The brief, the moodboard, the working versions, the client's notes, the approval and the final delivery stop being spread across an inbox, a chat, a review link and three drives. They live on the project, in order, with the version each note belongs to still attached.
Design studios, video and photo production teams, creative agencies and in-house brand teams delivering client work in rounds, against deadlines, on more than one account at a time.
The brief started as a phone call and became an email thread. The moodboard is in a shared folder someone set up during a rush. Round two came back as nine bullet points from the marketing coordinator and a voice note from her boss that contradicts three of them. The editor is cutting from a version that was current on Tuesday. The delivery is a transfer link that expires in seven days, and in March, when the client needs the logo in one more format, somebody will spend an afternoon inside a drive folder called FINAL_ok_v2. Everyone on the team is good at the craft. The hours are going somewhere else.
Each account or campaign is a project, and the project holds the whole job: the signed brief, the scope, the production board, the version history, the client record, the delivery and the invoiceable rounds. You open the job and see the job. Nobody reconstructs it from an inbox.
A review round becomes a thing with edges. Feedback is posted against a specific version, consolidated in one place, turned into assigned items with owners and dates, and closed when the work goes back out. When two stakeholders disagree, that disagreement is visible before your team has already built both versions.
Approval and delivery are recorded, not remembered. The client's yes sits on the version it applies to. Final files go out through a share you control instead of a link that dies in a week, and you can reopen the same project two years later and find the round, the note and the file that shipped. Atty drafts the round recap, the status note and the delivery message; a human sends them.
Notes from every channel land against one version, get consolidated into assigned changes, and close together. Your team stops spending the first hour of every round deciding what the feedback actually was, and stops discovering a fifth comment after the file has already been re-exported.
Rounds are counted on the project against the scope you agreed, so a job drifting past what you quoted shows while you can still have the conversation. On top of that, the brief intake, the client records, the boards, the shared files, the calendar and the team chat are already in the product, so the stack of separate subscriptions and the manual copying between them both go away.
Who signed off, on which cut, on what day, and what they asked for before that. When the client says the blue was never approved, you do not argue from memory. You open the round and the record is already there, with the file it referred to.
What caps a studio is usually coordination, not craft. When every project carries its own brief, board, rounds and delivery pattern, and Atty handles the recaps, the chasing and the status notes, the same team can carry more live accounts without someone becoming a full-time traffic manager.
Every one of these is built in and already connected to the others. Nothing here is an integration you have to buy or wire up.
Publish a creative brief form and send the link instead of another email asking for the missing information. Deliverable, format, deadline, references and brand assets come in as a structured record you can start from.
Each client keeps their contacts, active jobs, past deliverables, proposals and full message history in one record, so the next brief starts with context instead of a search.
The brief, the treatment, the script, the shot list and the brand guidelines live on the project rather than in a folder someone has to be told about. What was agreed is one link away during the round that disputes it.
Concept, production, internal review, client review, revisions and delivery become columns, with each deliverable a card carrying its owner, its due date and its files. Moving the card is the status update.
Each new cut, layout or edit is posted to the project with the round it belongs to, and the notes attach to that post. The chronological record replaces a chat thread where nobody can tell v3 from v5.
Share a specific view, a document or a set of files with a client by link, without them needing an account and without a transfer that expires. What you delivered stays reachable long after the job closes.
Production days, review deadlines and launch dates sit on the project alongside the work, so the schedule and the deliverables are not two different systems that disagree.
When the deliverable is thirty posts rather than one film, produce, schedule and track them from inside the same project as the campaign they belong to.
No, and it does not try to. Your team keeps designing and editing where they design and edit. Attain OS is the layer around that work: the brief, the schedule, the rounds, the approvals, the client record and the delivery. It holds the files you circulate and ship, not the live authoring environment.
Yes. You can share a view, a document or a set of files with a link, and you can bring a client-side stakeholder in as an external collaborator limited to their own project. No seat, no onboarding, and no access to the rest of your studio.
Each client or campaign is its own project with its own board, files, calendar and permissions, and your dashboard shows what is live across all of them. A freelancer added to one account sees that account only.
By making it visible early rather than arguing about it late. The agreed scope sits on the project, rounds are counted against it, and the change that pushes past it is a record with a date rather than a feeling somebody has in week six.
It stays with the project. The brief, every version, the round notes, the approval and the delivered files are still there and still searchable when the client comes back next year asking for a resize, a new cut or the source file.
Field, volunteers, donors and the daily message in one system.
Calendar, campaigns, email, leads and the monthly report. Not nine tabs.
Milestones, dependencies and a status report that assembles itself.
Registration, run of show, vendors and budget — works on site.
