Lakewood NJ-based Creative Manager, Inc., provider of Creative Manager Pro, Ad Agency Software for the Creative and Design industries, announced today the upcoming release of Creative Media Manager, it's new Media Buying module as part of improvements in its new version 7.1 due out in Mid August.
With the new functionality, Creative Manager Pro completes its goal of being the only complete end to end product for running an ad agency. Several ad agency systems deal with media management and job cost through billing and accounting. Others focus only on operational needs such as Digital Asset Management, Project Management, CRM, and client extranet. Creative Manager Pro is now the first and only ad agency software that addresses the needs of all of the areas that an ad agency requires.
No installation or conversion will be necessary, and the functions of Creative Media Manager are free to all users of Creative Project Manager and Creative Manager Pro.
Ron Ause, Director of Marketing for Creative Manager, Inc., said "Our new Media Buying Module is being implemented on the heels of the new interface enhancements that were released just last month. Our growing client list is getting used to a monthly dose of updates and we're not about to disappoint them, as we continue to invest in our clients, by improving the system, month after month."
Dubbed Creative Media Manager, the Media Buying Module will accommodate insertion orders, broadcast orders, media estimates, media schedule views and the billing and pre-billing of media among other enhancements. Integration with Strata Marketing's media systems is planned for the next version of Creative Media Manager.
When asked about the new features, Ause said "Ad agency software has never been better! Our clients, prospects, even industry consultants have said that this is the Best Ad Agency Software they've ever seen. We're taking the market by storm, and our clients keep benefiting from constant improvement. We continue to take clients away from Clients and Profits, Adman, Advantage and others. And it's fun to be the leader!"
