Built by Emerald Beacon to run its own client work

The operating system for agencies

Every client, every meeting, every number. One helm.

Emerald Helm is where an agency runs its clients: the work, the scorecard and weekly meeting, recorded meetings that update the plan themselves, video walkthroughs, and a portal your clients can open without a login.

One login in place of the five tools your team juggles today

  • Task managerSpaces, lists, boards, calendar
  • Scorecard softwareScorecard, rocks, issues, weekly meeting
  • Meeting recorderTranscripts that file their own to-dos
  • Screen recorderVideo walkthroughs with summaries
  • Status-report deckA live client portal

Agencies rarely sink in one storm.
They take on water one leak at a time.

Each client lives in five places

Tasks in one app, walkthrough videos in another, meeting notes in a doc, the scorecard in a spreadsheet. Nobody on the team can see a whole account at once.

Decisions drift away after the call

What was agreed on Tuesday is gone by Friday unless someone types it up and turns it into tasks. On a busy week, nobody does.

Clients can't see the progress

So they ask for updates, and your best people spend Friday afternoon building status reports instead of doing the work.

000°The Fleet

Every client on one wall.

Each client gets a card with its health, stage, services, open and overdue work, and this week's scorecard. Open one and you're in that client's HQ, with nothing else in the way.

  • Health is worked out for you. Three overdue tasks, or a third of this week's measurables off track, and the card turns red.
  • Drag to set the order. The same order runs down the client rail on every page.
  • Filter the fleet by stage, by what's off track, or by the accounts you lead.

090°The Bridge

Run every client's weekly meeting without a second app.

Each client carries its own scorecard, rocks and issues, and a guided weekly meeting that keeps to ninety minutes.

  • Scorecard. Thirteen weeks of measurables, each cell green or red against its goal the moment you type the number.
  • Rocks. Quarterly priorities with an owner, a due date, and on track, off track or done.
  • Issues. Rank the top three, then solve one: the solution becomes a task in that client's meeting to-dos.
  • Meeting mode. Check-in to wrap-up in timed steps you can set, with the right data on screen at each one.

180°Captain's Log

Record the meeting. The follow-ups file themselves.

Hit record in the room or on a Zoom, Teams, Meet or Slack call. No bot joins. When you stop, Emerald Helm names the speakers, writes the summary, and puts what was decided where it belongs for that client.

  • To-dos, rocks, issues, scorecard numbers and headlines land on the client's scorecard, rocks and issues on their own.
  • Every change can be undone from the meeting page, one line at a time.
  • Ask the meeting a question and get answers with timestamps you can click to hear the moment.
  • Up to four hours per recording, uploaded in pieces as you go so a crash can't cost you the call.

225°Signal

Walk clients through the work on video.

Record your screen, a window or a tab with your camera in a bubble, and send the link. It files itself under the client, with a transcript, captions, a summary and chapters written for you.

  • Up to 45 minutes per video, with pause, restart and a pop-out control panel.
  • Captions and a transcript that follow playback and jump to any line you click.
  • On the client's portal by default, or shared with its own public link.

270°The Harbor

Give clients a window, not a login.

Turn on a client's portal and send one link. They see their tasks, scorecard, rocks, videos and the meetings you choose to share, always up to date, read-only.

  • Internal talk stays internal. Activity history and who's assigned never leave the building.
  • Lock it with a passcode when a link needs to travel.
  • Share just one thing instead: a single list, task, video or meeting.

315°Rigging

And the everyday work, handled properly.

Under every client sits a full task system, organized the way agencies already think: by service.

Spaces, folders and lists

Each client is a space. Each service, SEO, ads, web, content, social, is a folder with its own lists.

List, board and calendar

The same work in the view that suits the moment, with your own statuses for each space.

Tasks with everything attached

Rich descriptions, subtasks, checklists, files, links between tasks, comments and a full history.

Permissions that make sense

Full edit, edit, comment or view only, per space. Private spaces for the work clients shouldn't see.

Built in an agency's engine room.

Emerald Helm was built by Emerald Beacon to run its own client accounts. Every feature started as a problem on a real one: a meeting whose decisions went missing, a client who wanted to see progress, a scorecard stuck in a spreadsheet.

Take the helm.

Emerald Helm is in private beta with a small group of agencies. Tell us about yours and we'll email you an invite as places open.
