Case Study: AMCS Marketing achieves faster client feedback and clear approvals with Hightail

How day-to-day collaboration works at AMCS Marketing

AMCS Marketing is a small Denver-based design agency led by founder Anya McManis that produces web, print and infographic work for nonprofits and other clients. The firm faces frequent short‑lead, day‑to‑day design requests and struggled with a cumbersome feedback process—clients emailed JPGs/PDFs with scattered comments, making it time‑consuming to match notes to specific design elements and confirm final approvals.

AMCS adopted Hightail to collect in‑context comments and use its Approvals feature, letting multiple reviewers annotate files directly and signaling which version was final. The change centralized feedback, sped up review cycles, reduced duplicate comments, ensured clear sign‑off before print runs, and impressed clients—leading AMCS to expand Hightail across more projects.
