Digital Horizont - Agency package case study

How we manage 5 clients from a single dashboard with the SEENALYZE AI Agency Package

Introduction: The challenge of scalability

In spring 2023 the Budapest-based Digital Horizont Agency faced a familiar problem: as the client portfolio grew, efficiency dropped sharply. Founder and director Tamás Szabó worked 12-14 hours a day while the team remained overworked.

"We had five clients but it felt like twenty-five," recalls Tamás. "Each client had separate tool stacks and reports, and I constantly feared cross-posting the wrong content for the wrong brand."

The breaking point came when a cross-posting error nearly cost their biggest client. The team decided to rethink operations and find a unified, agency-centric solution.

Scale of the problem: In numbers

Research shows 89% of Hungarian digital agencies report serious challenges in multi-client management. Digital Horizont's situation matched the industry:

Time usage issues

  • Weekly reporting time: 18 hours (3-4 hours per client)
  • Context switching: 2-3 hours wasted per day
  • Debugging and fixes: 6-8 hours per week
  • Client comms coordination: 8 hours per week
  • Admin tasks: 7 hours per week

Efficiency issues

  • Cross-posting errors: in every 7th campaign
  • Brand mixing: 2-3 cases per month
  • Missed posts: 5-8 times per week
  • Duplicate work: 35% of total work time
  • Client dissatisfaction: 67% churn risk

Financial impact

  • Cost per client: ~USD 2,500/mo management
  • Profit margin: only 18%
  • Overtime costs: HUF 890,000/month extra
  • Lost opportunities: rejecting 3-4 prospects due to capacity limits

The turning point: SEENALYZE AI Agency Package

In September 2023 the team chose the SEENALYZE AI Agency Package. Three key reasons drove the decision:

The package allows flexible credit allocation:

  • Central credit pool: 10,000 credits/month
  • Dynamic allocation: per-client as needed
  • Realtime monitoring: usage tracking
  • Auto alerts: on overuse
  • Scalable expansion: supports portfolio growth

3. White-label reporting and branding

The platform reflects the Digital Horizont brand everywhere:

            Practical guide: First steps

            1. Audit your current situation

            • How many hours do you spend on reporting each week?
            • How often do cross-posting errors occur?
            • What's your client churn?

            2. Calculate potential ROI

            • Time savings: weekly hours × hourly rate × 52 weeks
            • Error reduction: value of lost clients
            • Efficiency gains: capacity for more clients

            3. Plan the transition

            • Pilot project: start with 2-3 clients
            • Team training: focus on change management
            • Measurement: set KPIs to track success

            4. Implement gradually

            • Month 1: workspace setup
            • Month 2: configure automations
            • Month 3: optimise reporting
            • Months 4-6: fine-tune the whole system

            The future of digital marketing has already begun. The only question is: when will you join?
