RECRAFT

Maximising Its Series A To Promote AI-powered Design

The challenge

Recraft is the first generative AI design tool that lets users create and edit digital illustrations, art, and 3D graphics in a uniform brand style.

As it approached its Series A announcement, the startup wanted to use the moment to raise awareness of its advanced AI design capabilities and show how the funding would support the development of its own foundation model.

The approach

The Flywheelers worked with Recraft to develop messaging that repositioned the company away from consumer-focused AI design tools, while highlighting how the new Series A funding would enable further improvements in design quality, supporting professional use cases.

The team identified the key media segments to build Recraft’s credibility with design professionals and global VCs, then pitched the news under embargo to tier-one targets to secure interviews and maximise on-the-date coverage.

The impact

The Flywheelers secured interviews and written Q&As with TechCrunch, Business Insider, CreativeBloq, The Next Web, TechBlast and Maddyness ahead of launch.

The Flywheelers secured 36 pieces of coverage for the Series A announcement, including stand-out coverage in TechCrunch, The Next Web, Business Insider, The Times, Venture Beat and Tech.eu, as well as inclusion in the Sifted and Fortune newsletters.

With The Flywheelers, we’ve been able to elevate the use of the extensive earned media data and insights to create stories that tap into the biggest luxury, fashion, and consumer trends. The Subscription Model has also been invaluable in allowing us to quickly and transparently swap activity out to focus on our immediate priorities.
