What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under endless email chains trying to schedule executive interviews— we lost a major SaaS client pitch to TechCrunch because of a simple calendar overlap during a product embargo. Their custom booking system integrated seamlessly with our HubSpot CRM in under 48 hours, and now we handle 40% more media queries from venture-backed startups without extra staff. It's like having an extra media coordinator who never sleeps."

Sarah Jenkins

Account Director, Horizon PR Agency (specializing in tech sector communications)

"Generic tools couldn't keep up with our crisis comms schedule during product launches; we'd have double bookings with journalists on tight deadlines. AIQ built us a system that flags conflicts based on our campaign timelines and executive availability, and in the last quarter alone, we avoided three potential disasters with Fortune 500 clients. Revenue from earned media placements is up 22%, and the team actually has time for strategic brainstorming now."

Michael Torres

Senior Crisis Strategist, Pulse Communications (focused on corporate reputation management)

"We were using three different apps for bookings, and it was a nightmare syncing with client calendars across APAC and EMEA time zones for global pitches. After implementing their AI solution, setup took just two weeks with minimal disruption, and no-shows for international media briefings dropped from 15% to under 3%. It's transformed how we manage pitches for multinational clients—highly recommend for any growing PR shop handling cross-border campaigns."

Common Questions

How does this differ from standard booking software like Calendly for PR firms?

Unlike Calendly's one-size-fits-all approach, which often clashes with PR's dynamic needs like urgent press embargo lifts, our custom AI solution is built specifically for your workflow. We integrate deeply with PR tools such as Cision for journalist data and your CRM for client histories, using machine learning to suggest times that align with media cycles. This results in 40% fewer conflicts, as it learns from your past schedules. Plus, you own the system outright, avoiding subscription fees that add up for growing firms—think enterprise-grade reliability without the enterprise price tag. Implementation typically takes 4-6 weeks, with full customization to handle international time zones and team handoffs seamlessly.

Can the system handle confidential client information securely?

Absolutely, security is paramount in PR where client secrets drive campaigns. We architect the booking system with end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and compliance with standards like GDPR and CCPA, which 85% of PR firms must navigate per industry reports. Data is stored in your owned infrastructure, not a third-party cloud, minimizing breach risks. For instance, sensitive pitch details are masked until verified users access them. Our team conducts penetration testing pre-launch, and we've helped firms avoid fines by embedding audit logs for every booking action. This tailored security layer ensures your reputation stays intact, even during high-stakes crisis management schedules.

What if our PR team needs to scale during peak seasons like awards time?

Our solutions are designed for scalability, handling surges from 50 to 500 daily bookings without hiccups—unlike off-the-shelf tools that throttle under load. Using advanced frameworks, we build in auto-scaling capabilities that ramp up based on your firm's event calendars, such as during Cannes or Emmys prep. In one case, a client firm saw a 300% booking spike; our system adapted seamlessly, reducing manual oversight by 60%. We include performance monitoring in the dashboard, so you can forecast capacity and adjust permissions for temp staff. Post-launch, we offer optimization sessions to fine-tune for your growth, ensuring it evolves as you add accounts without costly rebuilds.

How quickly can we get this up and running for our PR operations?

From initial consultation to live deployment, expect 4-8 weeks, depending on your current tech stack's complexity. We start with a rapid audit of your workflows—identifying how bookings tie into client pitches and media tracking—then prototype core features like AI time suggestions within two weeks. Integration with tools like Google Workspace or Microsoft Teams happens in parallel to minimize downtime. For a mid-sized PR firm, we've achieved go-live in under a month by prioritizing high-impact elements first, such as automated reminders. Ongoing support includes a 30-day tuning period to iron out any nuances, so your team hits the ground running without disrupting active campaigns.

Will this integrate with our existing PR and client management tools?

Yes, we specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations that create a unified ecosystem. For PR firms, this means syncing seamlessly with platforms like Muck Rack for contact enrichment, Salesforce for client pipelines, or Asana for campaign tracking—eliminating the data silos that cause 62% of scheduling errors per Forrester. Our AI maps these connections custom-built to your needs, automating updates like flagging booked slots in project timelines. We've integrated with over 20 PR-specific tools, ensuring zero data loss during syncs. The result? A single source of truth where a booked interview auto-updates your client's status, saving hours of manual reconciliation and boosting overall efficiency.

What kind of support do you provide after implementation?

Post-launch, we don't just walk away—we partner for the long haul with tiered support tailored to PR's fast pace. This includes 24/7 monitoring for uptime (99.9% guaranteed), a dedicated Slack channel for quick queries, and monthly performance reviews to optimize based on your booking metrics. For example, if no-shows rise during a busy quarter, our team analyzes patterns and refines the AI prompts. We also train your staff via hands-on sessions, covering everything from custom reporting to troubleshooting integrations. Over 90% of our clients renew support annually, citing how it keeps their systems ahead of evolving client demands without in-house AI expertise.
