Spend less of your creative time getting somewhere obvious. Spend more of it deciding what's actually good.

How the work develops

Most AI is built to hand you an output. Heista makes the exploration itself visible. Territories, ideas and executions take shape while you are still thinking, so you can see what is worth pursuing before you commit to any of it.

Every client brand

A brain for every client.

Each brand you run holds its own products, guidelines, tone, decks and imagery. Switch client and the work comes back specific to them, built on what they actually sell rather than assembled from stock.

Creative exploration

One brief. More ways in.

Open a brief into genuinely different tensions, insights, territories and executions, then put them side by side. The choice gets made on work you can see rather than on which idea was described best in the room.

One brief opened into several distinct creative territories, side by side.

Visual development

See the idea in real time.

The idea, the campaign visuals and the executions appear while you are still talking about them. Nothing else lets you judge the thinking and what it looks like at the same moment.

Campaign directions appearing beside the thinking as an idea is developed.

Whole campaigns

Campaigns, not one-line ideas.

Ask for a brand platform, a campaign, a launch, a stunt or an activation. Each comes back named, with the insight, the idea and the executions already visualised, so there is something to react to on the first pass.

A campaign idea returned whole, with its insight, its idea and out of home executions.

Pitch quality

Explore fast. Finish at full quality.

Explore on the fast image and film models, then re-render whatever earns it on the best ones. Nothing gets rebuilt. The same work steps up to the quality a pitch has to run at.

Your own specialists

Build the specialist. Brief them like one.

Pick a ready-made creative specialist or build your own, each with its own craft, taste and point of view. Someone who only writes TVCs. Someone who writes manifesto scripts. Someone who does nothing but conversion pages. What you build is written up as a craft of its own, so the specialist carries it into every job you give them.

Specialist creative minds, each built around its own craft and point of view.

Boards

Build the pitch as the idea develops.

Bring directions, copy, documents, images, films and storyboards onto one shared canvas. Take feedback in place, and present the work without rebuilding it in another tool the night before.

Campaign production

From concepting to entire campaign shoots.

Cast the talent, style the wardrobe, set the look and place the camera. Then shoot the frames, and keep them consistent from the first scamp to the finished campaign.

One concept explored as several distinct visual treatments, side by side.

Still to film

Turn any visual you make into film.

Anything you have made in the workspace can become the start frame for a shot. The still you art directed this morning is moving by the afternoon, without exporting it to another tool first. Pitch film, reference film for the production company, or the finished ad at the quality it has to run at.

Every model, at cost

The latest models. At cost. No markup.

The newest text, image and film models land here as they ship, with the cost of the render on the row before you commit to it. Pick the one that suits the job, switch part way through, or re-render something you already have on a different one. What Heista pays, you pay, and there are no credit packs that expire before you get to spend them.

Creative assets

Nothing lives in a downloads folder.

Ideas, directions, boards, images, films and documents all land in one place, tagged to the client and the project they belong to. Search the lot by brand, by project, by date or by whoever on your team made it, and send any still straight to motion.

Every asset filed by brand, project, date and the person who made it.

Not another tab.

Your agency. Your branding. Your creative workspace.

Brand it and run your creative operation from it.

Frequently asked questions

What agency teams ask before they move their creative development into one place.

Talk to us
What is Heista for a creative agency?
Heista is a creative development workspace for creative agencies. It covers ideation, art direction, campaign development, copy, image and film in one place, with a separate brand brain for every client the agency runs, so the work comes back specific to that client rather than generic. Agencies use it to explore more directions per brief, develop the strongest ones into presentable work, and build the pitch in the same place the thinking happened.
Can we run it under our own agency brand?
Yes. The whole workspace runs on your own domain, branded as your agency, for your team and any clients you choose to let in. Clients see your studio rather than a login to a third-party product.
How does it handle several client brands at once?
Every client has its own brand brain holding its products, guidelines, tone, decks and imagery. Switching client switches the whole context, so nobody has to describe the brand again in a prompt, and work made for one client never bleeds into another.
Does it replace our creative team?
No. It removes the part of creative work that is getting somewhere obvious, so the team spends its time deciding what is actually good. The judgement, the taste and the point of view stay with the people. Agencies use it to explore more options in the same hours, not to employ fewer people.
What kind of work can it produce?
Creative territories and campaign ideas, art direction and key visuals, out-of-home and campaign executions, copy and scripts, and film, from pitch and reference film through to finished ads. Work can be explored quickly on fast models and re-rendered at full quality once it earns it.
What does it cost to run for an agency?
There is no subscription required to start, and AI generation is billed at cost: what Heista pays for a render is what you pay, with no markup and no credit packs that expire. Book a demo for how that works across a roster of clients.
