Case Study: Phoenix The Creative Studio achieves streamlined workflows and Cannes success with Paymo

How Paymo Helped a Montreal Agency Play with the Big Boys at the Cannes 2016 Lions Festival

Phoenix the Creative Studio is a 10-person Montreal branding and interactive agency that rebranded in 2014 and produces high-visibility work such as their “Cannes Survival Kit,” distributed to more than 1,000 agency executives at the Cannes Lions Festival. The studio struggled with client feedback, time tracking and keeping multiple projects from becoming disorganized, and turned to Paymo’s project management tools (notably the project/tasks view) to support its workflow alongside Slack.

By adopting Paymo, Phoenix centralized task planning, time tracking and client deliverable management, which the team says “saved many hours of project management,” prevented frantic overtime cycles and kept a better balance between production work and items on hold. Paymo’s tools helped Phoenix execute large, attention-grabbing projects—like the Cannes kit—smoothly and maintain clearer project visibility across the team.
