This blows Canva straight out of the water. Canva can get the job done but it’s clunky. This is so much more intuitive.
Slate for Agencies
Every client on brand. Every retainer more profitable.
GSD&M, SPORTFIVE, MikeWorldWide, and Sport Design Australia run client work through Slate. Each client gets its own Brand Hub, templates, and users; junior staff ship work that looks like the creative director made it; clients review the live project by link with no seat and no export. One tool in place of Canva, CapCut, Premiere, and Frame.io, and a better client experience than any of them.
How Slate does it
Build the client’s brand system, then hand them the keys
Set up a client’s Brand Hub once: fonts, colors, logo rules, presets, templates from their PSDs. Your team creates in it, the client’s team creates in it, and nobody can drift. It’s the deliverable that makes you the agency they can’t leave.
Clients review by link. No seat, no export.
Send the live project. The client comments on the exact frame in the browser, the editor fixes it in place, and nobody re-uploads to a review tool. The feedback loop leaves email and the group chat.
Tentpole campaign activations, at volume
Super Bowl week, a product launch, a seasonal push: dozens of assets across placements and markets from one locked campaign template, with real-time content from the activation itself made on the phone. The campaign system ships before the campaign does.
Ask Rio for the first cut.
“Cut this into five clips for Reels in the client’s style.” Rio edits real footage on a real timeline, in each client’s brand.
Where Slate comes in the most handy is being able to make real-time content better, especially since 85 percent of the time we’re not on site.
It was gamechanging using Slate at the Super Bowl.
More on Slate for agencies
Why do agencies use Slate?
Agencies manage many brands with few hands and no margin for an off-brand post. Slate gives each client its own Brand Hub, templates, and presets, keeps review inside the project, and replaces the Canva, CapCut, and Premiere mix with one tool the team and the client both trust. GSD&M, SPORTFIVE, MikeWorldWide, and Sport Design Australia run client work through it.How do agencies price Slate into a retainer?
Most package it as part of the social or content retainer, since the client gets a faster, more consistent feed and a better review experience out of it. Some sports-marketing agencies sell Slate-powered game-day services to clubs. Talk to us about partner terms.Do clients need seats to review work?
No. Clients review the live project by link in the browser, comment on the exact frame, and approve, without a Slate seat and without an export. Add them as a Viewer if they want ongoing access.Can we keep competing clients separate?
Yes. Each Brand Hub has its own assets, templates, and users, so team members only see the brands they work on.Is it safe for client work?
