The problem it solves

Marketing and creative agencies field RFPs constantly, but building each proposal from a blank page pulls account leads off client work for hours. This agent ingests the RFP, mines your closed-won HubSpot history for comparable deals and pricing, and assembles a structured first-pass draft with a missing-info checklist. The account lead refines and sends instead of starting from scratch.

Who it's for

  • Account leads and client services directors at marketing or creative agencies
  • Agency principals and founders who personally review high-value bids
  • New-business and pitch teams responding to 10-100 RFPs a year
  • Digital, content, paid media, and integrated agencies with deal history in HubSpot
  • Branding and rebrand studios that pitch project and retainer work

What it does

  1. 1

    Ingest and parse the RFP

    Accepts the bid as pasted text, PDF, email, or a direct brief and extracts client, project type, scope, deliverables, timeline, and budget.

  2. 2

    Enrich and log the deal in HubSpot

    Pulls the associated contact and company record for context, then creates or updates the deal before any drafting begins.

  3. 3

    Pull comparable past work

    Searches your closed-won HubSpot history for the 2-3 most similar engagements and surfaces their scope, pricing, team, and case study assets as the anchor.

  4. 4

    Assemble the first-pass proposal

    Drafts a complete structured proposal (executive summary, scope, approach, team, timeline, investment, why-us, next steps) in your agency's voice using your template library.

  5. 5

    Generate the missing-info checklist

    Produces an internal checklist of every scope gap, pricing assumption, timeline risk, team assignment, and approval needed before the proposal can go out.

  6. 6

    Open the Asana proposal task

    Creates a task in your proposals project, attaches the draft and checklist, assigns the account lead, adds subtasks per open item, and flags high-value bids for principal review.

  7. 7

    Track status back in HubSpot

    Moves the deal to the proposal stage, logs value and version, sets follow-up reminders, and records closed-won/lost outcomes to sharpen future comparable lookups.

Key benefits

  • Cut proposal turnaround from hours of blank-page work to a quick review-and-send
  • Price every bid against real closed-won comparables instead of guesswork
  • Never send a proposal with hidden scope, timeline, or pricing gaps
  • Keep HubSpot deal stages, values, and follow-ups current without manual updates
  • Free account leads to refine the pitch and client relationship, not assemble documents
  • Capture every win and loss so the next proposal draws on a richer history

Sample use cases

A prospect emails an RFP for a six-month content retainer with a vague budget.

The agent parses the brief, finds two comparable closed-won retainers, drafts a tiered investment section, and flags the unconfirmed budget on the checklist for the account lead.

A rebrand bid lands the day before the new-business lead goes on leave.

The agent assembles the full proposal, opens an Asana task assigned to a backup lead with subtasks for each open item, and sets the due date ahead of the RFP deadline.

A $250k integrated campaign RFP comes in above the agency's high-value threshold.

The agent drafts the proposal, tags the Asana task, and notifies the principal for review before anything reaches the client.

A previously pitched client comes back with a new project.

The agent enriches the deal from prior HubSpot interactions, reuses the relevant approach and team sections, and produces a tailored draft in minutes.

Key integrations

  • HubSpot

    CRM for deal history, contact and company enrichment, deal-stage management, pricing comparables, and follow-up tasks.

  • Asana

    Proposal project tracking, task assignment, missing-info subtasks, and deadline management.

  • Internal asset library

    A configured file path or URL holding boilerplate sections, team bios, case study summaries, and portfolio links.

Most agency proposal delays come from the same place: an account lead opening a blank document, hunting for what a comparable project cost last year, and stitching together boilerplate by hand. By the time the draft exists, half the day is gone and the deadline is closer. This agent moves that grind off the critical path by treating your HubSpot history as the source of truth for scope and pricing.

Because every closed-won and closed-lost outcome is logged back to the deal record, the comparable-work lookups get sharper with each pitch. The result is a digital marketing agency proposal process that compounds: the more you bid, the better the next first-pass draft starts.

Getting started

  1. Import the workspace into Gamut — Bring this agent template into your Gamut workspace to get started.
  2. Run the agent-onboarding skill — It asks about your agency, your HubSpot and Asana setup, your standard proposal structure, and your pricing norms, then configures the agent for your business.
  3. Give it a first RFP — Hand it a bid you just received: 'Draft a first-pass proposal from this RFP and flag everything we need to confirm before sending.'

Frequently asked questions

What is a digital marketing agency proposal drafter agent?

It is an agent that turns an incoming RFP into a structured first-pass marketing agency proposal, pulling pricing and past work from HubSpot and your template library. The account lead finalizes and sends rather than building from scratch.

Does the agent send proposals to clients without my approval?

No. It produces a draft plus an internal missing-info checklist and assigns it to the account lead in Asana. A human reviews, refines, and sends every proposal, and high-value bids are flagged for principal review first.

Which systems does it work with?

It connects to HubSpot for deal history and pricing comparables, Asana for proposal task tracking, and your internal asset library for boilerplate, bios, and case studies. Settings are configured during onboarding.

How is this different from using a marketing agency proposal template or generic AI tool?

A static agency marketing proposal template gives you an empty shell; a generic tool writes filler. This agent anchors pricing and narrative in your own closed-won deals from HubSpot and writes in your agency's voice, so each draft reflects work you have actually done.

Can it handle different project types like rebrands, retainers, and paid media?

Yes. It detects the project type from the RFP and pulls the most comparable closed-won engagements in that category, so a content retainer, a website, and a paid media bid each get a tailored proposal and pricing anchor.

How much does it cost to run?

The template itself is free to import from the Gamut marketplace. You run it in your own Gamut workspace and connect your existing HubSpot and Asana accounts, so there are no added per-proposal license fees.
