Agency approvals. Without the chase.

Send one link. Clients review it. Approved.

Email threads lose the version. Slack threads lose the trail. Writerflow anchors every approval to the exact draft it was approved against — and your clients never have to log in to anything.

The Problem

Your margin lives in the gap between
“done” and “approved.”

Email threads. Slack messages. Google Doc comments. None of them anchor the approval to the version it approved. That gap fills up with rework you can't invoice, PM hires that don't produce, and clients who leave over process.

Creative directors lose Monday morning to detective work

The first half of every Monday goes to figuring out what's stuck, who's holding it, and which clients are about to escalate. That's 5-8 hours a week your CD spends as a project detective instead of leading creative.

Rework eats 10% of your margins. PM hires cost $100-130K.

Wrong version sent to client. Feedback lost in a thread. Revisions applied to an outdated draft. Add a project manager to chase sign-offs and you're paying $100-130K fully loaded for someone who doesn't produce client work. That's a tax on growth, not a scaling strategy.

Ops chases feedback across five surfaces

Email, Slack, Google Doc comments, text messages, the brief itself. Five reviewers in five places. Account managers spend 8-12 hours a week consolidating feedback instead of moving content. The bottleneck isn't production — it's the queue between ‘done’ and ‘approved.’

You don't need more project managers. You need to stop being the human router.

Every piece in flight. Who's holding it. How long it's been there.

Built for agencies running client content across multiple accounts — from brief to published.

Structured briefs

Define audience, tone, keywords, and format requirements in a structured brief. Writers get clarity before they start.

How It Works

From idea to approved in five steps

Step 1: Plan

Schedule content across every client

Use the visual content calendar to plan what’s publishing, when, and for which client. Drag and drop to reschedule. Capture ideas before they disappear.

Ideas backlog

Filter by client, type, or status

Focus on what matters — blog posts, social, newsletters, any content type

Step 2: Brief & Assign

Brief writers so the first draft hits the mark

Create structured briefs with audience, tone, keywords, and format requirements. Assign a writer and deadline — they get notified with everything they need.
