MN Studio OS
The brains and the workhorse behind the studio.
MN Studio OS is the operating system we built to run the business. It brings our CRM, projects, growth and research together in one place, with AI assistants taking on the routine work inside it.
We polish and improve it every day. It never limits what we can do for you — it frees more of our time to do it.
In daily use
You feel it, even if you never see it.
You’ll never need to log in to anything. But you’ll notice the difference.
Faster turnaround
Briefs, schedules and proofs move without waiting on admin.
Clearer communication
You know what’s happening, what’s next and what we need from you.
Nothing falls through the cracks
Every enquiry, decision, file and deadline is recorded and followed up.
A complete record
Files, specifications and history are kept, so reprints and repeat projects are simple.
What’s inside
One record, from first enquiry to final payment.
At the heart of the OS is a CRM built around the way creative work really flows. Instructions can be given in plain English: the system helps analyse information, suggest next actions and keep work up to date — with a person deciding what happens.
- CRM
- Enquiries, clients, quotes, jobs, briefs and invoices — one record from first contact to final payment.
- Projects
- Stages, sign-offs and deadlines for every job, with the next action always clear.
- Growth
- Finding and following up new work, tracking opportunities and building partnerships and referrals.
- MN Lab
- Research and development — where the system itself is tested and improved.
The AI desks
Specialist assistants. Led by people.
Inside the OS, AI assistants work at dedicated desks, each with one job to do well. They prepare, organise and check; people direct the work and make every decision that matters.
Being introduced progressively
Welcome & kick-off
Gets every new client and project off to a clear start — brief, contacts, schedule and next steps in place from day one.
Account management
Keeps track of where your project stands and what’s next, so updates are timely and nothing waits on a reminder.
The art director’s desk
A set of design assistants that helps explore more ideas, layouts and variations early — before a designer chooses the direction.
Chief of staff
Keeps deadlines, approvals and actions moving across every project, so nothing stalls.
The auditor
A final check on names, numbers, dates, specifications and files before anything reaches you — or the press.
Understanding the tools
We don’t just use our tools. We understand them.
MN Studio OS runs on modern, secure cloud tooling. We keep learning how it works underneath — the code, the methods and the limits, including JavaScript and the systems behind modern websites and apps — so we get the best from our tools rather than using them blindly.
Your files and your data
How data is handled varies by service, and our data-management policy is being finalised. If your project has confidentiality requirements, tell us at the start and we’ll agree how your files are handled before any work begins.
From our studio, to yours.
The systems we built for ourselves are growing into tools for other businesses. See what’s in development in MN Lab.
