How a marketing agency manages 15 clients simultaneously with Polimake
Discover how a 12-person digital marketing agency efficiently manages 15 clients at once using Polimake to organize content, editorial calendars, and collaborative workflows.
The challenge
Agencia Creativa Madrid is a digital marketing agency with 12 employees that manages 15 active clients simultaneously. Before using Polimake, they faced several problems:
- Disorganized content: Each client's files were scattered across different platforms (Google Drive, Dropbox, local servers)
- Lack of visibility: There was no clear way to see what content was in production for each client
- Out-of-sync calendars: Each client had their editorial calendar in different tools (Trello, Notion, Excel)
- Fragmented communication: Comments and feedback got lost across emails, Slack, and documents
- Time wasted searching for files: The team spent up to 2 hours a day looking for images, videos, and documents
The solution with Polimake
1. Organization by projects and clients
Each client has their own project in Polimake with folders organized by content type:
Client: Restaurante La Terraza
βββ π Instagram Content
βββ π TikTok Videos
βββ π Product Photos
βββ π Brand Assets
βββ π Generated Content
Result: The team finds any file in less than 30 seconds.
2. Centralized editorial calendar
Each client has their calendar inside Polimake where all posts are planned:
- Monthly view: To see the complete strategy
- Weekly view: For daily work
- Platform view: Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn separated
- Automatic reminders: Notifications 2 days before each post
Result: An 80% reduction in missed or duplicate posts.
3. Custom workflows and statuses
For each client, they set up specific workflows:
π Briefing β π¨ Design β β
Client Approval β π
Scheduled β π€ Published
Custom statuses make it possible to see what stage each piece of content is in:
- In review: Waiting for client feedback
- Approved: Ready to publish
- Scheduled: Already on the calendar
- Published: Already live on social media
Result: Complete, real-time visibility into the status of every project.
4. Real-time collaboration
- Contextual comments: Each file has its own comment thread
- Mentions: @name to notify specific team members
- Change history: See who changed what and when
- Sharing with clients: Secure links for review without needing an account
Result: A 60% reduction in follow-up emails.
5. Semantic content search
When they need to find a specific image, they use AI search:
- "Mediterranean food photo with good lighting"
- "Vertical video of the restaurant's atmosphere"
- "Client's logo in a transparent format"
Result: They find relevant content even without specific tags.
