Case Summary

Celeb Talk Guy was relying on Frame.io, Google Spreadsheets and ClickUp (basic setup) to carry out its business processes. From managing payments to handling customers and projects, information was not only scattered in unconnected platforms, but it was arranged in such a way that there were tedious bottlenecks in the flow of information from one department to another and extracting proper analytics and data for decision making was impossible. Payments were manually handled in a spreadsheet. After onboarding IT Visionists, our experts mapped out all the company’s processes and outlined them in ClickUp as the new centralization hub. Wherever automation could replace a manual task, we did it. 

And after our intervention, with the implementation of effective business workflows in Clickup with added utilization of more than 168K automation per year. Celeb Talk Guy saved 50% of its time by no longer spending it on manual, repetitive, and inefficient tasks.

With more than 160K followers on YouTube and 26.5K on Instagram, Celeb Talk Guy has elevated the quality of its content consistently. And with growth, certain challenges arose.

The Story of

Celeb Talk Guy!

Celeb Talk Guy is a successful growing Video Agency with a YouTube channel founded by Max Fata. Celeb Talk Guy talks about all things related to pop culture and reality TV from rumors to the latest scoop, and anything relevant.

The Challenge

The main challenge in Celeb Talk Guy’s operations was the way information was being handled, and the unproductive usage of their stack of tools. Collaboration on tasks took most of their time. They primarily relied on Frame.io, ClickUp, and Google Spreadsheets. These three tools were completely disconnected from each other, and every time information had to travel between them, it had to be done by hand, making them more prone to errors, missing important elements, and spending more time than necessary on repetitive tasks. At the same time, all the power that ClickUp could bring to the table was not maximized nor optimized.

The business was in an expansion phase, and more resources needed to be hired. The existing stack of solutions was already in use to manage the existing resources, as well as customers, and even projects. But the lack of interconnected processes ensured that -when the new resources are hired- efficiency, productivity, and efficient control would plummet.

Their usual tasks involved different resources, where every individual had to complete their part to deliver the complete work. This also involved reviews and approvals from one stage to another. And after that, payments had to also be managed. Due to disconnected processes, accountability wasn’t possible for the work delivered by the team.

The Solution

Celeb Talk Guy realized that they needed someone who can set them up ClickUp quickly and efficiently. This is where IT Visionists jumped in!

After our team of experts understood Celeb Talk Guy’s main pain points and issues through an initial discovery phase, we implemented a comprehensive action plan that could compare to an extreme makeover to all the existing processes.

Visualization:
Once all the flows of information were automated and connected, our experts created custom Views on ClickUp, with even more automation, to produce KPIs and metrics at a resource, project, and company level.

Automation
We developed and provided a strategy to catalogue and break down different tasks into different categories. This allowed us to implement multiple process automation for each one of them from auto-assigning new tasks based on user roles, to launching follow-ups when required.

ClickUp Implementation
It was defined that ClickUp would act as the centre node of all their new processes and workflows. Every new workflow was designed having ClickUp in mind, to ensure maximum compatibility.

Training
To reach the desired outcome, our experts trained and coached the company’s resources so everyone could understand the importance of this strategy as well as how it works, and what is required from them to make it work.

Integration using Make (Integromat)
Our automation experts implemented Make (Integromat) to deploy automation between ClickUp and Frame.io, connecting both within the same processes and workflows. This ensured a real 360° full integration. This phase was extremely challenging to develop, but it was critical.

Support
From IT Visionists, we have continued providing post-implementation support to Celeb Talk Guy to further increase efficiency where possible, or to accommodate any new business dynamics within our approach.

Workflows
Having all the key interacting stakeholders in mind, we designed and defined a new workflow for every need. This brought more visibility and aided the company in sharpening its business strategy.

After the strategic plan was entirely executed, the results speak for themselves:

  • More than 168,000 automations per year are executed.

“If someone had told me -before knowing IT Visionists- that I could get a better handle at my company while spending only half the time in doing it, I wouldn’t have believed it. IT Visionists made it possible! They definitely know their craft.”
