What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, onboarding a new e-commerce client involved two weeks of manual RFP brief reviews and email chases for assets. Now, their custom system automates intake, verifies creative assets against brand kits, and maps initial campaign strategies in under 48 hours. We've signed three more clients this quarter without adding headcount, increasing our billable utilization by 35%—it's been a game-changer for our agency bandwidth."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Account Director, PixelForge Digital Agency
"We were overwhelmed with manual uploads for creative briefs from distributed teams, leading to mismatched assets and delayed client launches. After implementing AIQ's automation, errors in asset compliance dropped to near zero, and our account managers report 15 hours saved per week on vendor follow-ups. The ROI materialized within two months, allowing us to prioritize high-margin campaign ideation over admin drudgery."
Mike Rivera

"As a boutique agency, client relationships are our lifeline, but onboarding was derailing us with endless follow-ups for approval sign-offs. AIQ's tailored AI streamlined it all—auto-populating project briefs from intake forms and securing multi-team approvals in days, not weeks. Last month, it enabled us to launch four digital campaigns on time for a fintech client, impressing stakeholders and securing two-year renewals worth $200K."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with our existing CRM like HubSpot?
We design deep, two-way API integrations tailored to your setup. For HubSpot users, our system pulls client data automatically during intake, updates records in real-time as onboarding progresses, and pushes completed profiles into your deal pipelines. This eliminates manual exports and ensures a single source of truth. In one deployment for a 50-person agency, this cut data entry by 80%, allowing seamless transitions to sales nurturing. We handle all custom mappings during discovery to match your exact fields and workflows—no disruptions, just enhanced efficiency.
What kind of time savings can a marketing agency expect?
Based on our deployments, agencies typically reclaim 10-15 hours per week per account manager. This comes from automating repetitive tasks like data verification and follow-ups, which industry benchmarks show consume 25% of onboarding time. For a firm handling 20 new clients quarterly, that's over 200 hours saved monthly—translating to $10K+ in billable recapture at standard rates. We track these metrics post-launch and optimize further, ensuring sustained gains as your client volume grows.
Is the solution customizable for different types of marketing services?
Absolutely—it's built from the ground up for your agency's specialties, whether digital, content, or full-service. We map workflows during the initial audit, incorporating nuances like SEO project intakes or video production asset lists. Unlike generic tools, our AI adapts to your processes, such as auto-tagging deliverables for creative reviews. A recent client in performance marketing saw their variant-specific onboarding (e.g., PPC vs. social) streamlined into one flexible system, reducing setup variations by 60% and improving team collaboration.
How do you ensure data security during client onboarding?
Security is foundational—we use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with SOC 2 standards. Custom access controls limit visibility to authorized team members, and AI processes sensitive info like contracts without storing it long-term. For marketing agencies handling client IP, we include audit logs for every action. In a deployment for a firm with strict NDA requirements, this setup passed their compliance review effortlessly, preventing breaches while accelerating workflows. Regular vulnerability scans keep everything robust.
What's the timeline for implementation?
From discovery to go-live, most agencies see full deployment in 4-6 weeks, depending on complexity. Week 1 focuses on auditing your current process; weeks 2-3 on building and testing the AI components; and weeks 4-6 on integration, training, and refinement. We minimize downtime with parallel runnings of old and new systems. One agency went live in 28 days, handling their first automated onboarding immediately with zero hiccups—delivering quick wins while we fine-tune based on live data.
Can this scale as our agency grows?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability, handling increased client loads without performance issues. Built on advanced frameworks, it supports from 5 to 500+ onboardings monthly by auto-scaling resources. As your agency expands services or teams, we can extend the system—adding modules for retainer management or multi-location clients. A growing firm we partnered with scaled from 10 to 40 quarterly onboardings seamlessly, maintaining 99% uptime and saving an additional 20% in admin time as volume rose.
