Meanwhile, your marketing team is trying to post progress updates, build case studies, or send client reports — and they’re working with... whatever that is.

TaskTag isn’t a photo app — it’s a workflow system that happens to be really good at handling jobsite photos.
Instead of dumping images into a gallery, TaskTag turns photo capture into a structured task. Here’s how it works:
This isn’t a folder. It’s a real task inside the project — with a checklist, instructions, and a place to drop photos.
They’re already using TaskTag to check schedules, log work, or chat.
Now, they just upload the photos inside the task, or send them in chat with a project hashtag like #Elm_Street.
No more guessing. You can filter by project, tag, or task. And marketing can instantly find what they need — without bugging the field.

“After install — tile + cabinets done. 4:45pm #Elm_Street”
📸 Wide shot

Now the story writes itself — and marketing just downloads what they need.

It’s simple. Repeatable. And it works — even if your crew hates “extra admin work.”
Because it’s not extra. It’s just part of the task.
If you’re still relying on group texts, shared albums, or hoping your crew uploads to CompanyCam... you’re probably missing the best visuals from your best jobs.
The work is already happening.
The transformation is already there.
You just need a better system to capture it.
And that system should work the way your team already works — in the flow, not in a separate app.
That’s why we moved this workflow into TaskTag.
And we haven’t looked back.
