What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our Q4 event season always left us with stacks of unused banners and T-shirts from client giveaways, plus stressed teams pulling all-nighters. Their custom forecast nailed our needs for a major SaaS product launch, saving us $15K in waste and letting us pitch two more enterprise clients that month without resource strain."
Sarah Jenkins
Director of Operations, Horizon Public Relations
"We juggled spreadsheets for inventory across 12 active accounts—total nightmare during peak RFP season. The AI system they built integrates our client briefs, historical campaign data, and predicts swag demands with eerie accuracy. Cut our stockouts from 18% to under 2% in six months, transforming our event activations."
Mike Rivera
Senior Account Manager, Elevate Marketing Communications
"As a boutique firm, one bad forecast could sink us amid volatile retainer cycles. AIQ's solution feels like it reads our agency's pulse, factoring in RFP cycles and client brief patterns we didn't even quantify before. We've won three multi-year retainers this year partly because we're always prepared with on-demand assets."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this forecasting differ from standard inventory software for PR firms?
Standard tools treat all businesses the same, applying retail-style algorithms that miss the nuances of PR—like sudden crisis campaigns or RFP-driven resource spikes. Our custom AI is built around your agency's client pipeline, analyzing factors such as brief acceptance rates, campaign durations, and even external media trends. For instance, it can predict a 25% uptick in digital asset needs during earnings season based on your past client portfolios. This tailored approach has helped firms like yours reduce forecasting errors by 50%, turning reactive scrambling into proactive planning. We start with a deep dive into your workflows to ensure every prediction aligns with your billable realities.
What data sources do you use to build the forecasting model?
We pull from your existing systems without disrupting operations: CRM entries for client details and pipelines, project management logs for timelines, past campaign reports for resource usage patterns, and even email threads for sentiment cues on client demands. No need for manual uploads—our secure integrations handle it. For a mid-sized PR firm, this might include 18 months of data from tools like Salesforce and Basecamp, weighted by seasonality. The result? Forecasts that factor in your unique traits, like heavy reliance on event swag during Q2 conferences. We've seen agencies gain 30% better visibility this way, avoiding the blind spots of generic spreadsheets.
How long does it take to implement and see results?
From initial consultation to live forecasts, it's typically 6-8 weeks for a standard setup, depending on your data complexity. We map your workflows in week one, develop the core model in weeks two through four, then integrate and test in the final stretch. Early wins emerge immediately post-launch: one agency reported a 20% drop in overstocked materials within their first major pitch cycle. Unlike plug-and-play options that require months of tweaking, our custom build minimizes ramp-up because it's designed for your exact processes. Post-go-live, we monitor and refine, ensuring sustained accuracy as your client base evolves.
Is this solution scalable as our firm grows?
Absolutely—our architecture is engineered for expansion, handling everything from 20 to 200 clients without performance dips. As you add accounts or diversify into digital PR, the AI adapts by incorporating new data streams, like social media metrics or influencer contracts. We've scaled solutions for agencies doubling their revenue in two years, maintaining sub-5% error rates even amid growth spurts. Unlike rigid SaaS platforms that charge per user or hit integration walls, ours grows with you affordably, owned outright. This means no surprises when you land that big retainers; the system just gets smarter, supporting your trajectory from boutique to powerhouse.
What about data security for sensitive client information?
Security is non-negotiable in PR, where client confidences are currency. We use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and compliance with standards like GDPR and SOC 2, ensuring forecasts anonymize sensitive details while retaining predictive power. Data stays within your controlled environment—no cloud sharing unless you opt in. For example, client names are masked, but campaign types and scales inform the model. Our track record includes zero breaches across 150+ deployments, giving agencies peace of mind during high-stakes activations. We also provide full audit logs, so you can demonstrate diligence to clients if needed.
Can we customize the forecasts for specific campaign types?
Yes, customization is at the core—we tailor models to your service lines, whether product launches, corporate comms, or influencer campaigns. If your firm specializes in tech PR, the AI weights patent filings and demo needs; for lifestyle, it emphasizes event swag and photo assets. This granularity comes from collaborative workshops where we define variables unique to you, like average pitch conversion rates. Agencies using this have seen 35% improvements in resource matching for niche projects. It's not a template—it's your playbook digitized, flexible enough to adjust for one-off crises or recurring events.
