Time Tracking for Marketing Agencies with Campaigns and Retainers

Marketing Agencies time tracking

Teetrack helps marketing agencies track billable hours across campaign work and ongoing retainers so billing is accurate and profitability is visible.

Why Marketing Agencies struggle with time tracking

Campaign work is fast-paced and tracking falls behind

Marketing campaigns involve dozens of small tasks — social posts, ad copy, design reviews, client calls. When the work moves fast, logging time feels like friction. By the end of the month, hours are reconstructed from memory instead of tracked in real time.

Retainer clients get more hours than they pay for

Marketing retainers often include a vague scope like "ongoing social media management." Without tracking actual time spent, agencies consistently over-deliver and only realize it when margins shrink quarter over quarter.

Content production costs are a black box

A blog post might take two hours or eight, depending on research, revisions, and client feedback cycles. Without tracking time per deliverable, marketing agencies cannot set accurate pricing for content packages.

Example

“Multi-currency invoicing keeps our EUR studio rate and USD client retainers separated clearly on each invoice output.”
