How Creative Agencies Leverage Project Management Software


Creative Chaos Needs Structure — And Smart Tools
Creative agencies thrive on innovation, but managing multiple clients, deadlines, and revisions? That’s a different story. In fact, a recent study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that over 60% of creative agencies lose up to 20% of their time in unbilled admin work.
The result? Lower margins, burned-out teams, and unhappy clients.
The good news: modern project management software can help agencies simplify operations, cut unnecessary overhead, and deliver standout client experiences — without sacrificing creativity.
In this post, you’ll learn how agencies can reduce complexity, increase transparency, and gain more control over their projects using Orangescrum Work. We’ll cover common pitfalls, share best practices, and outline how a simplified tool can help you do more with less.
