Overview

A single workflow for booking creatives, scaled to the way each client works.

Per-Project clients can run smaller jobs without heavy setup. Enterprise clients get the team workspace, costing controls, defaults, and estimate approvals needed for continuous production.

Client types

Two client paths, one booking platform

The same creative marketplace supports both lighter individual jobs and larger operating teams.

Per-Project clients

For users trialling Blackbook, scoping smaller jobs, or booking production work without the need for team members, costing defaults, or approval tooling.

✓Create and manage individual job briefs.
✓Invite and book creatives for a contained production.
✓Use standard platform fees per confirmed job.

Enterprise clients

For corporations and production teams that continuously book creatives and need a repeatable operating layer across estimates, approvals, team access, and job requirements.

✓Manage team members and roles in the client workspace.
✓Build estimates with production costing and organisation defaults.
✓Approve estimates before generating job requirements.
