Independent creative, PR, and media agencies
We fix one recurring agency workflow in 14 days, inside the tools your team already uses. Missing inputs, out-of-scope requests, and overdue approvals get flagged and sent to the right person. Your team still makes the call.
One workflow.
14 days, fixed price.
Your existing tools.
Your team makes the call.
Where margin goes
Pick the one that costs you the most. These are illustrative situations, not client case studies.
Work starts before the brief is complete. Feedback arrives from three people in two places, and a producer has to work out which version counts.
What changes: Work waits until the brief is complete. Conflicting client feedback goes to one owner, with the sources attached.
A fourth round lands on a three-round estimate and nobody raises it. A 40-hour retainer takes 60, and you find out at invoicing.
What changes: The extra round is flagged before anyone starts it. Retainer overruns show up mid-month, not at invoicing.
A budget revision gets approved, but the platform still runs the old split. Publisher invoices get checked by hand at month end.
What changes: Live allocations are compared with the approved plan, and invoices with the insertion order. Only mismatches reach a person.
Coverage and performance numbers get copied into decks. When two sources disagree, an account manager has to explain why.
What changes: The data is pulled together and conflicts are flagged, so account managers write the commentary instead of copying numbers.
Final artwork reaches media with the wrong size, naming, or tracking, and someone finds out close to launch.
What changes: Files are checked against the media schedule at sign-off, while there is still time to fix them.
Every win restarts the same chase for logins, contacts, naming rules, and past data.
What changes: One checklist tracks what is missing and who owns it, so each new account starts from the same process.
Media, SEO, and content sit in separate tools, so client profitability only becomes clear after the month closes.
What changes: Hours, fees, and spend come together by client, with unusual movements flagged before month end.
How it works
It starts read-only. Nothing changes in your live systems until your team decides it should.
Read the email, comment, or form where it already lands.
Compare it with the brief, estimate, or media plan.
Mark anything missing or out of scope, with its source.
Give a named person the item and the next action.
A person approves, changes, or rejects it. The decision stays on record.
Still no answer? The item stays visible and assigned, and follows the reminder path you agreed. Silence never counts as client approval.
The 14-day sprint
The price and acceptance criteria are agreed in writing before work starts.
Days 1–3
Start with the handoff that costs the most hours. Establish who owns each step and what the delay costs today.
The output: an agreed scope and the measure we will judge it against.
Days 4–10
Connect the checks, flags, and routing to the tools the team already opens every day.
The output: a working version, tested on examples from recent jobs.
Days 11–14
Your team uses it on real work. We adjust the rules where they flag too much or miss something.
The handover: a workflow your team runs without us.
Your tools stay
Nobody has to learn a new project tool. Flags and approvals appear where your team already works.
These are common starting points, not a fixed list. We confirm access and permissions for your tools in the scoping note, before you commit.
What acceptance means
Before we build, we agree a baseline such as hours spent chasing, rounds over estimate, or days to client sign-off. We also agree what counts as done, and what is excluded. At the end of the sprint, you see the results against that baseline.
Why Corvx
One named person at Corvx is responsible for the work through to handover.
The scoping note names the workflow, the tools involved, and what we need from your team.
You receive the acceptance record, a runbook, and training for the person who will own the workflow.
A useful starting point
This fits agencies where someone can name a recurring problem and one person can own the fix. You do not need a specification. Tell us where it stalls, which tools it crosses, and who chases it today. An example from a recent job helps, with client details removed.
Before we begin
Possibly not. If your platform or group team already covers the workflow, we will say so. This fits when a specific gap remains, such as a check nobody owns or a step still done by hand, and we can usually build around what you have.
No. We start by checking whether the tools you have can already do the job. If a setting or a template fixes the problem, we will tell you, and you may not need the sprint at all.
Mainly in reading unstructured inputs such as emails, comments, briefs, and PDFs. Checks against an estimate, plan, or invoice are ordinary rules that give the same answer every time. If rules alone do the job, we do not add AI.
Not unless you choose that. By default, flags and drafts go to your team, and a person decides what the client sees.
We agree access, permissions, and which data is in scope with your owner before work begins. If your client contracts restrict how data is handled, bring them to the scoping conversation. They shape what we can build.
Each sprint has a fixed price. After a first conversation you receive a scoping note within 48 hours with the workflow, the price, and the acceptance criteria, before you commit to anything.
Mostly access to your tools and time from one person on your team to review the rules and test results. We confirm both in the scoping note. If the workflow is too large for 14 days, we will say so and narrow it first.
Your owner has the runbook and training to run it. Monthly support and further workflows are optional and scoped separately.
Start with one workflow
Tell us where it stalls and who chases it today. You will get a scoping note within 48 hours of our first conversation.
