It’s unbelievable how the ad business has changed in twenty years.

In the mid-1980s, fax machines ruled. Cell phones were bricks. No one used e-mail. Every art department smelled like wax and rubber cement. And agencies managed their shops with job jackets, notebooks, adding machines, and typewriters.

But some things haven’t changed.

Jobs need to be started. Estimates need to be accurate. Deadlines need to be met. Invoices need to be timely. And bills need to be paid.

The need to stay organized has never been greater. Clients are demanding work faster than ever, often for less money. So keeping your shop organized and efficient is not just the key to prosperity, it can be a matter of survival.

Fortunately, you have the right tool for the job.
