The "Fragmented Workflow" Problem
Manual tracking of client briefs via spreadsheets leads to misaligned PR campaigns and lost media opportunities
Fragmented media monitoring across platforms like Meltwater and Cision wastes 10-15 hours per week on pitch preparation
Inconsistent reporting on coverage metrics delays client approvals for follow-up stories, eroding trust in high-value retainers
Over-reliance on generic tools like Google Sheets ignores bespoke needs for narrative-driven PR storytelling and brand positioning
Subscription sprawl from tools like Hootsuite and Asana inflates costs by 20-30% without scaling agency client acquisition or retention
Siloed communications in tools like Slack channels cause errors in high-stakes media placements and crisis response timelines

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were drowning in spreadsheets for tracking media mentions across 15+ outlets—losing 12 hours weekly on manual updates. Their custom system integrated our Meltwater feeds and internal CRM overnight, cutting our reporting time in half and helping us secure three major tech clients with $200K in new retainers last quarter alone."
Sarah Jenkins
Managing Director, Horizon Public Relations Agency
"ServiceTitan felt clunky for our creative workflows in pitching stories; it was built for service trades, not strategic communications. AIQ's solution automated our multi-level approval chains for press releases perfectly, and we've seen a 25% uptick in billable hours for client strategy sessions since implementation three months ago."
Michael Torres
Operations Lead, Apex Communications Firm
"The subscription costs from fragmented tools were killing us, totaling $15K annually without real integration. Now, with our owned AI platform, client briefs for crisis PR flow seamlessly to execution via automated workflows, and our team spends 40% less time on admin. It's transformed how we handle rapid-response scenarios—faster and more reliable than ever."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this differ from ServiceTitan for a PR firm?
ServiceTitan excels in field services like scheduling technicians, but it's ill-suited for PR's creative, narrative workflows. We build a custom AI system tailored to your needs—automating media pitches, client reporting, and sentiment tracking without generic templates. This means no wrestling with mismatched features; instead, you get a flexible platform that integrates your existing tools, owns the code outright, and scales with your agency's client roster. Firms using our solutions report 50% faster campaign launches, turning administrative drag into strategic advantage.
What PR-specific challenges does your system address?
PR firms often struggle with fragmented client communications and manual media tracking, leading to missed opportunities. Our custom build creates a unified hub that automates brief-to-execution flows, using AI to analyze past campaigns for smarter predictions. For instance, it can score pitch viability by cross-referencing journalist beats with your content, saving hours weekly. Unlike off-the-shelf options, this is designed for your expertise-driven model, ensuring relationship-focused features like automated follow-ups enhance client trust without subscription dependencies.
How long does it take to implement the custom system?
Implementation typically spans 6-8 weeks, depending on your workflow complexity. We start with a deep dive into your operations—mapping pain points like siloed reporting—then prototype key automations, such as AI-powered press release distribution. Beta testing ensures seamless integration with your CRM, followed by full deployment and team training. This phased approach minimizes disruption, with many agencies seeing initial wins, like reduced approval times, within the first month. Post-launch, we provide optimization support to refine as your client needs evolve.
Can I own and modify the system after build?
Absolutely—ownership is core to our model. Unlike renting from HubSpot or Zapier, you receive full source code, documentation, and hosting options upon completion. This empowers your team or IT to make tweaks, like adding new media monitoring sources, without vendor gates. We've seen agencies extend their systems independently for years, avoiding lock-in costs that average $10K+ annually elsewhere. Our builders ensure the architecture is modular and documented, making it an enduring asset for your PR operations.
What results have other PR firms seen?
Clients like Horizon PR cut manual tracking by 60%, reallocating hours to high-value strategy and landing 20% more placements quarterly. Another, Apex Communications, automated client dashboards, improving retention by 30% through transparent metrics. These outcomes stem from our focus on PR realities: predictive tools that forecast coverage impact and automations that streamline stakeholder loops. Benchmarks show 65% overall efficiency gains, with ROI realized in 4-6 months, far surpassing the limitations of tools not built for agency dynamics.
Is this suitable for small PR firms under 20 people?
Yes, our solutions are ideal for boutique agencies facing the same scaling pains as larger ones, but without enterprise budgets. We customize for lean teams—starting with core automations like lead enrichment for journalist outreach—ensuring quick wins without overkill. A 15-person firm we partnered with integrated their system in under 6 weeks, reducing admin by 40% and enabling solo operators to handle enterprise-level campaigns. Scalability means it grows with you, from initial setups to handling 100+ clients, all while maintaining that personal touch essential to PR success.
