Ready to upgrade your creative agencies phone system?

Creative Agencies businesses turn to us when

Their current IT provider doesn't understand creative workflows or the urgency of campaign deadlines
Large file transfers and project sharing are painfully slow, costing the team hours every week
They're struggling to manage Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma licences cost-effectively across the team
Their Mac and PC workstations aren't performing well enough for video editing and 3D rendering
Freelancers and remote creatives can't access studio systems securely or reliably
They've had a near-miss or actual data breach involving unreleased client work
Nobody in the agency understands IT security and they're worried about client data responsibility
They're growing rapidly and need IT infrastructure that can scale with new hires and studio expansion
Their backup and disaster recovery is inadequate — one hardware failure could wipe out years of creative work

How it works

From first conversation to live phone system, we manage the entire process so the switch is seamless for your team.

1

Discovery & Recommendation

We assess your current phone setup, call volumes, team structure and remote working requirements. We check your broadband is suitable for VoIP and recommend the right system — hosted VoIP, Teams Voice or SIP trunking.

2

Configuration & Number Porting

We configure your entire phone system — call flows, auto-attendant menus, hunt groups, voicemail, user permissions and CRM integrations. We port your existing numbers so customers call the same number as before.

3

Handset Setup & Training

We pre-configure IP handsets, install softphone apps on laptops and mobiles, and provide hands-on training for your team. Everyone knows how to use the new system before we switch it on.

4

Go-Live & Ongoing Support

We manage the cutover to minimise disruption, monitor the system post-launch and provide ongoing technical support. Need a new user added, a call flow changed or a handset replaced? One call to us.

VoIP phone system for Creative Agencies

What's included with our VoIP service

01

System Design & Call Flow Planning

We map out exactly how calls should flow through your business -- who answers first, what happens if they're busy, where out-of-hours calls go. A bespoke call flow designed around your business hours, departments, team structure and customer experience requirements, documented for your approval.

02

Number Porting & Provisioning

We port your existing phone numbers so customers, website and marketing materials don't need to change. We manage the entire porting process with carriers, coordinate the switchover and ensure no gap in service. New geographic, non-geographic or international numbers provisioned and routed as needed.

03

Handset & Softphone Configuration

Pre-configured IP handsets deployed to your office -- plug in and they work. Softphone apps installed on laptops and mobiles for remote and hybrid workers. We set up headsets, speed dials and BLF keys so receptionists can see who's on a call, ensuring every user's setup matches their role.

04

CRM & Business Application Integration

Incoming calls automatically display the caller's record on screen, calls are logged against contacts and your team has full context before they pick up. Works with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Microsoft Dynamics and over 200 other platforms -- giving your team a connected workflow.

05

Network & QoS Configuration

We configure Quality of Service settings on your router and switches to prioritise voice traffic, ensuring crystal clear calls even under load. Firewall configuration for SIP traffic, VLANs to separate voice and data networks, and call quality testing under load before go-live.

06

Training & Ongoing Support

Hands-on training for your team -- handsets, call transfers, voicemail, softphone app and admin portal. After go-live, we provide ongoing support for adding users, changing call flows, replacing handsets, troubleshooting quality issues and managing your account. One point of contact for everything.

Why Cloudswitched for VoIP?

IT company first, telecoms provider second. That's why your phone system actually integrates with everything else.

IT company, not a telecoms reseller

We configure QoS, firewalls, VLANs and network settings properly — not just plug in phones and hope for the best. Your voice quality is our responsibility.

One point of contact

Phone system, internet connection and IT support — all managed by one team. No finger-pointing between providers when something goes wrong.

CRM integration done right

We don't just tick a box — we properly integrate your phone system with your CRM so screen pops, call logging and click-to-dial actually work reliably.

Right system, not the most expensive

If Microsoft Teams Voice is all you need, we won't upsell you a full hosted PBX. We recommend based on what fits your business, not our margin.

Network-first approach

We assess your broadband, configure QoS and test call quality before go-live. If your connection isn't good enough for VoIP, we'll fix that first — we do connectivity too.

Fraud protection included

VoIP fraud is real — hackers can run up thousands in international call charges overnight. Our systems include fraud detection and call barring to protect your business.

Seamless number porting

We manage the entire porting process — coordinating with carriers, scheduling the switchover and ensuring zero downtime. Your customers won't notice a thing.

Hybrid & remote ready

Softphone apps on every device mean your team can make and receive calls from their business number whether they're in the office, at home or on the road.

Scales instantly

Adding a new user takes minutes, not weeks. No engineer visits, no hardware orders, no waiting. Your phone system grows as fast as your business does.
