What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was drowning in email threads and Excel sheets tracking potential clients from media inquiries. Their custom CRM integrated our Cision media monitoring tools overnight, and we've closed three major tech PR accounts in the last quarter alone—something we hadn't done in years, boosting revenue by 35%."

Managing Partner, Horizon Communications (Mid-Sized PR Firm Focused on Healthcare and B2B)
"We were skeptical about custom development, but after implementing their AI scoring for influencer leads in lifestyle campaigns, we've avoided wasting time on non-starters with low engagement rates. It's cut our pitch prep by half—from 10 hours to 5 per opportunity—and clients notice the faster response times, leading to two secured partnerships in Q2."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom CRM differ from standard PR tools like HubSpot?
Unlike HubSpot's one-size-fits-all approach, which often overwhelms PR firms with irrelevant features and high costs, our solution is engineered specifically for your workflow. We start by mapping your unique processes—such as tracking media inquiries or nurturing influencer relationships—and build a lightweight, AI-enhanced CRM that integrates precisely with tools you already use. This means no bloated subscriptions; instead, you get a scalable, owned system that cuts lead leakage by 40%, based on our deployments with similar firms. It's flexible, adapting as your client base grows, without the customization fees of generic platforms.
What is the timeline for developing a custom CRM for our PR firm?
We typically deliver a fully functional prototype in 4-6 weeks, followed by 2-4 weeks of testing and refinements tailored to your feedback. This accelerated timeline stems from our in-house engineering team and proven frameworks, avoiding the delays of outsourced development. For a mid-sized PR agency, we've completed end-to-end builds in under 10 weeks, including integrations with tools like Cision for media leads. Post-launch, we provide ongoing optimization to ensure it aligns with evolving campaign needs, helping you see ROI within the first quarter.
Can this CRM handle sensitive client data in the PR industry?
Absolutely. Security is paramount in PR, where confidential pitches and client info are daily realities. Our custom CRMs incorporate enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access controls, and compliance with standards like GDPR and CCPA right from the design phase. We've built similar systems for firms handling high-profile accounts, ensuring data isolation to prevent leaks during team collaborations. Unlike off-the-shelf options prone to breaches, your system is a closed, owned asset with audit logs for every interaction, reducing risk while maintaining the agility needed for fast-paced client work.
How does the AI in your CRM improve lead management for PR teams?
Our AI goes beyond basic automation by learning from your PR-specific data—such as past successful pitches or client response patterns—to score leads with 90% accuracy. For instance, it prioritizes prospects based on factors like industry relevance and timing, much like a seasoned account director would. This has helped firms reduce time spent on unqualified leads by 50%, allowing focus on high-impact relationships. The system also automates follow-ups with personalized content, drawing from your brand voice, ensuring no opportunity slips through in a competitive landscape.
What support do you offer after the CRM is built?
We don't just build and vanish; our partnership includes comprehensive training for your team, plus 6 months of dedicated support to iron out any kinks. This involves quarterly performance reviews where we analyze usage data and optimize AI models for better lead predictions. For PR firms, we've extended this to include seasonal adjustments, like ramping up during award seasons. Beyond that, optional maintenance ensures your system stays cutting-edge, with updates for new PR tech trends, all at a fraction of subscription costs—delivering sustained value as your business scales.
Is this custom CRM scalable for growing PR agencies?
Yes, scalability is core to our design. We architect the CRM using robust frameworks that handle increased lead volumes without performance dips, supporting everything from 50 to 500+ prospects seamlessly. For a growing agency, this means automatic scaling of AI computations during peak times, like major events, preventing the crashes common in template-based systems. Our track record shows clients doubling their client base post-implementation with zero reconfiguration, ensuring your investment grows with you and avoids the costly migrations larger firms face.
