How it works

Up and running in minutes

No onboarding call required. Set up your studio, invite your team, and start managing projects the same day.

1

Submit brief

Clients submit briefs through your branded portal — no account needed on their end.

2

Manage project

Assign work, track progress, and keep clients updated — all in one place.

3

Get paid

Send invoices, collect payment, and reconcile — without leaving RunStudio.

Your current stack is held together with duct tape

Every creative business hits this wall. The tools that got you started can't keep up. Client details live in five places, invoices get lost, and your team coordinates through a WhatsApp group that's 3,000 messages deep.

Built different

The Moat

Inter-business collaboration

Sub-contract an editor. Co-pitch a client with another agency. Shared quotes with automatic payment splitting. When two businesses on RunStudio work together, neither can leave without disrupting the other. That's not a feature — it's a network effect.

Client Experience

Branded client portal

Your clients see your brand, not ours. They submit briefs, review work, approve deliverables, and pay invoices through a portal that looks like yours. No account needed on their end.

Revenue

Payments built in

Stripe-powered invoicing baked into every project. No separate tool, no manual reconciliation. Clients pay through the same portal where they approve work.

Teams

Right-sized for your crew

Not built for solopreneurs chasing leads. Not built for 500-person enterprises. RunStudio is purpose-built for the 1-to-20 person creative business that's outgrown spreadsheets but doesn't need SAP.

UK First

Made for how you work

GBP pricing, UK payment rails, terminology that makes sense. Built by a Bristol founder who knows that "creative agency" means something different in Shoreditch than in San Francisco.

What studios say

Our clients used to be our inbox

★★★★★

"We went from managing 12 projects across WhatsApp, email, and three Google Sheets — to managing them all in one place. The client portal alone is worth it."

Jamie T.
Video production studio, Manchester
★★★★★

"Getting paid used to take 3 emails and a chase call. Now clients pay through the same portal where they approve the work. We get paid 12 days faster on average."

📸
Sophie M.
Photography studio, London
★★★★★

"We sub-contract editors and designers on half our projects. RunStudio's collaboration features mean the handoffs actually work. It's like it was designed for exactly how we operate."
