✦ A working instrument for the modern agency
Brief →
Lumen replaces the spreadsheet rituals, the four-tab handoffs, and the Monday-morning status meetings with a single instrument. You watch the entire fleet — clients, retainers, hours, margin — from one console.

We built Lumen because we kept losing hours to the in-between: the cross-checking, the resending, the asking-around. An agency is a living instrument — it deserves an instrument panel.
I. Instruments
Six dials. Each one tuned to the way agencies actually run — retainers, handoffs, margin, fleet capacity. None of them optional, none of them gated behind a higher tier.
Workflow
Kanban, list, timeline. Drag tasks, set deadlines, assign owners. Every view of the work, none of the duct tape.
Surface
Branded portals with approval workflows. Give clients visibility without giving them the keys to the cockpit.
Telemetry
Margin per client, profitability per project, pipeline at a glance. The numbers your finance lead has been asking for.
Resource
Capacity-aware allocation. See who is overloaded, who is under, and plan a sprint without the chaos.
Engine
Automate the boring layer. Status changes, notifications, approvals, handoffs — set the rule, walk away.
Control
Fine-grained roles and access boundaries. Keep contractors in their lane and leadership in the loop.
II. Field Notes
From the operators who switched first.
“We dropped four tools in the first week. Basecamp, Harvest, Monday, and a spreadsheet we were embarrassed to show anyone.”
— Sarah K.
COO · Bright Pixel
“Finally a CRM that understands retainers aren't one-off projects. The revenue tracking alone paid for itself in the first month.”
— Marcus L.
Founder · Eleven Studios
“Our PMs went from spending two hours on Monday morning status updates to zero. The automations handle everything end-to-end.”
