Why Creatives Love Miro Flows (and What’s Unique)

Traditional whiteboards stop at ideas. Flows exist on the same canvas as your research, wireframes, and copy—ensuring context, prompts, and outputs move together. Marketing teams gain clarity (repeatable actions), speed (reduced manual work), and consistency (brand guidelines built into the Flow).

How Miro Flows Work

• On-canvas Workflows. Create a sequence of actions such as create brief → draft → review → approve → publish and execute it directly.

• Multi-step with AI. Integrate AI actions to summarize, generate, or transform content at each stage.

• Connect Your Tools. Sync outputs with work trackers or communication tools (e.g., create Asana tasks, post to Slack, attach links to Notion).

• Built-in Governance. Set approvers, SLAs, and logs to ensure nothing gets missed.

Creative Workflow Playbooks

1) Campaign Brief → First Draft

Trigger: Marketer initiates Create Campaign Brief Flow.
Steps: Capture goals/audience/CTA/budget; generate Notion brief; open Asana project; create Figma page with frames; draft headline/subhead/body variants; assign ownership and deadlines.
Guardrails: Brand voice, prohibited phrases, required legal disclaimers.
Output: Link to brief, tasks, draft v0.1, status panel on the board.

2) Review → Approval

Trigger: Designer updates status to Ready for review.
Steps: Summarize changes; use checklist (tone, grammar, accessibility); forward to approver; send reminder after 24 hours; if rejected, compile feedback and create subtasks.
Output: Decision log, version notes.

3) Asset Variants at Speed (Social Bundle)

Trigger: Generate Variants Flow.
Steps: Duplicate base asset to required sizes; adjust copy within character limits; generate alt-text; schedule posts; submit for approval.
Output: Scheduled post list with links.

4) PR Pack from Draft

Trigger: PR Pack Flow.
Steps: Transform draft into press release, quotes, FAQs, image captions; create newsroom page in Notion; build an outreach tracker.
Output: Newsroom link + asset archive.

Starter Kit (Templates)

• Brief Template (Notion): Purpose, audience, value props, deliverables, deadlines, success metrics.

• Design Checklist: Brand colours, spacing, typography, contrast, export presets.

• Copy Checklist: Voice/tone, localization, claims & sources, reading level.

• Approval Matrix: Designate signatories based on spend/risk; SLAs for reviews.

• Release Notes: Version, changes, approver, rollback.

Implementation Guide (Week-by-Week)

Week 1: Map & Decide. Select 1–2 campaign types. Visualize your current path on a Miro board; identify delays and handoffs.
Week 2: Build v0. Develop the Flow on the board with necessary inputs, outputs, and guardrails; integrate with Asana and Notion.
Week 3: Pilot. Test with 3–5 real briefs; evaluate time to first draft and review turnaround.
Week 4: Hardening. Incorporate accessibility checks, approval SLAs, logging, and an emergency override option.
Week 5: Scale. Convert the Flow into a team template; train stakeholders; publish an internal guide.

Metrics That Matter

• Time to First Draft (brief → v0.1)

• Review Turnaround (submit → approved)

• Revision Count per Asset

• On-brand Score (checklist adherence rate)

• Hit Rate vs. Deadline

• Cost per Approved Asset (resources/tools/time)

• Accessibility Completeness (alt-text, captions, contrast assessments)
