What advertising agencies teams need from a CRM
Business-development pipeline
Track long-cycle pitches and the brand-side stakeholders who decide, so nothing stalls in silence.
Brand-account relationships
Map the people at each brand and the history of work, so account leads walk in with full context.
Campaign delivery tracking
See campaigns tied to the account so growth and delivery share the same source of truth.
Rook nurtures long cycles
Rook keeps multi-year prospects and current brand contacts engaged so relationships stay warm.
The relationship-memory problem
Agency relationships span years and change hands as people move between brands. Without a system, that institutional memory walks out the door with the account lead who leaves.
- Relationship history lives in one persons head
- Long-cycle prospects go untouched for months
- No shared view of brand contacts and work
How Ardovo fits an ad agency
