Whether creative services, social media or PR – every marketing function benefits from outside perspectives to create and spread innovative communication ideas that support the business objectives from sales growth to brand awareness.
But keeping all activities, invoices and budgets under control while creating multi-channel campaigns with multiple agencies, creatives and freelancers can be quite challenging.

The challenges while managing spend on agencies, freelancers, or creatives​​

Poor Budget Monitoring & Forecasting
Marketing internal requests

Marketing departments often receive, such as product teams, sales teams, or executives. Managing and prioritizing internal requests from various stakeholders across the organization requires marketing teams to balance competing priorities and allocate resources effectively.

Marketing campaigns and projects frequently encounter changes in scope, objectives, or market conditions, requiring flexibility in budget allocation. Striking the right balance between accommodating changes and managing budgetary constraints is crucial for successful campaign execution.

Without a centralized system in place, tracking spending across various projects, campaigns, and agencies can become disjointed and inconsistent, making it challenging to monitor budgets effectively.

Marketing campaigns often require careful planning and coordination to ensure timely execution and delivery. However, short lead times or last-minute changes can disrupt this process, leading to rushed or suboptimal outcomes and increased costs.

Many marketing departments still rely on manual processes for managing invoices, contracts, and payments to external service providers, which can be time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient.

Marketing campaigns often involve input from multiple stakeholders, including internal teams, external agencies, freelancers, and executives. Managing communication, feedback, and decision-making among these various stakeholders can be challenging, particularly when conflicting opinions or priorities arise.
