What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was drowning in Excel sheets for tracking leads from corporate training video inquiries—they just vanished amid tight deadlines. Now, the system auto-sorts them by project type and urgency, and we've landed three major commercials worth $450K in the last quarter without extra hires. It's like having a dedicated coordinator who never sleeps."
Sarah Jenkins
Head of Production, FrameWorks Studio (a boutique video production agency specializing in corporate content)
"We used to lose follow-ups on event videography leads because everyone was busy on location shoots. Their custom AI flags urgent ones, integrates with our call logs, and even drafts personalized pitch emails based on client briefs. Cut our response time in half from 48 to 24 hours, and client satisfaction scores jumped 20% last year. No more guessing games with mismatched expectations."
Mike Rivera
Creative Director, Visionary Media (full-service video firm focused on live events and promotional content)
"Integrating this with our scheduling software was a game-changer for avoiding conflicts between lead nurturing and video shoots. No more double-booking leads with production slots on tight timelines. Saved us about 18 hours a week in manual coordination, and we've seen repeat business from nurtured leads increase by 15%—that's an extra $200K in recurring revenue—in just four months. Solid work from a team that gets production realities."

Operations Manager, ReelTime Productions (mid-sized agency handling commercial and testimonial videos)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unique lead sources in video production, like social media DMs?
Our system is designed with creative industries in mind. We build custom ingestion pipelines that pull leads from platforms like Instagram or LinkedIn DMs, emails from RFP sites, and even voice notes from client calls. The AI then enriches them with context—such as project type (e.g., commercial vs. wedding)—and scores based on your historical data. For a mid-sized firm, this means no more manual sifting; leads land directly in your pipeline, qualified and ready. We've seen teams reduce intake time from hours to minutes, allowing focus on crafting compelling pitches. Implementation starts with mapping your exact sources, ensuring 95% capture accuracy without overwhelming your workflow.
What kind of ROI can a video production company expect from this service?
Based on our deployments, expect a 3-6 month payback period. For instance, automating lead qualification saves 15-25 hours weekly at $50-100/hour rates, translating to $30,000+ annual savings for a 10-person team. Conversion boosts of 25-35% add revenue—think two extra $20,000 projects quarterly. We benchmark against industry standards: firms using similar AI see 4x ROI in year one by cutting tool costs (e.g., from multiple CRMs) and minimizing lost leads, which plague 60% of production houses. Your custom build ensures these gains align with your client acquisition costs, with full transparency via pre-project modeling.
Is this system secure for sensitive client information in leads?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in client-focused services like video production. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data in transit and at rest, with role-based access to protect details like script outlines or budgets. Compliance with GDPR and CCPA is built-in, plus audit logs for any lead interactions. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our owned systems avoid third-party vulnerabilities. For one client, this setup prevented a potential data leak during a high-profile shoot bid. We conduct a security audit during discovery to tailor protections to your needs, ensuring peace of mind while automating.
How long does it take to set up the lead management automation?
Typically 4-8 weeks, depending on your current setup. Week 1-2: We map your workflow through interviews with producers and account managers. Weeks 3-4: Build and test the AI core, integrating with existing tools like email or calendars. Final weeks: Deploy, train your team (just 2-4 hours), and optimize with live leads. This phased approach minimizes disruption— no big-bang launches. For a recent video agency, we went live in 5 weeks, with immediate 10-hour weekly savings. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of hands-on support to hit the ground running.
Can this integrate with our existing production software without causing downtime?
Yes, we specialize in zero-downtime integrations. Using robust APIs, we connect to tools like Adobe Premiere workflows, Basecamp for project tracking, or QuickBooks for billing leads. Our two-way sync ensures leads update in real-time—e.g., a qualified inquiry auto-populates your production queue without manual entry. We've handled complex setups for firms with legacy systems, achieving 99.9% uptime. The process includes staged rollouts: shadow mode first to validate, then full activation. This avoids the integration nightmares that cost video teams 10-20 hours monthly in fixes.
What if our lead volume fluctuates with seasons or campaigns?
Our scalable architecture handles variability effortlessly. Built on cloud frameworks, the system auto-scales for peaks—like summer wedding rushes or holiday ad seasons—without performance dips. AI adapts by learning patterns from your data, prioritizing surges in event videography leads. For a client with 3x volume spikes, we implemented dynamic queuing that maintained 100% response rates. No extra costs for scaling; it's baked in. We monitor and tweak quarterly to match your business cycles, ensuring consistent efficiency year-round.
