In every department, at every level, people in the ad agency world are working more efficiently and collaboratively with Agency News Network. Join us as we take you through a typical day with this powerful, Web-based software.

A Day in the Life of an Agency

Click on a time to begin your tour.

The day begins. Instead of checking Facebook
with your morning coffee, you check your wall,
newsfeed and profiles in ANN’s community
microblogging tool, It’s All About Me.

  • Post your status, links, images and videos
    to keep your agency colleagues in the loop.
  • Share and comment on posts, follow threads,
    express likes and dislikes, and get instant
    feedback from your agency community.
  • Easily find contacts within your agency.

Your client is looking to you for some real social
media expertise. ANN’s Grapevine tool lets you
cut through all the chatter and channels more easily.

  • Track conversations about your clients, and
    their competitors across social media.
  • Pick variables to filter various online activity
    and create Google Analytics-style reports.
  • Implement a more effective listening strategy.

Time for the creative review, except half your team
is checking in remotely. Avoid an unproductive
hour by using War Rooms, a cool online chat area
for groups.

  • Set up a secure, password-protected chat
    room
    and invite your colleagues in seconds.
  • Quickly review the creative together,
    with team members connecting through the
    Web or iPhones.
  • Automatically save a record of all comments
    and e-mail it after the meeting.

Great news: you’re approved for the RFP! Bad
news: your agency’s relevant samples could be
anywhere. Good thing you’ve got ANN’s powerful
Campaigns tool.

  • Create a media library by dragging and
    dropping,
    template fields (e.g., campaign name
    date, job no., etc.).
  • Archive, search, download and share ads
    in a variety of formats, from video to Flash
    to PDFs.
  • Hook into your current repository of assets.

You told your boss you’d IM him about the new
meeting time. But what was his address? And what
platform is he on? With The Loop, you don’t have
to worry about it.

  • Get secure, IT-controlled enterprise instant
    messaging —
    no corporate data risks.
  • Conveniently access any IM address
    for any user in the agency.
  • Chat with any agency employee quickly and
    easily - they’re all on the same IM platform.
