What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our team spent Fridays just hunting for old media lists and pitch histories—frustrating during embargoed tech launches. Now, with their custom knowledge base, we pull up vetted contacts and past placement data in under a minute. We've landed two major SaaS clients this quarter because we could reference our exact past successes instantly, boosting our win rate by 25%. It's like having a senior strategist in every client pitch meeting."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Account Director, Horizon PR Group (a mid-sized firm specializing in tech PR)
"Onboarding new account executives used to take weeks, sifting through disorganized drives for historical case studies and RFP responses. After implementing AIQ's system six months ago, it's down to two days. The AI even flags relevant crisis comms examples from our archive, including regulatory filings. Saved us thousands in training time—about $15K last year—and our retention's up 20% because everyone's productive from day one on live accounts."
Michael Torres
Operations Lead, Vanguard Communications (a boutique agency focused on financial services PR)
"We were drowning in email threads for client reporting on media coverage and ROI metrics. AIQ built us a knowledge base that auto-categorizes everything by campaign, outcome, and sector vertical. Last month, we delivered a quarterly report in half the time—four hours instead of eight—and the client praised the depth of our earned media analysis. ROI was immediate—freed up 10 hours a week for new business pitches, leading to a $100K retainer renewal."

Managing Partner, Apex Media Strategies (a full-service PR firm serving healthcare and consumer brands)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this differ from standard knowledge management tools like Confluence?
Unlike generic platforms that require manual organization, our custom solution uses AI to automatically ingest and structure your PR-specific data—think auto-tagging journalist preferences or surfacing crisis response templates from past events. We build it to integrate natively with your workflow, eliminating the need for constant upkeep. For a mid-sized PR firm, this means 15 hours saved weekly on research, with full ownership so you're not tied to vendor updates. We've seen ROI kick in within the first month, far surpassing templated tools that often lead to underutilization due to poor fit.
What data sources can be integrated into the knowledge base?
We pull from wherever your PR intel lives: email archives for client threads, CRM exports from tools like Salesforce or Cision, shared drives with campaign files, even Slack channels for quick notes. Our AI cleans and enriches it, creating a single source without disrupting your day. For instance, media lists update dynamically from outreach logs. This holistic approach addresses the fragmentation common in PR, where info scatters across 5+ apps. Post-integration, queries like 'top journalists for fintech' yield ranked results with success probabilities, boosting pitch efficiency by 40% based on our deployments.
How secure is the system for handling confidential client information?
Security is paramount in PR, where leaks can damage reputations. We architect with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based permissions, and audit logs to track access—fully compliant with GDPR and client NDA standards. Data stays on your owned infrastructure, not third-party clouds prone to breaches. In one project for a boutique agency, we implemented granular controls so only account leads see sensitive briefs. Regular vulnerability scans and our in-house expertise from regulated AI builds ensure peace of mind, letting your team focus on strategy without compliance worries.
What's the timeline for building and launching the knowledge base?
From initial consultation to go-live, expect 6-8 weeks for a tailored PR setup—faster than generic implementations that drag on. Week 1-2: Deep dive into your workflows. Weeks 3-5: Custom coding and testing integrations. Final weeks: Training and iterative tweaks. We prioritize quick wins, like basic search in week 4, to show value early. A recent PR firm client was pitching with partial AI insights by month-end, reclaiming 10 hours immediately. Scalability means it evolves without full rebuilds as your client base grows.
Can the system scale as our PR firm expands to more clients?
Absolutely—designed for growth, our knowledge base handles volume spikes, like during awards season, without performance dips. AI models adapt to new data patterns, such as emerging media trends, maintaining accuracy. For a firm doubling clients yearly, we built in modular architecture for easy expansion, adding features like multi-agency collaboration. Benchmarks show 99.9% uptime and sub-second queries even at 10,000+ documents. Ownership means no usage caps or escalating fees, positioning it as a core asset that supports your trajectory from boutique to full-service powerhouse.
How do we measure ROI after implementation?
We embed tracking from day one: metrics like time saved on knowledge retrieval (target: 15-20 hours/week), pitch conversion rates (up 25% via better insights), and reduced errors in reporting. Custom dashboards visualize these, tying directly to billable hours and client satisfaction scores. In a 2023 rollout for a PR agency, they quantified $75K annual savings from efficiency alone, plus qualitative wins like faster onboarding. We provide quarterly reviews to refine and prove ongoing value, ensuring your investment delivers sustained returns in a competitive landscape.
