👩‍⚖️ Experts Speak

Meet our new feature section showcasing expert opinions on the biggest topics in creative agency & project management.

This month, we're kicking off with some wise words from our very own Penny Kooy, who's been with Workamajig for over 14 years!

"Using Workamajig to manage your marketing campaigns can provide excellent visibility while having a profound and positive impact on your agency. Establishing a budget for the campaign and monitoring how all the various projects are utilizing it in real time makes a company proactive.

Tracking the profitability and specifics of the campaign, as well as the associated projects including but not limited to sharing files and conversations at all levels, is a real game changer. Not only will this ensure we are 'in the know' of all the different aspects of the campaign, but it will also instill confidence in our process as we can review it effectively and efficiently."

Client Showcase

Heinrich Marketing, a Denver-based marketing agency, was using a very complicated system, which people did not want to use. But now, Julie Forbes recounts how:

‘Workamajig has solved our greatest challenges in that it’s really easy to use, you can slice and dice the info in a lot of different ways. It’s given us a project schedule that tells you what you need to do from start to finish, who’s supposed to do what, and how long it’s meant to take.’

‘The support is great, you can call and ask questions. It’s agency-specific and has all the bells and whistles the company was asking for. It has provided a one-stop-shop for the staff and just been really helpful.’
