Where Craft Meets Strategy

Narayanan Ramesh

My story begins at the design table, not the boardroom. I spent years as a graphic designer and creative director, understanding creative craft from the inside out, from concept and art direction through to final production. That foundation shapes everything I do as a leader today: I don't just manage creative production, I understand it at a molecular level.

"The best creative operations leaders are those who've held the brush before they held the blueprint."

Over two decades, I've progressed from hands-on design and creative direction through service delivery, account leadership, marketing communications, print and digital production, and imaging operations, building and scaling production teams from the ground up. Having led creative vision across branding, advertising, and multi-channel campaigns gives me a rare ability to bridge the gap between creative quality and operational scale. At We Are Amnet, as Deputy General Manager, I lead a 75+ member global creative production team delivering across print, digital, HTML5, imaging, and presentations for Fortune 500 brands.

What sets my approach apart is the intersection of creative instinct, technological foresight, and tech product thinking. I'm now deeply focused on integrating AI and automation into creative production workflows, and contributing to building internal tech products that streamline operations, not to replace human creativity, but to amplify it.

How I Lead

Leadership in creative production isn't about control,it's about creating the conditions where great work becomes inevitable.

Process Is the Product

I design workflows that enable creativity rather than constrain it. From QC automation to SLA monitoring systems, every process I build serves one goal: giving creative talent more room to do what they do best.

Scale Through Systems

Scaling a team from 25 to 75+ taught me that growth isn't about adding headcount,it's about building scalable systems, leadership pipelines, and operational frameworks that grow with you.

Data Meets Instinct

As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I ground decisions in data. But I also trust the creative instinct that comes from 20+ years of hands-on production experience. The best decisions live at that intersection.

Technology Amplifies Talent

AI and automation aren't threats to creative work,they're multipliers. I deploy technology to eliminate repetitive tasks, freeing human talent for the work that truly requires imagination and judgment.

Product Thinking in Operations

Contributed extensively to developing Joule, our in-house workflow platform covering the full production lifecycle from job booking to final delivery. Bringing product management thinking to creative operations means building tools that teams actually want to use.

Building the Future of Creative Production

Hands-on AI integration projects I've designed and deployed across global creative operations.

Custom AI

Brand Playbook GPTs & Interactive Knowledge Hubs

Created custom GPT models trained on brand guidelines, enabling production, QC, and project management teams to get instant, accurate brand and process guidance. Also transformed existing client playbook PPTs into interactive HTML-based knowledge hubs with easy search, content editing, section updates, and user session tracking for Operations Managers. Adopted as a scalable template across client accounts.

Automation

HTML Production via AI

Pioneered HTML asset automation using Vercel V0 and Claude AI, transforming how the team produces digital assets with dramatic efficiency improvements.

Process Intelligence

SLA Monitoring System

Built custom Google App Script solutions to monitor communication SLAs in real-time. Started with critical accounts, now deployed across all operations,a self-built operational intelligence layer.

AI Strategy

Joule & Adobe Workfront Integration Analysis

Delivered a comprehensive analysis on integrating Joule AI capabilities with Adobe Workfront project management workflows for enterprise clients, driving up to 60% efficiency by minimizing duplicate data entry between client platforms and our in-house Joule platform. Critical fields were mapped to enable Joule to automatically pull key project data from Adobe Workfront, streamlining workflow accuracy, speed, and operational efficiency.

Digital Infrastructure

DAM Architecture Design

Designed the complete Digital Asset Management architecture for the creative production division,a foundational blueprint for how creative assets are stored, managed, and deployed at scale.

Quality Automation

Automated QC & Preflight Systems

Deployed automated preflight checks via InDesign scripting, version comparison automation through GlobalVision, and digital proofing workflows,reducing manual QC time while improving accuracy.
