IT support for creative agencies

IT for creative agencies

Creative agencies have different IT needs from a typical office. The team often works on Macs, files are large and constantly changing, and a single video project can fill a laptop's drive. Work moves between designers, editors, account managers and freelancers, and finished files have to reach clients and printers quickly, often late in the day before a deadline. Many agencies also rely on freelancers who bring their own machines, which makes it harder to keep client work on company storage.

Agencies also hold valuable assets that belong to other people: client logos and brand files, unreleased campaigns, photography under licence and the account logins for client social media and ad platforms. Losing those, or having one of those logins misused, is a serious problem for a client relationship. Clients increasingly ask agencies how their brand assets and account access are protected, and larger clients may want it in writing before work starts. Simple, sensible controls make those conversations easy instead of awkward.

Office IT supports design studios, marketing, digital, video and production agencies with three to seventy-five staff. We manage Macs properly, set up shared storage that suits big files, make sure your internet upload speed matches the work, protect client accounts and assets, and handle freelancers joining and leaving without passwords being passed around. Our technicians are comfortable with macOS as well as Windows, and we plan changes around production schedules so a deadline week is never the week a storage migration happens.
