Case Study: Virtue achieves predictable, on-time project delivery and balanced workloads with Harvest & Forecast

How VICE’s Creative Agency Predicts the Future With Harvest Forecast

VICE’s creative agency, Virtue, produces high‑impact campaigns for brands like Lululemon and Mercedes‑Benz but faces tight timelines, complex resource juggling, and strict budget constraints common to the fast‑paced advertising world. Their core challenge is executing high‑quality work consistently without overbooking teams or losing visibility into project health.

They use Harvest and Forecast for granular, transparent planning — weekly and daily check‑ins prevent “red” overbooking, long‑term forecasts trigger freelancer hires or new roles, and post‑mortems compare projections to actuals for continuous improvement. The result is reliable delivery on aggressive briefs (including rapid three‑week film turnarounds), clearer communication between teams and Finance, and a repeatable process that keeps Virtue organized, staffed appropriately, and able to maintain its creative edge.
