Template Library
Centralized, versioned templates enable consistent proposals across campaigns and clients while supporting optional sections for statements of work and media buy details.
Proposals and signatures generated and captured online can meet U.S. legal standards when processes follow ESIGN and UETA requirements, maintain intent to sign, and preserve reliable audit trails for admissibility.
A PR Manager uses the proposal generator to assemble client-specific proposals from templates, adjust media plans, and verify budgets. They collaborate with finance for approval and with legal for contract language, ensuring proposals reflect client requirements and agency pricing.
An Agency Administrator manages templates, user roles, integrations, and retention policies. They configure approval workflows, control access to sensitive pricing, and maintain compliance settings such as BAAs and audit log retention for regulatory review.
Centralized, versioned templates enable consistent proposals across campaigns and clients while supporting optional sections for statements of work and media buy details.
Context-aware text generation produces tailored campaign summaries, objectives, and deliverable descriptions based on client brief and historical project examples.
Automated fee calculators produce itemized budgets and optional retainers using predefined rate cards, markup rules, and region-specific taxes where applicable.
Create formal statements of work from selected line items, including deliverable schedules, milestones, and acceptance criteria for client transparency.
Embed media plan outputs and estimated placements with cost breakdowns and measurable KPIs to align PR activities with earned and paid media strategies.
In-document commenting, role-based approvals, and revision history streamline internal reviews and client feedback prior to finalization and signature.
Two-way integration with Google Docs enables importing client briefs and exporting finalized proposals as native Google files, preserving formatting and enabling collaborative edits before finalizing the document for signature and storage.
CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot) pull contact, opportunity, and account data to auto-fill proposal fields, update deal stages upon signature, and log activity for consistent pipeline management and reporting.
Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive connectors store signed proposals automatically in organized client folders, apply retention labels, and support enterprise backup and discovery processes.
Create reusable, branded templates with editable sections, conditional content, and variable placeholders to ensure each proposal follows agency standards while allowing tailored client messaging.
