The design system

How does a design system power AI campaign production?

A Ricochet design system is more than a style guide. It captures your brand story and the proof points for each member segment in a form AI can follow. From the system, AI builds the plan, the copy and design elements, and the production in every format.

Formats

What collateral formats can you produce?

Every format comes from the same design system, so a campaign looks and sounds the same everywhere members see it.

Questions

What associations ask about brand and campaigns

What is a design system?

The rulebook for how your association looks and sounds: colors, type, layouts, components and voice. A traditional brand guide is written for people. An AI-ready design system is written so AI can follow it too, and every asset follows it.

How does AI fit into creative production?

The design system becomes the rulebook AI follows, so new assets come out on brand in hours instead of weeks. A person reviews every asset before launch.

Does it work with the AI our staff already use?

Yes. The design system is a set of plain-text files, so it works with the AI tools your staff already use. Add it to a Project in Claude or ChatGPT, a custom GPT, a Copilot agent, a Gemini Gem or a Grok Project. Drafts then start on brand, and a person reviews every asset before it launches.

How is a brand story different from a value proposition?

The value proposition is what members get and why it matters. The brand story is how you tell it, in words and images members recognize.

Do you write the copy too?

Yes. The design system includes your voice and messaging playbooks, so AI drafts copy in your voice and a person edits it before launch.

How do associations reach members beyond email?

Through the channels members already use: social posts and carousels, text messages, short videos, landing pages, online ads, ringless voicemail and print. What matters is one design system behind all of them, so a campaign looks and sounds the same everywhere. Ricochet produces every format from that system and builds the campaigns in HubSpot or Mailchimp.

Can you produce campaigns in our existing tools?

Yes. We build campaigns in HubSpot and Mailchimp, and produce assets for the other channels you already use.
