⚠️ The Challenge

A digital marketing agency managing 25 client accounts was drowning in manual reporting work. Their team spent 40+ hours monthly pulling data from Google Ads, Meta Ads, Google Analytics, and spreadsheets, then formatting everything into PDF reports.

Reports were often delayed, contained formatting inconsistencies, and required multiple revisions. The tedious process was demotivating for the team, and clients complained about late delivery. Scaling to more clients seemed impossible given the reporting bottleneck.
