right galleries. That was a full day of somebody uploading images by hand. I built a publishing pipeline instead: drop in the raw event folder and it resizes, renames, and files every image into the right website gallery on its own. The first production run moved 1,551 photos into 9 galleries, unattended.

A full day of uploading, now unattended

The bottleneck was never the photography. It was the hours after, turning a card full of raw images into a clean, correctly-sized, correctly-named gallery on the site. The pipeline does that part while nobody watches.

What are you still doing by hand?

If a chunk of your week is repetitive file-work, it can probably run itself. Start with a free audit, or read how I build automations.
