The Challenge

A fast-growing 32-person agency with a reputation problem: strong creative work, chaotic operations. Account managers spent 30-40% of their time on reporting, budgets, and coordination instead of client strategy — and it was costing them clients.

The Friday Report Crisis

24 client reports due Monday, compiled from Asana, Harvest, HubSpot, GA4 — 15% late, 3 clients cited poor reporting in exit interviews.

Budget Blindness

Real-time profitability unknown, 4 of 24 accounts consistently unprofitable — discovered too late.

Pitch Deck Bottleneck

2-3 days per pitch prep, agency could only respond to 2 RFPs per month.

Knowledge Fragmentation

Campaign learnings in Slack threads and heads, backup staff had zero context.

The Solution

AI orchestration purpose-built for agency operations — account managers request reports, budget checks, competitor analysis, and pitch decks via email or WhatsApp.

Client Report Agent

Auto-generates weekly reports from Asana, Harvest, HubSpot, and GA4 with AI-written insights, delivered as branded PDFs every Monday 7am.

Budget Sentinel Agent

Real-time project profitability with hourly Harvest updates, Slack alerts at 80% budget threshold, firm-wide P&L dashboard.

Pitch Accelerator Agent

Generates competitive intelligence, selects case studies, drafts pricing, creates branded decks — cutting prep from 2-3 days to 4 hours.

Campaign Knowledge Agent

RAG-powered institutional memory indexing all briefs, performance data, and strategy documents.

Agency Operations Time Savings Before vs After
