Rather than using a disparate set of ad hoc tools to communicate between team members and across different organisations, Farmerswife explains that Cirkus centralises the processes “ensuring that communication remains seamless throughout the course of a project, planning and tracking all components and keeping everyone in the loop.”

"Cirkus is the culmination of over two decades work developing solutions at the forefront of project management and planning in the media industry," comments CEO, Stephen Elliott. "It reflects the way that companies work, with large internal teams needing to work efficiently and seamlessly with external freelancers and consultants and lets them scale and flex to manage production cycles and optimise workflows and processes throughout their organisation.”

With free pricing available for small teams and freelancers, media organisations with complex workflows and large staffing numbers can expect pricing to start at £25 per member. A private cloud/on-prem version is also available for those looking for complete control of their data and security.

Cirkus allows users to schedule, assign and manage projects and tasks; track status and report time; and collaborate efficiently with anyone, anywhere by coordinating resources and sharing files in one central hub. Power users can create custom templates, allowing them to reuse and refine successful workflows, instantly improving efficiency and optimising throughput to create a leaner, more agile organisation.
