Marketing teams need hours attached to the Basecamp to-do that produced the work: copy draft, landing page QA, campaign build, design revision, analytics pull, or client review. A useful entry carries the to-do, Basecamp project, date, duration, and a short note that explains the work completed. That structure keeps the record readable when a manager reviews the week later.
A timer fits live production work because the entry stays connected while the task is open. Manual entry fits cleanup work, meeting follow-up, or same-day corrections after the work ends. The key rule is consistency: log the time against the to-do that owns the deliverable, then use notes to separate planning, production, review, and reporting when those activities affect billing or analysis.
Campaign reports get messy when every hour lands on one broad to-do such as "marketing work." Separate to-dos for strategy, copy, design, setup, launch QA, and performance review give each entry a practical home. Basecamp to-dos can carry title, notes, assignee, subtasks, due date or date range, recurring schedules, and completion status, so the time record should follow that working structure.
Message Board decisions, Schedule dates, and Card Table planning still need a to-do path when the time should become a tracked task record in Everhour. Everhour's documented Basecamp report fields center on project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status. For marketing teams, campaign discussion time should point back to the to-do that caused the work, not to a loose comment or meeting label.
Use the timer when a marketer starts focused work on one Basecamp to-do and expects the duration to matter. The entry follows the active task, which helps managers see current work and reduces reconstruction during review. Notes should stay concise: "Drafted ad variants," "Updated email segment," or "Reviewed launch checklist" gives enough context without turning the timesheet into a status report.
Use manual entry when the work is already finished, fragmented, or logged from memory within the team's allowed process. Same-day manual entries work well for short review blocks, client feedback triage, or a campaign meeting that clearly belongs to one to-do. Split the time when one session covers different deliverables. One 3-hour block across strategy, copy, and QA hides the marketing mix that the report is supposed to show.
A one-off log is enough when you need a quick record for a small campaign or a single freelancer's weekly review. A managed workflow matters when several people track against the same Basecamp project, managers approve time before billing, or completed periods need protection from later edits. Everhour supports approvals, locked periods, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide policy defaults.
Billing setup belongs in Everhour's project and task controls. Admins can configure Basecamp projects as hourly, fixed fee, or non-billable, mark specific tasks non-billable, use custom rates, and send automatic budget emails at 50%, 80%, or custom thresholds. That keeps campaign hours connected to the Basecamp to-dos while the approval, budget, and reporting workflow lives in one reviewable system.

Marketing hours should attach to the Basecamp to-do that represents the deliverable or review step. Use the campaign project and the relevant to-do list for context, then add a note that names the actual work completed. This keeps time grouped by project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status in Everhour reports.
A timer is better for focused work on one to-do, such as building a landing page or editing ad copy. Manual entry is better for short review blocks, meetings, or same-day corrections after the work ends. Split the entry when the session covers separate campaign stages or separate billable treatment.
Meeting time should attach to the to-do that drove the meeting outcome. A launch review can attach to the launch QA to-do, while a budget discussion can attach to the planning to-do. The note should name the meeting purpose, not repeat the calendar title. This prevents generic meeting hours from swallowing useful campaign detail.
Everhour's Basecamp reporting model centers on projects, lists, and to-dos. Work discussed in messages, schedules, or Card Tables should connect back to the to-do that owns the deliverable before it becomes a tracked entry. That path keeps the time usable for project totals, per-to-do review, and task-status reporting.
Billable status should follow Everhour's project and task setup. Admins can set a Basecamp project as hourly, fixed fee, or non-billable, then mark specific tasks non-billable or use custom rates when the client agreement requires it. The time entry should identify the to-do and work performed; billing rules should stay in the controlled setup.
Everhour Team Management gives managers approval workflows, locked periods, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide policy defaults. Marketing teams use those controls to review campaign hours before billing, reporting, or payroll review.
Everhour syncs Basecamp projects, lists, and to-dos into reports with fields such as project, to-do, list, task ID, and task status. Teams can review campaign time by the same work structure used in Basecamp, then export reports when spreadsheet review or client archive work requires it.
Track approved marketing hours from Basecamp to-dos with Everhour Team Management, then lock reviewed periods and keep campaign records ready for billing, reporting, and payroll review.
