What Workgroups DaVinci does

Workgroups DaVinci, operating under the trade name RoboHead, is a Des Moines, Iowa-based software subsidiary of Aquent that provides a cloud-based project management SaaS platform built specifically for marketing and creative teams. The core product, RoboHead, supports the full creative project lifecycle through Project Requests (configurable intake forms and templates), Project Planning, Team Management (skill-based assignment), Feedback & Reviews (custom review workflows with unlimited external stakeholders), a Library for file management, Reporting, and integrations via API. The platform is sold on a subscription basis with a free trial for self-serve evaluation, and the company runs a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led growth with enterprise field sales that includes personalized demos and customized implementation services. Pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed.

The product portfolio has been extended with two branded add-ons: RoboHead Spark, which layers AI-powered workflow automation (intake, templates, routing) on top of the core platform, and DesignDrop, a tool for collecting structured feedback on creative files from unlimited external stakeholders without requiring platform accounts. RoboHead serves four marketed verticals (Education, Healthcare, Financial Services, and Consumer Goods) and two primary personas (marketing teams and creative teams), and operates as a wholly owned product within the Aquent family of companies (which includes Aquent Talent, Aquent Studios, and Aquent Scout). The company was founded in 2011 and has raised approximately $18 million in disclosed funding across a 2011 round of $10 million and a 2015 round of $8 million led by Next Level Ventures.

The business is small (11–50 employees) and is funded predominantly through its 2011 and 2015 venture rounds; no subsequent capital raises, acquisitions, or material leadership transitions are recorded. Content marketing, including blog, LinkedIn, YouTube, and gated assets (LAUNCH benchmark report, The New Creative Brief ebook, 2025 Efficiency Playbook), is the primary demand-generation channel. There are no disclosed enterprise customer logos, ARR or revenue figures, or named partnerships beyond the Aquent parent relationship, and pricing details are not publicly disclosed beyond the existence of a free trial and monthly billing cadence for subscription tiers.
