Design Intelligence

Brand judgement built into the work

Guidelines should not sit in a folder. MAIA uses them while the campaign is being built: ideas, copy, mockups, channels and market checks.

Who the brand is

Behaviour

A children's yogurt, a heritage water brand and a performance drink should not brief the same machine in the same way. Approved work, rejected routes and compliance feedback stay useful.

  • Warmth where children are involved
  • Restraint for heritage brands
  • Real effort for performance claims
What the product is

Category

Food, beauty, OTC, supplements and baby care each have their own traps: claims, visuals, tone and appetite for risk.

  • Beauty: real skin texture
  • OTC: permitted claims only
  • Indulgence: luxury without excess
Where it runs

Market

A market is not just a translation job. It changes the copy, layout, channel plan and review risk.

  • France: health message space
  • Germany: OTC disclaimer space
  • China: no superlatives
  • UK: HFSS shapes channels
Market rules

Rules change the work

They affect what can be said, what needs space, and where the idea should show up.

MarketKey requirement MAIA appliesEffect on the campaign
FranceReserved space for a mandatory health messageLayouts and mockups leave room for the message; copy is adapted

If rules conflict, the safer rule wins.

Seven markets. One brief. Different work.

The local constraints are there before the review starts.

The same idea can be right in one market, risky in another, and wrong for the brand. MAIA keeps that tension visible.
Common questions

Design Intelligence, explained

Design Intelligence is how MAIA turns brand, category and market knowledge into active campaign judgement. It shapes the ideas, copy, mockups, checks and local versions before the work reaches review. Where rules conflict, the safer rule wins.
MAIA applies market rules automatically. France requires reserved space for a mandatory health message, Germany requires OTC disclaimer space, China prohibits superlative language entirely, and the UK has HFSS restrictions that shape channel strategy for less healthy products.
A general AI tool tends to answer the prompt in front of it. MAIA works from campaign context and brand history: approved work, rejected routes, category and market judgement shape the work before it reaches your team.

Bring the category where the details matter.

We will show you how the work changes when brand, category and market rules are active from the start.
