2. HOW WAS
CEREBRO
BROUGHT
TO LIFE?

collaboration?
Designers always ignore
emails... Accounts have
no idea how to open a
media file... Talks with a
client often look like a
Chinese whispers
game...

4. We got it! Advertising and media produc-
tion workflow – is, mostly, a communica-
tion process between creators and admin-
istrators.
Same goals - different approaches, different
tools and different languages.
We got an idea to make an integrated
toolkit to make creators and administra-
tors always be “on the same page”, using
common tools, handy and easy!

5. We created Cerebro, mostly, for ourselves.
But today it works for the most part
of media production in Russia.
