What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team wasted Fridays manually reconciling media metrics from Cision, Meltwater, and our internal CRM—it was a nightmare during earnings season. Now, the custom dashboard auto-generates client reports with sentiment analysis and share-of-voice metrics, saving us 15 hours weekly. We secured a Fortune 500 tech client last quarter by demonstrating real-time ROI on their product launch in under 24 hours."
Sarah Jenkins
Account Director, Horizon PR Agency
"Zapier integrations failed repeatedly during our peak awards season, like the Effies, causing us to miss coverage on two major client stories in AdAge. AIQ's bespoke system is bulletproof; it streamlines approvals for 20+ clients' digital campaigns without glitches. We've slashed admin time by 50% and regained control, boosting our team's capacity for creative strategy sessions."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Pulse Communications
"Adopting AIQ's custom platform transformed our boutique PR firm—no more escalating SaaS fees for fragmented tools. We fully own the infrastructure, and the AI predicts coverage gaps using historical data from past thought leadership campaigns, allowing us to pivot a mid-project strategy for a healthcare client and surpass their KPIs by 30% in earned media value within three months."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this differ from using Zapier for PR automations?
Zapier excels at simple, one-way triggers but falters in complex PR scenarios like multi-step client approvals or real-time media sentiment analysis, where connections often break under load—costing firms up to 15% in lost productivity, per Gartner. Our custom AIQ Labs solution builds robust, bidirectional integrations with enterprise-grade code, ensuring 99.9% uptime. You own the system outright, avoiding Zapiers $500+ monthly fees for advanced tiers. For a mid-sized PR firm, this means handling 50 campaigns monthly without manual intervention, tailored to your workflow. We start by auditing your setup to replace brittle zaps with a unified platform that scales seamlessly.
What specific PR challenges does your custom system address?
PR firms face unique hurdles like reconciling client feedback from emails, Slack, and CRMs, which eats 20 hours weekly per account team. Our system automates this with AI that ingests data from all sources, generating unified reports. We also tackle delayed media monitoring—our AI scans outlets instantly, alerting on mentions to catch opportunities fast. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, it's built for your client-relationship focus, with features like automated pitch personalization. Benchmarks show a 35% increase in coverage secured. Implementation involves a quick discovery phase, ensuring the solution fits your exact needs without disrupting ongoing campaigns.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom workflow for my PR firm?
Timeline varies by complexity, but most PR firms see a fully deployed system in 6-8 weeks. We begin with a 1-week audit to map your media tracking and client management processes. Then, 4-5 weeks for building and testing integrations with tools like Google Alerts or your CRM. The final week covers training and go-live. This phased approach minimizes disruption—your team stays productive. For example, a recent client with 30 active accounts went live without missing a pitch deadline. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of support to refine, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your high-stakes environment.
Will I own the system, and what about ongoing costs?
Absolutely—ownership is core to our model. Unlike HubSpot or Zapier, where you're locked into subscriptions averaging $2,000 monthly for PR-scale use, you receive full source code and hosting control upon completion. No recurring fees from us; maintain it in-house or with any developer. Initial build costs recover via savings: clients report 50% reduction in tool expenses within year one. We design for easy scalability, so as your firm grows to handle more clients, the system adapts without vendor dependencies. This empowers true flexibility in your expertise-driven operations.
Can this integrate with our existing PR software stack?
Yes, our engineers specialize in deep integrations with PR staples like Cision for media databases, Meltwater for monitoring, and Salesforce for client tracking. We go beyond surface-level links—creating AI-enhanced connections that, say, auto-populate pitch lists from CRM data while analyzing response rates. For a firm using multiple tools, this creates a single workflow, cutting errors by 40%. We handle API complexities to ensure compliance with data privacy regs like GDPR, vital for client trust. During discovery, we assess your stack and prototype connections, delivering a seamless, custom fit without data silos.
How do you ensure the AI handles PR-specific nuances like tone and context?
Our AI is trained on PR datasets, including press release archives and client communication patterns, to grasp nuances like maintaining brand voice in pitches or detecting sarcasm in media feedback. Unlike generic Zapier bots, our custom models use advanced NLP for context-aware tasks, such as generating tailored journalist outreach that boosts response rates by 28%, per our client metrics. We fine-tune during build with your sample data, ensuring outputs align with your firm's style. For instance, one agency used it to automate crisis response drafts, saving hours while preserving professional tone. Ongoing, the system learns from your usage for continuous improvement.
