Start by getting client work organised in a project tool and a shared workspace, because an agency lives or dies on delivering many clients' work on time without dropping balls. Next, set up content and creative tools so writing, design, and video production are fast and consistent across accounts. Then add social media management so publishing and scheduling across clients happens from one place instead of logging into dozens of accounts. Layer campaign and lead tools next, since email, landing forms, and a CRM are how you generate and nurture leads for clients and for yourself. Finish with analytics, reporting, and billing so you can prove ROI to clients and get paid on time with GST-clean invoices. Do not start with fancy reporting dashboards before delivery is under control; sequence around shipping client work reliably first.
