Benefits

“My staff loves this program and it is a welcome upgrade

from our old Marketing Project Management System,

Workamajig.”Cal Schnatz, Jr., President of Creative Marketing and Art Direction at Ain't it a PITCH! Marketing Solutions

“Brightpod is a fine choice for managing marketing projects. Dead simple & doesn’t need much time to get used to. It's neat & the clean UI is a joy to

use."The Next Web

“I can visually track how my projects are progressing.”

Pods (Projects)Easily, get a birds-eye view of each of your projects and how they are performing.

Visual color indicators and progress bars easily helps you see which project is approaching its deadline (orange) and which one is overdue (red).

You can even choose a unique color for each project to easily distinguish it on the calendar.

“Delegating & tracking recurring tasks is simple

again."

Delegate like a proDisplay task lists and tasks as Kanban boards. You get to see the flow of the project (the big picture) and your team knows what they need to do. You can even assign multiple people to a task!

Track lists of blogs relevant to your industry or plan 90 day marketing goals and get feedback from your team.

Recurring tasks let you repeat tasks. e.g. Send client reports every Monday.

“I can stop wasting time & automating similar projects."

WorkflowsCreate workflows to help similar projects run smoothly and plan faster. You can also save your own workflows and reuse them since a lot of marketing tasks can be repetitive. These are the list of marketing workflows that come with every new Brightpod account:

1. SEO Checklist 2. Email Marketing Template 3. Social Media Marketing Workflow 4. Twitter Routine 5. Facebook Advertising 6. Getting Started With Linkedin Ads 7. Setting up a Google AdWords Campaign 8. Speeding Up Your Site 9. Setting up a WordPress Site 10. Site Launch Checklist

“My social media & content strategy in one place."

Editorial CalendarA unified drag and drop calendar lets you and your team plan content across all your projects.

We'll go one step further: You can even add events on the same calendar.

“The key to productivity is to focus on a few things.”

FocusThe key to daily productivity is to focus on a few things. Focus, as its name implies, is designed to help you focus on just some of your tasks. Tasks requiring Focus are displayed with a star. You can move these tasks around and plan your week.

“Stay on top of all your high priority work.” Me + Work Priority List

Log in every morning and head straight to the Me page to know what you have to work on or who do you need to nudge.

The Me page will display all tasks by a person across all his/ her projects.

Prioritize tasks (by a simple drag and drop) to separate the important from the urgent.

“Remember: time is money, track it wisely.” Time Tracking

Budget time for each project, track time for each task, add custom time entries, choose between billable and non-billable, filter time by team members and even export all your time to a spreadsheet.

By the end of the week you'll know how much time is being spent on each of your projects.

Brightpod SendBrightpod Send allows your team and clients to add tasks, task lists, messages and files to your projects via email.

A few ways you can use Brightpod Send: 1. Sending in ideas as you think about them. 2. Allowing your clients to send in tasks without having them to log in (most clients don't like to log in). 3. Forwarding your client requests directly into Brightpod and assigning it to someone. 4. Forwarding details from your contact form (the one on your website) to one of your projects (let's say ‘Leads’) to capture all lead information in one place. 5. Keep track of job applicants.

“I was the bottleneck but not anymore. :)”

Insights & ReportsInsights will show you when a project, milestone, task, time was added, completed, due by any of your team members across any of your projects and during a particular time interval.

“A birds-eye view of all your work during a time interval.”

“Love the slick interface and the workflows. They're a game

changer. Our team would jump at all preset flows even if they cost

us."“People buy what you believe instead of what you do!”

– Simon Sinek

Our Purpose“People buy what you believe instead of what you do!” – Simon Sinek

We believe that you should take out time to do the things you love. Through better planning and organisation (using a system that you can rely on) you can save time and plough that time into spending time with the family, going on an adventure or just relaxing and doing nothing. When your work is in control, each day should feel like a holiday.

Over the years, this became our foundation to move forward with Brightpod.

People were managing projects on email and spreadsheets. We had to show them a smarter way to work. We would make sure Brightpod is easy to use, clean and yet feature-rich.

We measure success a bit differently than others. 1. To have time to do the things we love. 2. See Brightpod reach more people around the world. 3. Spend more time with the people we love. 4. Take frequent breaks to rejuvenate. 5. Building something that people love using each day.
