Lytho Creative Workflow Review 2022 -

What is Lytho Workflow?

Lytho Workflow is a workflow solution that empowers marketing and creative teams to achieve better content outcomes. With Lytho Workflow, your team has control and visibility into project progress within a single tool. Intake project requests, launch projects and allocate resources, track tasks and deadlines, share feedback with online proofing, manage the approval process, and report on key productivity metrics. The platform helps businesses streamline admin tasks and collaborate more effectively from end to end.

Lytho Workflow is a creative project management software built specifically for the needs of creative and marketing teams. Combining the most powerful elements of task and workflow management with the collaborative features of online proofing, ignite helps teams get more content produced – faster. Do the work you love, automate the rest.

The key components of Lytho Workflow are Request Intake, Project Management, Review & Approval, and Reporting. From the initial creative brief, ignite’s robust request forms ensure designers have all the right information they need to kick off projects promptly. Project management offers impactful features like task management, time tracking, Gantt charts, dependencies, notifications, and more. When designers have proofs ready, they can submit them for review directly from within Adobe CC.

Automatic proof routing ensures the right stakeholders provide feedback and approval at the right time. Team members can digitally mark up proofs, leave comments, use @mentioning, and compare versions, fostering collaboration and faster approval cycles overall. At any time during the project cycle, custom reporting provides insights and transparency on key productivity metrics. Save and share reports with team members to analyze your creative project management.

Whether you’re a designer, project manager, marketer, or team leader, Lytho Workflow is built for your success. Streamline workflows. Speed up projects. Break down barriers. Accomplish more together with Lytho Workflow.

What do you like best?

I think the most helpful part about Lytho is that all the requisite information is in one place. The overall project has separate and specific tasks. There is an easy way to contact/tag other project members so they can see all the information at once instead of just an email with a vague overview.

I really like being able to use the campaign feature. Being able to organize select projects for a specific campaign so that the copy and creative can be cohesive really helps save time and money.

The intake process (custom form), task creation inside a project, and the proofing process. These features are easy to use and significantly contribute to efficient time and project management. No more herding cats to track down proof sign-off or wondering what step is next in the process. Lytho takes care of all this for you!

Lytho has been a game changer for our marketing and communications department. We were working with manila folders, hardcopies and emailing PDFs. Now our entire work flow is completely online. The system enables our team to work remotely with ease. All feedback, communication, files, and invoicing is now contained in each electronic project. The ease of use for our team and our departmental users is seamless and easy!

What do you dislike?

The only downside is getting users to adopt the change for them. One they use it a few time, they love it!

The tool is highly robust and can do many things that may not affect your company or your process and may seem overwhelming. However, working with your dedicated Lytho contact can ensure you become comfortable with the platform and only use what tools work for you best.

I think the only downside of using the system is that there is so much to learn. You can do pretty much anything and everything that is desired, but you have to be willing to research how to do it. I felt like it was great training, but still so much to learn even after being in the system for a year.

I don’t like how the dashboard is set up so that you see just the latest individual task. I would prefer to have the ability to go to a project straight from the dashboard instead of to the individual task. The task doesn’t contain all the project information for that task.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The hardest part of pulling together the separate people within a project is getting everyone to understand the end goal. Lytho gives us the entire scope of the project in one place. This benefits me because I merely need to tag someone within the task and they can figure out what is going on. I don’t need to send an extensive, descriptive email to each project member for each task.

One of our biggest concerns was how to keep select projects cohesive with copy and creative. Our company separates internet and print needs, so it was challenging to make sure everything matched. With Lytho we can almost guarantee that everything will flow together.

Lytho is solving our project management and materials sign-off process. It allows each user to have a custom view of what projects they are in charge of and allows a collaborative and SINGLE SOURCE for proofing. ALL Comments, all changes, all time stamped by stake-holders ensuring confidence in the designer the piece is good to go.

Lytho has transformed our creative work for and feedback on projects.

Pros

“Proof is EASY and the team can see if/when a reviewer views a proof. Tiers make it super easy for your proof to automatically flow through a large group of reviewers.”
“They are constantly improving it and seeking user suggestions and feedback which contributes to how they continue to get it right and continue to improve the program.”
“We love how this software has streamlined our process. We had previously used word/excel/email to track our creative team intake.”
“Feeling supported by the company makes me confident we made a great decision to incorporate inMotion Ignite into our workflow.”

Cons

“Unless there was a setting somewhere I missed, it did not sync with my mobile device which is where I primarily check email.”
“Other programs will have drop down menus or columns with all it’s pre-filtered lists labeled for you. InMotion does not have that feature at first glance.”
“The only downside is the need to submit a service ticket when adding or changing request forms. Having more autonomy over this feature has been requested.”
“The only thing I don’t like about Ignite (and I’ve heard this complaint from a number of sales reps) is not being able to review a proof using a cell phone.”
