Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with our existing PR tools like Cision or Google Calendar?
We start by auditing your current stack, then build deep, bidirectional integrations using custom APIs. For instance, with Cision, the system pulls media contact availability directly into your booking flow, eliminating manual exports. Google Calendar syncs in real-time to prevent double-bookings. This creates a single source of truth, reducing errors by 90% in our deployments. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our solution is coded to your exact workflow, so it feels native—no clunky workarounds. Implementation typically wraps in 4-6 weeks, with minimal disruption to your team's rhythm.
What kind of time savings can a mid-sized PR firm expect from this?
Based on benchmarks from similar firms, you could save 12-18 hours weekly per account manager. That's time reclaimed from chasing emails and resolving conflicts, redirected to billable strategy like content ideation. One client, a 50-person agency, reported a 35% drop in admin tasks after three months, equating to $75K in recovered productivity. Our AI handles the grunt work—availability checks, reminders, rescheduling—while you maintain control over approvals. ROI hits quickly, often within 60-90 days, as efficiency gains compound across your client portfolio.
Is this suitable for firms handling international clients with varying time zones?
Absolutely, we specialize in global PR workflows. The system auto-detects time zones from client profiles in your CRM and suggests optimal slots, avoiding those awkward 3 AM proposals. For example, it can prioritize European media slots for U.S.-based teams without manual math. We've built this for firms with distributed teams, ensuring compliance with regional data laws too. Setup involves mapping your key markets, and the AI learns from patterns to refine suggestions over time. Clients see fewer miscommunications, boosting relationship trust in cross-border campaigns.
How customizable is the booking process to our firm's branding and rules?
What security measures are in place for client-sensitive appointment data?
Security is paramount in PR, where confidentiality drives client loyalty. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, with role-based access controls so only authorized team members see schedules. Compliance with GDPR and CCPA is baked in, especially for international pitches. Our systems undergo regular audits, and we've handled sensitive data for firms in regulated sectors without a single breach. Features like audit logs track every booking change, providing transparency for compliance reviews. Unlike generic schedulers, our custom build avoids third-party vulnerabilities, giving you full ownership and peace of mind.
Can this scale as our PR firm grows from 20 to 100 team members?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability from the ground up. We use robust frameworks that handle increased volume without performance dips—think thousands of bookings monthly. For a growing firm, we incorporate modular expansions, like adding team hierarchies for delegated approvals. Past clients scaled from 15 to 80 users seamlessly, with zero downtime. The AI adapts by analyzing usage patterns to optimize load, ensuring it supports your expansion into new markets or services. Post-launch, we provide tuning sessions to align with growth phases, maintaining that 40% efficiency edge as your operations evolve.
