Introducing Mediawork, the complete workflow CRM+ERP for media production

The way media productions source services hasn't fundamentally changed in years. Finding the right post house, freelance creative, or distribution partner is still too often driven by fragmented spreadsheets, long email threads, and personal networks that don't always scale.

Meanwhile, production vendors are still using several systems to quote, schedule, cost track, and communicate - both internally and with their clients.

Today, we're excited to introduce Mediawork - a new platform built to bring clarity, transparency, and efficiency to how media productions and vendors work together.

A smarter way to run production projects

At its core, Mediawork is a workflow tool for media production. It combines Customer Relationship Management (CRM) with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), all designed around the fundamentals of producing film, TV, and commercials. It works for freelance creatives and it works for teams - post houses, distribution vendors, creative companies, and other suppliers in this space.

Importantly, it also works for clients. Studios and post supervisors can browse our directory of vendors and submit requests for quotes directly. Moreover, clients get a realtime view of scheduling and cost tracking. With realtime messaging included, it's a really simple and seamless way of sharing information.

Mediawork for vendors

Mediawork isn't just about winning work - it's about managing it properly once the job starts.

Vendors can choose to upgrade to Mediawork Pro. Pro unlocks tools designed for real production workflows:

• Scheduler - plan and manage awarded work
• Cost tracker - track budgets, actuals, and changes as work progresses

Vendors stay in control of their delivery, while productions gain visibility without needing constant updates.

Mediawork for clients

Mediawork connects media productions - film, television, and commercial projects - with a wide range of vendors, including post-production houses, distribution suppliers, and freelance creatives.

Productions can:

• Create and send structured tenders (quote requests) in minutes
• Invite suppliers directly from the Mediawork directory
• Receive, review, and compare bids in one place
• Award work with a clear, auditable process

Instead of juggling inboxes and spreadsheets, everything related to the tender lives in one shared system.

Shared visibility that builds trust

One of the biggest challenges in media production is keeping everyone aligned after the contract is awarded.

With Mediawork:

• Vendors manage their schedules and costs in one place
• Productions see a shared view of timelines and spend
• Everyone works from the same source of truth

This reduces surprises, cuts down on admin, and helps professional relationships run more smoothly.

Fair, transparent pricing

Mediawork operates on a simple and transparent model: vendors can subscribe on a per-seat basis to get access to additional features. There are no costs to receive tenders, and no fees for productions to send them.

Why we built Mediawork

Mediawork was founded in the United Kingdom by myself, Graham G. Hughes, a technical innovator in the film distribution space, and Roy Servis, an industry stalwart with a wealth of experience in Tech Ops.

We built this platform to fix the painful processes around procurement and project management. We're open to feedback and we'll work to make Mediawork the most comprehensive solution for media production management.
