For advertising agencies

For advertising agencies:
from creative spark to accountable delivery

In advertising agencies, everything revolves around creativity, client focus, and results. But behind every striking concept or successful campaign lies a careful process of brainstorming, designing, testing, consulting, and fine-tuning. All those hours — often spread across different team members and disciplines such as strategy, copywriting, design, and project management — need to be recorded accurately.

Time tracking is indispensable here, not only for correct invoicing but also for effective project control. Whether an agency works with hourly rates, fixed project fees, or monthly retainers, insight into the actual time spent is crucial to safeguard profitability and keep clients transparently informed about progress.

 

Without proper time tracking, agencies risk underestimation: creative processes often take more time than expected, especially with iterations or late client changes. With a system like TimeWriter, it quickly becomes clear where time is spent, where projects run over, and which tasks consistently require more attention. This helps refine quotes, sharpen schedules, and make better use of capacity.

For major accounts or long-term partnerships, time tracking also provides the evidence needed for reporting, post-calculations, or renegotiating contracts. In addition, it delivers valuable management insights: which clients are profitable, which services demand the most effort, and which team members are consistently overloaded? For advertising agencies that want to stay competitive in a demanding market, time tracking is not an administrative burden but a strategic advantage. With smart tools like TimeWriter, recording time is simple and efficient — keeping the creative energy flowing, but always within agreed boundaries.

    Annemieke Augusteijn

    I’ve been using TimeWriter for several years now, and I find it an incredibly handy and user-friendly tool. I often have recurring appointments, and the ability to enter them quickly is a key reason why I use TimeWriter. The other features, such as integration with my calendar, also ensure that I spend no more time on time tracking than absolutely necessary. Highly recommended!

    Wanda de Schrijver

    After a long search, I finally found a good program to track hours worked per client. It offers clear report outputs and lets you work with many variables. I’m very satisfied with this software for my accounting firm. The helpdesk is also very pleasant to work with, which I consider a big plus.
