For agencies

The rounds you don’t bill for

Regulated clients send copy back. You absorb the hours and the week.

Running social inside a regulated brand rather than for one?

How the account is organised

One team view. A hard boundary around every client.

One account standard. Isolated client brands. One cross-brand desk. A separate evidence pack for each client.

  1. 01

    Account standard

    Set the rules that should hold across the agency once.

  2. 02

    Client brands

    Keep each client’s rules, sources and work isolated.

  3. 03

    Cross-brand desk

    See what needs attention without opening every client.

  4. 04

    Evidence packs

    Hand each client a record containing only its own work.

Plans are priced for your team, not per client brand.

TwoREVIEW ROUNDS YOU ABSORB

The rules sat in a document your writer has never opened, owned by a team you don’t report to.

8 WORKING DAYS · NOTHING RETURNED FOR A RULE

An illustrative brief, drawn twice; the day counts are not measured results. The pink is the part nobody bills — a return for a missing disclaimer, a banned word, an unsourced number. A client with an opinion still sends work back; a client catching a rule you could have caught does not.

Every client’s rules, loaded once

YOUR NAME

Sign off

Bound to the version they were shown. Your side confirms it, and it joins the permanent record.

What you do instead today

  • A shared document and a checklist

    Catches what the reviewer remembers, on the day they review.

  • The review suite your client already owns

    You have no seat in it, and nobody runs a caption through it.

  • A writing assistant with a brand voice setting

    Returns an opinion about tone. Your client asked what was checked.

  • A senior who reads everything before it goes

    Your most expensive person, and it stops the week they take leave.

All four look after the writing. This holds the rules while the sentence is being typed.

The two questions procurement asks

Client A cannot see Client B

Separation sits underneath every query, and is re-checked against a real database on every release.

HOW IT IS ENFORCED, AND HOW IT IS PROVEN

The record you hand a client names that client only

The export you send out names nobody else’s work. Handing one over is not a disclosure event.
