Kinema for pitches
An agency review swallows an entire business quarter[1] The winner now walks in with the finished film

The tender asks for a proposal. Send the premiere.

Walk in with the film.

Successful agencies use Kinema to turn an RFP into a finished episode in the client’s own brand world: built from their public materials, delivered in one to two working days, and impossible to follow with a moodboard.

17% of annual agency revenue goes into chasing new business[1]

How pitches are won now

Successful agencies use Kinema to change what a pitch is: not a promise of work, but the work. While the room before you presents a treatment, you press play: an episode in the client’s brand, answering their brief, produced in days. The conversation stops being “can they do it” and becomes “when do we start.”

01 400h of unpaid time before a pitch pays back, and agencies win fewer than half[4]

Pitching burns up to 17% of your revenue. Mostly unpaid.[1]

The economics of new business are brutal and documented: an average pitch costs an agency $204,000,[2] a full review runs to a million dollars and swallows an entire business quarter,[3] and agencies win less than half of them. Roughly 400 unpaid hours before a pitch pays back.[4]

The spec-work arms race rewards whoever can burn the most weekends. Kinema breaks the race instead of running it faster: the deliverable that used to take a creative team a month of nights (a produced, on-brand film) now takes one to two working days of direction. Same room, different economics.

From a month of spec work to two days of direction. Retire the all-nighter
A product you never held.

You don’t have their brand book. You don’t need it.

Successful agencies use Kinema to build the prospect’s brand world before the first meeting, from what’s already public: the website, the campaigns, the social feeds, the annual report. Kinema studies it the way a strategist would (palette, typography, environments, tone of voice) and locks it into a world.

Then you direct the episode inside it: their product, their audience, their story, answering the actual brief. The industry’s own leadership says agencies will increasingly lead with prototypes: showing clients what’s possible, then helping them build it.[5] A finished episode in their world is the strongest prototype a pitch room has ever seen.

Their world, reconstructed from public materials, before the first meeting. Build their world first
02 1–2days to rebuild the prospect’s world from public materials and direct the episode inside it
03 37pts the perception gap between ad executives and audiences on AI ads[7]

They will ask about AI. Press play.

Every prospect now asks how agencies use AI with their brand. 80% of multinational clients worry about exactly that.[6] And they know the perception gap from their own data: ad executives think audiences love AI ads far more than audiences do.[7]

So don’t pitch “we use AI.” Pitch the direction: show the screenplay, the locked brand world, the scene-by-scene control, and then the episode that doesn’t scan as AI, because it was directed, not generated. The demo answers the question before it’s asked: this is what craft at AI economics looks like.

Directed, not generated, and the room can see the difference. Show the direction
The brand is the plot.
One brief. Sixteen variants.

Win, and the campaign already exists.

The cruellest part of the old pitch was that even a win threw the work away: the treatment went in a drawer and production started from zero. In Kinema, the pitch is the first draft of production: the campaign already exists as a screenplay.

Successful agencies use Kinema to walk out of a won pitch and straight into delivery: regenerating scenes from client feedback, extending the episode into a series, spinning variants for every channel. And the pitches you lose stop costing six figures. They cost two days, and the brand world stays on the shelf for next time. When the won account is ready for the premium offering, a branded series their audience binges, that has a page of its own.
