What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, we were swamped with inquiries for low-budget social media clips that fizzled out, costing us 10-15 hours weekly on iterative storyboards. Their tailored lead scoring now prioritizes enterprise-level corporate video projects based on our historical data, and we've secured four seven-figure production deals in the past six months."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Data Mapping

We audit your existing leads, CRM data, and production histories to understand what makes a winning project. This tailored assessment ensures the AI learns your specific success patterns, from client briefs to final deliverables.

Step 2

Custom Model Development

Our engineers build and train the predictive model using advanced frameworks, incorporating video-specific signals like shoot duration estimates and creative alignment scores. We iterate based on your feedback for a perfect fit.

Step 3

Seamless Integration and Launch

We deploy the system into your workflow with custom dashboards and API connections, then monitor performance for the first month to refine accuracy. You'll see immediate prioritization of high-potential leads in your daily pipeline.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch using custom code, not no-code templates, ensuring your lead scoring evolves with your production styles—unlike assemblers who lock you into rigid platforms.

True ownership means no ongoing subscriptions; you own the AI asset, avoiding the dependency trap that plagues 70% of creative agencies per Deloitte reports.

Our production-ready systems handle complex video workflows, like integrating with editing software APIs, where off-the-shelf tools fail scalability tests.

Deep expertise in creative industries lets us incorporate nuanced factors, such as client mood board compatibility, setting us apart from generic AI vendors.

We prioritize data security for sensitive project files, with enterprise-grade encryption that complies with industry standards—builders protect what matters.

Flexible scaling supports your growth from boutique shoots to large-scale campaigns, without the brittle integrations that break under pressure.

Unified interface replaces juggling multiple tools, creating a single pane for lead insights that mirrors your client-relationship focus.

Proven track record with SMB creatives: we've deployed 50+ custom systems, delivering 3x ROI on average, backed by real client metrics.

Two-way integrations with tools like Adobe Creative Cloud ensure seamless data flow, eliminating the one-way limitations of typical agencies.

Ongoing optimization post-launch, treating your system as a living asset, not a set-it-and-forget-it product from assemblers.

Common Questions

How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM features?

Unlike built-in CRM tools that rely on basic demographics, our custom system uses AI to analyze video production-specific signals—like the depth of a client's creative brief or historical spend on similar shoots. We train it on your data for tailored predictions, achieving up to 40% better accuracy in identifying convertible leads. This means your team avoids generic filters and focuses on prospects aligned with your expertise in areas like corporate storytelling or event videography. Integration is seamless, pulling from your existing pipeline without disrupting daily operations.

What data do you need to build the scoring model?

We start with your anonymized historical data: past leads, project outcomes, client interactions, and metrics like shoot budgets or revision cycles. No sensitive creative assets are required upfront. Our process includes a secure audit to map what defines a 'hot' lead for your firm—perhaps inquiries with attached mood boards or from repeat sectors like advertising. This ensures the model is built for your unique workflow, from initial pitch to post-production upsells, without relying on external datasets that dilute relevance.

How long does it take to see results from implementation?

Most video production clients notice improvements within 2-4 weeks after launch. We handle the build in 4-6 weeks, followed by a tuning period where the AI refines based on live data. Early wins include a 30% drop in time spent on unqualified pitches, allowing producers to prioritize high-budget projects. For example, one firm saw their first scored lead convert to a $50K commercial shoot just 10 days post-integration. Ongoing monitoring ensures sustained performance as your business evolves.

Is the system scalable for growing production teams?

Absolutely. Our architecture is designed for SMB growth, handling increased lead volumes as you expand from 10 to 50 team members or take on more complex projects like multi-location shoots. It scales without added costs, using efficient AI frameworks that maintain speed even with thousands of data points. We've helped firms double their pipeline without workflow disruptions, incorporating features like team-specific score views for directors versus business devs. This flexibility prevents the bottlenecks that hit off-the-shelf tools during peak seasons.

What if our lead sources change, like new marketing channels?

Our custom-built system is inherently adaptable. We design it with modular inputs, so adding channels—like inbound from LinkedIn ads or referrals from film festivals—requires minimal reconfiguration. The AI retrains dynamically on new data patterns, maintaining accuracy. For instance, if you shift to more TikTok-driven leads, we adjust scoring for shorter-form content signals. This keeps your pipeline optimized without rebuilding from scratch, ensuring long-term value as your client acquisition evolves in the competitive video space.

How do you ensure data privacy for client inquiries?

Security is paramount in creative industries where NDAs protect story ideas and client lists. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with standards like GDPR and CCPA. Only aggregated, anonymized insights feed the model—no raw creative files are stored. Access is role-based, so producers see scores without exposing sensitive details. We've audited our systems with third-party experts, giving clients peace of mind that their lead data remains confidential while powering smarter decisions.
