The SLD Lab · On-demand creative desk

You bring
the idea.
We build the thing.

Images, short videos, voice overs, avatars and strange requests without another subscription, another platform or another piece of software you need to pretend you understand.

001What The Lab is

Not every idea needs
a campaign team.

Sometimes you need one image, one clip, one voice over or one weird visual experiment and you need it without turning the request into a three week procurement event.

The Lab gives smaller creative requests access to the same thinking and production engine behind StoryLabDigital, scaled to suit the work.

002What comes out

Real outputs.
No stock excuses.

003How it works

Four steps.

The request stays simple, the scope stays clear and nobody needs a twelve-slide status deck.

Quoted per request

Custom Lab request

A half formed prompt, strange visual thought or idea that does not fit neatly into a category.

Starting prices are indicative only. Final pricing depends on complexity, duration, source material, licensing, delivery format and the number of required outputs.

005Where the line sits

Small request?
The Lab.
Bigger opportunity?
StoryLabDigital.

The Lab is a good fit when

The request is small, focused or experimental.

You need a fast creative output rather than a full campaign.

You know roughly what you need but not how to produce it.

You want to test an idea before investing in something larger.

StoryLabDigital takes over when

The project requires strategy, scripting or creative direction.

There are multiple deliverables, stakeholders or approval rounds.

The work forms part of a campaign, series or larger platform.

The idea needs more than a quick production workflow.

Good to know

One revision is included. A bottomless pit of “one more change” is not.

006Send the idea

Messy is fine.
Boring is optional.

Tell us what you are thinking even when the thought is still held together by screenshots, voice notes and unreasonable optimism.

Requests are reviewed before production begins.

Estimates are normally sent within 24 business hours.
