Case Study: Exploding Kittens achieves faster turnaround and doubles creative output with Wrike

How Wrike Helps Exploding Kittens Create the Ultimate Fan Experience

Exploding Kittens, a Los Angeles–based toy and game studio known for its hand-drawn aesthetic and out-of-the-box products, was overwhelmed by incoming design requests and lacked a standard process for submitting and approving work. Creative teams and external artists were bogged down by ad-hoc feedback, poor tool engagement, and slow turnarounds, making it hard to focus on the art that drives their fan experience.

By adopting Wrike, Exploding Kittens centralized requests, used proofing and approvals to consolidate feedback, and integrated with Adobe via an extension and customizable dashboards. The result: streamlined collaboration, faster turnaround (designs often delivered within a day), the ability to take on twice as many requests, and a clearer, more creative workflow that helped the team launch products end-to-end.
