Team: Creative Services team supporting Ad Sales in creating B2B marketing material.

Challenge: Brad’s team of 14 people was looking for a simple solution to combine all their projects in one place. The team handles hundreds of projects a year as well as a few events, so a project board was helpful to keep them organized. With the boards in monday.com, Brad’s team was able to break down the necessities of each project, create timelines, assign roles, and stay on track all from one place. The template they used allowed the team to see the “big picture,” while still giving them the ability to hone in on smaller individual tasks and projects.

Most loved features: The team at Discovery, Inc loved using the templates on monday.com. The features such as color coding, adding new columns, Timeline, and tagging made things smooth & easy for everyone to get on board. Without this template, Brad and his team would still be stuck wading through dozens of separate spreadsheets, documents, and messages across several platforms. monday.com helped save the team time and money. Most importantly, they saved precious energy that can now go towards focusing on their projects and clients.

“It allows us to quickly see everything in the pipeline along with all pertinent details.”

KAHR Medical is tasked with a long process for clinical trials, from early preparations, safety testing, applications to the FDA, and more. Needless to say, it’s a long process that requires careful planning and monitoring in order to get a successful outcome. Pre-clinical trials can take years and are conducted in more than one location, so teams need to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively. KAHR Medical implemented Proggio to better plan their development. In a matter of days, the team created a two-year plan covering a range of tasks and assignments.

Airbnb on Wrike

Team: The Trip Experiences team at Airbnb was expanding quickly into new cities. Creative production manager, Hoon Kim, was looking to streamline the detailed process.

With this expansion came a ton of new creative projects, each of which required massive amounts of assets, like videography, photography, posters, and more. The were stuck using a huge online spreadsheet to coordinate all their data. However, as Airbnb is a dynamic company with constant changes, this simply was not an adequate solution for their team. Kim Hoon and his team decided to implement Wrike because it is easily scalable.

Most loved features: Wrike helped bridge the gap between teams while also increasing work capacity and efficiency. Hoon’s goal was to streamline processes. In turn, this would improve productivity for each employee instead of bringing on new team members. The teams at Airbnb loved using the Dashboard and Reporting features, which allow them to stay on top of projects and tasks. The simple way teammates can communicate within Wrike also allows questions to get answered a lot more quickly then before.

“With everything contained in Wrike, we were able to leverage Wrike’s functionality to increase the quality of our assets across the board, make sure they were consistent, and also see where we were being efficient.”
