Tech stack

Tools we recommend around the weekly desk

FoundryHQ is the live UK lead desk. These are the partner tools we point agencies to for sending, ads, booking, and billing. Some links may be affiliate partners.

We only list tools we would actually put in an operator stack. If a link is a partner, we may earn a commission. It does not change the price you pay.
