Milo
Overview · Prepared for Arran Cooper-Moxam
we are social

The short versionFractured is
fixable. Start
by asking.

Fractured was the word you used, and it is the normal state of an agency that grew faster than its systems. Social platforms, paid media, Google, Microsoft, the research stack, finance and the client tools all hold a piece of the picture and none of them talk. Milo is one layer across all of it, and a box anyone can type a question into. Our engineers build every connection, including the awkward ones.

Three things, and that is most of it.

Milo is not another dashboard product that someone has to build and then keep alive. It is a layer over the systems you already run, and a question box on top of it. The three steps below are a sequence: the question becomes the dashboard, and the dashboard becomes the thing that sends itself.

First · Ask

Plain English in, answer out

Typed the way you would say it to a colleague. The answer comes back in seconds with the underlying rows attached, so it can be checked rather than believed.

"Which of our creators drove actual saves and shares last quarter, not just views?"
Then · Pin

Dashboards built by anyone

Any answer can be pinned, and it becomes a live view that refreshes itself. A client lead builds their own account dashboard without a data team, a developer or a ticket.

This is the part that tends to surprise people. No build queue.
After that · Automate

A question becomes a routine

Once a question is worth asking every week, schedule it. The Monday performance summary writes and sends itself, and alerts fire when a number moves past a line you set.

Delivered into email, Slack, Teams or WhatsApp.

Ninety seconds is enough.

Rather than describe the question box any further, here it is working.

The shift

From exports and decks to a question and an answer.

Legacy systems that have not kept pace with the business is the most common thing we walk into. It is rarely one broken tool. It is twelve good ones that were never asked to agree with each other.

How it usually works
  • Every platform reports on itself and nothing beyond itself
  • Someone exports, someone pivots, someone rebuilds the same deck monthly
  • Each team keeps a private version of the numbers, and they disagree
  • Time, fees and delivery live nowhere near campaign performance
  • A simple cross client question takes days and costs a person their week
  • By the time the answer lands, the decision has already been made
With Milo
  • One layer across every platform, market and client
  • Ask in plain English, get an answer in seconds with sources attached
  • One set of numbers, permissioned, so teams argue about the decision instead
  • Commercial and creative performance sit in the same view
  • Anyone can pin an answer as a live dashboard, no ticket required
  • The recurring questions answer themselves on a schedule
What we connect

Every system on both sides of the work.

This is a list of what Milo connects, not a guess at what you run. You will tell us the real stack once we are past an NDA. Plug and play sources connect in minutes. Databases, warehouses and custom APIs take our engineers one to three days. Either way it is our build, not a project for your team.

Same habit, your own numbers behind it

Gemini and Claude are already approved and in use across the business, so nobody needs teaching how to type a question into a box. The limit is that neither of them can see a single one of your numbers. Milo is that same way of asking, with the agency's actual data behind it, permissioned per person and with sources attached to every answer.

Not a rip and replace

Nothing gets switched off

Milo reads from the systems you keep. Firefly, Runway and the rest of the creative stack are untouched, Power BI and Looker keep working, and the finance system stays where it is. If you later want the reporting to live in one place, that becomes a choice rather than a migration you have to fund first.

The walkthrough

Six questions from six different desks.

These are the questions an agency asks and then waits days for. They are illustrations of what Milo does, not results from your data. Week one of a pilot is where they get asked of the real thing.

New business
"Pull everything we have ever done in this category, with the results, before Thursday's pitch."
Case evidence, performance and spend gathered across markets in one pass. Turns a two day scramble across inboxes and drives into a question asked in the taxi.
Client services
"How is this account actually performing, across every platform and market, right now?"
One live account view instead of five platform exports stitched together. The client lead walks into the review already knowing what the client is about to ask.
Strategy
"Which creative formats are outperforming for us this quarter, and where does that hold across markets?"
Pattern across the whole portfolio rather than one brand's anecdote. Gives planning an evidence base that refreshes itself instead of a deck rebuilt every quarter.
Research & insights
"Show me how the conversation moved before and after we launched, and what moved with it."
Listening data joined to what actually shipped and what it cost. The bit that is normally three tools and a manual timeline becomes a single answer.
Finance
"Which accounts are running over the hours we sold, and since when?"
Time and fees against scope, by account and by team. Surfaces the drift while it can still be fixed rather than at the end of a quarter.
Business operations
"Where does this number come from, and who is allowed to see it?"
Every answer carries its sources, and access is set by role. A person sees their accounts and nothing else, and every question asked is logged.
Before it gets anywhere near the business

Built to survive the review you would run on it.

You assess what comes in, so here is the pack rather than a promise. Milo is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified and independently penetration tested. Access is role based down to the individual, client data stays separated, and an NDA goes in place before we connect anything at all. Send us your security questionnaire and DPA and we will come back with the sub processor list, the data handling detail and the certifications in full.

How a pilot runs

One month, one team, real data.

Not a rollout. A narrow slice, chosen so it proves the point quickly. One or two accounts and a handful of sources is usually enough, because the hard part is never the volume, it is making systems that were never designed to agree with each other agree.

Week 1

Connect

Credentials in, sources connected, our engineers doing the building. Read only or sandbox access first if that is easier to get signed off.

Week 2

Join it up

Platforms, markets and clients mapped so they compare properly. This is where cross account questions become possible at all.

Week 3

Real people, real questions

New business and client services ask it whatever they want. Dashboards get pinned by the people who need them. Scheduled reports get switched on.

Week 4

Go or no go

An honest review of what it answered well and what it did not. Nothing to unwind if the answer is no.

Social agency · Multi brand

Coolr had exactly this problem.

Coolr runs social and influencer campaigns for Burger King, Deliveroo, Heineken and 15+ other major brands. Reporting across every account used to take a full day. With Milo it takes under 15 minutes, with engagement rates, content ROI, influencer reach and spend efficiency in one view.

Commercials are straightforward and we will put them in front of you whenever you want them, but they are not the interesting part of this conversation yet.

Milo × we are social

Bring three questions. We will answer them live.

You have new business and client services in the diary already. Ask each of them the question they most wish they could answer on the spot, then send the three best ones over and we will put them straight into the box. Thirty minutes is enough.
