Agencies

Every client, every brief, every creator, on the same record.

Mix-IP holds the agency end-to-end — reconciliations, retainer renewals, and creator payouts included. One workspace for the account director, the creative team, the clients, and the creators they commission. Built for agencies that run a dozen simultaneous worlds and need them all addressable from one view.

Bundled on every plan: Vault 88 for per-client isolation · Pro Transfer App desktop transfer for masters across every client engagement · Wise + Stripe rails for creator settlements in 60+ currencies.

Why agencies pick Mix-IP

Three clients. Three currencies. Three creator settlement cycles. And it's Friday afternoon.

Briefs in Notion, per client. Time-tracking in Harvest. Creator commissions in spreadsheets. Retainer fees in QuickBooks. Where's the original creator invoice? in a Slack thread the account director can't find. Mark-ups reconciled in a finance model nobody touches between Tuesday and quarter-close.

With Mix-IP

The whole portfolio lives on one record, so the account director sees every engagement from one view and the agency's margin reports on Monday morning, not the following Friday.

12+ Clients per workspace Concurrent client engagements addressable from one agency view. The account director sees all of them; each client sees only their slice. The creative director's roster floats across all of them. No Notion-of-Notions, no per-client tracker proliferation.
~36h Brief to first commission From the moment the agency wins a brief to the first creator commission going out — fee locked, contract signed, watermarked preview share opened. All in sub-48h.
100% Pass-through audit-ready Every creator commission, every mark-up, every retainer fee, every change-order line-itemed and exportable for client-side procurement audit. No "where's the original invoice?" on a Friday afternoon.
60+ Settlement currencies Commission a São Paulo editor in reais, a Berlin colorist in euros, a Mexico City sound designer in pesos — all routed through Wise + Stripe rails, all reconciled against the engagement record. Payments included.
An agency engagement through Mix-IP

One brief, won to billed — one of a dozen you're running.

One engagement, one record, six steps. Your agency wins a multinational athletic-apparel brand's campaign and runs it end to end — a hero TV commercial, a social push with influencers, a call for user-generated content — commissioning the production house, signing the talent, coordinating post, and billing the client while every creator gets paid. It's one of a dozen engagements live in your workspace right now. Each step below cross-links to the feature page that does the work.

01/06 The internal pitch

The brief comes in. Your teams pitch for it.

The client's brief lands, and your agency runs it as an internal contest — your creative teams each pitch their concept in Mix-IP, every idea protected and credited to the team that made it. The account and creative leads review side by side; the strongest concept takes the lead and goes to the client. When the client greenlights it, the engagement is already staffed and on the record.

  • Your teams pitch in one place — concepts side by side, each credited to its authors, none quietly borrowed by another team
  • The winning concept carries its whole trail — who pitched it, who's on it, ready to present the moment it's picked
  • The client's brief arrives structured on the record — the client runs on Mix-IP too, so nothing's re-keyed to kick off

02/06 Commission

Commission the house. On the client's behalf.

You open a production Call to your roster of houses; they quote against the brief, and you commission the winner into the engagement. The commission contract auto-fills and countersigns in-platform, and the mark-up you carry is captured on the record from the start.

  • The production house runs on Mix-IP too — its crew, rates, and releases already on the record, so nothing's re-keyed to start
  • Compare quotes like-for-like — production, post, and talent line-itemed against the same brief
  • Your mark-up is captured as the commission is made — pass-through and margin audit-ready by default, not rebuilt at quarter-close

03/06 Talent & casting

Sign the talent. Cast live.

You sign a headline athlete and a musician through the Talent Library — their reps and agencies are in the ecosystem, so every contract, likeness window, and usage right lands on the record as it's agreed. For the supporting cast, you run a live casting session in Live Studio — auditions reviewed and selected in real time, the picks credentialed on the spot.

  • Reps and agencies negotiate in the same workspace — no side-thread, no countersign lag
  • Auditions decided live, not over a week of shared links — the pick is credentialed the moment it's made
  • The likeness window runs as a live clock — the record knows when a buyout lapses before the client runs the spot past it

04/06 Production

The shoot delivers. The rights come with it.

The production house shoots, and everything lands in the engagement workspace via Pro Transfer App — masters, cuts, behind-the-scenes, UGC — hash-verified, resumable, per-recipient encrypted. And every appearance is cleared before the shoot wraps: talent, extras, and background each have a signed release on the record before the footage locks.

  • Locations, props, and music clear alongside the cast — the whole shoot's rights on one record, not four systems
  • Byte-level proof on landing — you know the master is exactly what the house shipped
  • Each client sees only their engagement — assets isolated per client, even as your team floats across all of them

05/06 Post & distribute

Post as one team. Distribute to every media partner.

Post runs across your studio, the client, and the production house at once, and Task Manager keeps every cut, comment, revision, and approval on one board. Before anything ships, the footage is cross-verified against the releases — face recognition matches every appearance to a signed release and flags anyone unreleased. When the masters are baked, you handle the media distribution yourself — the right cut goes to each partner: broadcasters, out-of-home vendors, the paid-social platforms, retail, each with its own license boundary and flight dates, gated previews through Vault 88 first. Every placement is tracked against the record, so a spot never runs past its window.

  • An unreleased face is caught before the cut is approved — cleared or cut in post, never a takedown that lands on your agency
  • Client, studio, and house on one board — a client sign-off is the trigger that bakes the master, not an email round nobody can find
  • You distribute to every media partner from one desk — broadcasters, out-of-home, platforms, retail — each getting the right cut, license, and flight dates
  • Every placement tracked against the record — a spot can't run past its window, and the client's usage report writes itself

06/06 Awarded, credited & paid

It wins at Cannes. The whole record gets the credit.

The campaign runs, and it takes a Lion at Cannes. The credit comes straight off the record — the creative team that pitched it, the production house, the director, the talent, every contributor by name — so no one argues over whose trophy it is. The same record settles the money: your fee and mark-up, the pass-through to production and creators, the client's partner foundation for the cause, every payout with a receipt and the audit trail and tax forms baked in.

  • The award credits the whole chain — creative team, production house, director, talent — the record already knows who did what, so no one's contribution goes missing
  • Your fee and mark-up sit beside the pass-through on one record — the client's procurement audit answers itself
  • Every creator paid on their rail and the client's foundation funded on the split — Wise + Stripe, verifiable receipts, tax forms baked in

Where Mix-IP fits in your stack

We replace the agency-coordination layer. Not the creative tools.

Mix-IP consolidates the multi-client coordination layer of the agency — the briefs across clients, the creator commissions, the pass-through margin, the retainer renewals, the work-product retention. We don't replace the tools your designers and editors actually love. Adobe Creative Cloud stays. Your NLE and motion stack stays. Your accounting tool stays. Your client's procurement workflow stays. We just stop the agency from leaking out the seams between them.

Replaces

Stop paying for these.

  • Multi-client project-management proliferation — Trello, Asana, Notion, ClickUp, one per client The agency's project tracker shouldn't itself be 12 different project trackers. Mix-IP holds every client's engagement on the same record, and the account director sees the portfolio from one view.
  • Creator commission tracking spreadsheets Who's working on what brief, what's their fee, what's their settlement currency, when did they invoice — all on the engagement record, no separate roster spreadsheet that the AD has to keep current.
  • Retainer fee Excel models & renewal-date calendars The "retainers" tab in your CFO's spreadsheet is a renewal disaster waiting to happen. Mix-IP flags retainer renewals 90 days out, in the same workspace as the engagement — not in a Q4 calendar nobody opens until Q4.
  • Client-portal access management — Dropbox per project, NDA per brief, DocuSign chains Client-side access boundaries auto-apply per engagement. One client can't see another's brief, a retainer client can't see a project client's rates, and creators see only their own commissions across all of them.
  • Inter-agency collaboration emails when multiple agencies share a client When lead, secondary, and production-house agencies all work on one brand, Mix-IP makes the agency-to-agency hand-off explicit — the contract, the work-product boundary, the rights pass-through, all attached to the engagement.
Plays nicely with

Keep the tools your team loves.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud — Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects Your designers stay in their tools. Mix-IP holds the masters, the work-product, and the briefs; Creative Cloud handles the creative work and round-trips assets cleanly.
  • Production tools — Resolve, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut, Cinema 4D, Houdini Production stays in the NLE / motion / VFX surface; Mix-IP holds the finished masters and the rights metadata. Round-tripping a delivery cut into the engagement record is one upload, not a manual reconciliation.
  • Time-tracking & accounting — Harvest, Toggl, Xero, QuickBooks, Sage Time entries export with engagement and client references intact. Invoices reconcile against creator settlements without a re-key. Your CFO's monthly close stays in the tool they already trust.
  • Client procurement & legal review — Workfront, Wrike, Coupa, OpenText Your client's procurement workflow reads our pass-through detail. Mark-ups, change orders, retainer fees — all line-itemed for client-side audit, no separate procurement spreadsheet to maintain.
  • Client-side brand DAMs — Bynder, Adobe Experience Manager, Aprimo Your client holds the masters in their DAM. Your agency holds the work-product, the strategy docs, the case-study rights, the creative process — separately encryption-keyed via Vault 88 Enterprise. Client divorce doesn't take agency IP.
The whole ecosystem

The agency sits at the center of everyone.

Clients, production houses, talent and creators, media partners, finance, and the causes clients back. Mix-IP puts them all on one record and makes the hard part simple: contracts, rights, splits, mark-ups, and usage tracked in the product, AI-assisted — no separate legal or admin team. Everyone the agency works with is on the record, and the record keeps them all straight.

Clients & brand marketers

Each client sees only their engagement — briefs in, approvals live, a procurement audit that answers itself.

Production partners

Houses commissioned with the mark-up captured on the record — crew, rates, and releases already on their side.

Talent, influencers & creators

Signed through the Talent Library with reps in the ecosystem — usage windows and splits on the record, paid on every event.

Media partners

Broadcasters, out-of-home, platforms, and retail trafficked from one desk — each with the right cut, license, and flight dates, usage tracked.

Legal, finance & procurement

Pass-through, mark-up, receipts, and tax forms on one record — the margin reports itself and the audit is already assembled.

Causes & foundations

When a client backs a cause, its foundation joins the split as a payee — funded automatically, credited on the record.

Real agencies, real numbers

What ships when the agency holds every client.

Three agencies that ran their multi-client portfolios end-to-end through Mix-IP. Concurrent client counts, work-product retention horizons, and creator-settlement currencies from real engagement workflows.

Multi-client portfolio

Mainline Agency — Q3 client portfolio

Creative agency · 4 concurrent clients · 14 creator commissions · 3 currencies

4 Clients live
14 Creator commissions
~36h Brief to commission

All four engagements ran in parallel without a Friday-afternoon reconciliation. Agency margin reported on Monday morning, not the following Friday.

Work-product retention

Counterpane Agency — athletic-brand retainer

Multi-year retainer · case-study rights protected · access-isolated

5yr Retention horizon
12 Deliverables held
0 Rights gaps audited

When the client's brand director rotated and their replacement reopened the work-product retention clause, the agency surfaced the original signed boundaries inside 4 hours. Case-study rights upheld without a legal escalation.

International settlement

Lattice Creative — global commissions

Creators across 11 countries · 60+ currency rails · one Friday batch

11 Countries live
60+ Settlement currencies
0 Re-keys at issue

Mexico City sound designer paid in pesos. São Paulo editor paid in reais. Berlin colorist paid in euros. All three settled in the same Friday batch — no separate rail logins, no FX-reconciliation Tuesday.

All three agencies are illustrative composites pending Jonathan-redlined customer stories and a legal pass on the fictional names.

Industry-grade trust

The compliance answer your client procurement will demand.

Agencies running multi-client portfolios — with creator commissions, work-product retention, mark-up pass-through, and per-client Vault shares — need more than a shared drive and a CFO spreadsheet. Mix-IP ships the controls client procurement, legal, and IT actually verify before they sign a master services agreement — and the controls the agency itself relies on to keep its own IP separate from each client's.

Enterprise-grade security Live

Encryption in transit and at rest, and access controls, in place today. Independent security certification is underway — and we work directly with enterprise and procurement teams on security review.

Encrypted end to end Live

Agency work-product (strategy docs, creative process, case-study rights, retainer-protected deliverables) is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access-controlled per client engagement. Client divorce doesn't take agency IP — the registered record proves your team authored it, whoever the client works with next. Customer-managed keys — talk to us.

DPA-ready Live

GDPR-compliant Data Processing Addendum signed at workspace creation. Standard Contractual Clauses for cross-border transfers (the EU creator commissioned by the AMER agency for the APAC client). EU data residency on request.

Anchored provenance Live

Every IPR registration carries a qualified timestamp (RFC 3161 / eIDAS) and anchors its SHA-256 hash to a public chain. Provenance proves work-product authorship through the agency, not just through the client — useful when a competing agency claims similar creative, the chain proves your team got there first.

Security controls are in place today; independent certification is underway. We support enterprise and procurement security reviews directly — talk to our team.

Agencies

Run your next engagement through Mix-IP.

Hold every client. Hold every creator. Hold the agency — and the agency margin — across all of them.

Includes Vault 88 for per-client isolation · Pro Transfer App for masters across every client engagement · Wise + Stripe rails for creator settlements in 60+ currencies.
