How is LaunchBay different from project management tools like Asana or ClickUp?
Traditional project management tools are built for internal teams. LaunchBay is designed to align your agency and your clients inside the same system. It combines client-facing workflows, branded portals, automation, and integrations with your existing CRM and production tools, giving production agencies a connected operating system rather than a stack of disconnected tools.
How does LaunchBay help podcast and video production agencies scale without hiring more staff?
LaunchBay automates the follow-ups, access requests, and asset collection that normally slow teams down at the start of every engagement. By standardizing onboarding workflows inside one portal, your team can take on more production clients with the same resources, making growth predictable and far less dependent on manual coordination.
Can LaunchBay integrate with the tools podcast and video production agencies already use?
Yes. LaunchBay integrates with the platforms production agencies rely on, including Google Drive, Zapier, Calendly, Stripe, and more. The moment a deal closes in your CRM, onboarding kicks off automatically and clients get instant portal access to submit briefs, upload assets, and get production moving without your team lifting a finger.
