Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use this page to organize marketing time around the outcome you need: a defensible record for campaign budgets, client invoices, retainer burn-down, or internal staffing review. Marketing work often spans campaigns, accounts, budgets, contracts, market analysis, and team direction, so a useful record names more than a total. It ties each block of time to the client, campaign, deliverable, role, and billable status behind the work.
For U.S. payroll records, covered employers must keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, including hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions. The FLSA does not require one specific timekeeping form or system. A marketing tracker can serve billing and planning, but payroll review still needs complete daily and weekly hours by worker.
A strong marketing time entry includes date, person, client or account, campaign, project, task or deliverable, role, billable status, hours, and a short note that explains the work. Agency records also need a rate basis when time supports billing-rate discussions or labor-based fees. U.S. records normally use USD for payroll, billing, and rate fields.
Use a line such as: April 8, strategist, Client A, product launch campaign, messaging review, billable, 1.25 hours, launch brief comments. Add separate lines for internal status meetings, proposal work, training, or rework so non-billable time does not disappear into client totals. Notes should identify the work without collecting unnecessary sensitive personal information; FTC guidance tells businesses keeping sensitive employee or customer information to collect only what they need, protect it, and dispose of it securely.
Marketing teams track time differently under fee-based, labor-based, and fixed or output-based engagements. ANA's 2022 Trends in Agency Compensation study found that 82% of surveyed marketers used fee-based agency compensation models, and 76% of smaller advertisers used labor-based fee agreements. The 4As also describes rate-based pricing as the predominant form of advertising compensation, so role, rate category, and service function often matter during pricing reviews.
Fixed or output-based fees change the billing conversation, because ANA defines them as compensation for a specific project or deliverables without regard to agency labor time. Actual time still matters after the scope is approved. Track the campaign hours against deliverables, revisions, meetings, and non-billable work so the team can compare effort with scope, improve estimates, identify training needs, and protect margins on the next proposal.
A free one-off tracker is enough when you need a clean weekly summary for a small campaign, a freelancer invoice, or a quick review of where a launch week went. Keep it simple if one person owns the work, rates stay unchanged, no manager needs to approve entries, and the final output is a weekly total you review once.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when multiple marketers split time across clients, campaigns, retainers, and recurring budgets. Everhour can connect tracked time to project budgets, client-level limits, recurring budget periods, threshold alerts, and budget protection. That structure gives account leads a record of time used before the retainer is exhausted, the invoice is drafted, or staffing decisions move to the next planning meeting.

The useful fields are date, worker, client or account, campaign, deliverable or task, role, billable status, hours, and a note short enough for review. Agency teams should also capture rate category or service function when the time record supports pricing or billing-rate discussion. Payroll review for covered nonexempt employees also needs daily and workweek hour totals.
Yes. Non-billable time shows proposal work, internal meetings, training, rework, administration, and unscoped client support instead of hiding those hours inside campaign totals. Agency Management Institute notes that billable and non-billable timesheets support billing, estimate accuracy, training decisions, and operational efficiency, so the separation protects both client reporting and management review.
Track fixed-fee work by deliverable and phase, even though fixed or output-based fees are negotiated for a specific project or set of deliverables without regard to agency labor time. Actual time shows whether the scope matched the effort. Separate discovery, creative, media coordination, reporting, revisions, and meetings so overages have a clear source.
Yes, if it is complete and accurate. The FLSA does not require covered employers to use a specific timekeeping form or system for nonexempt workers. Records for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. Employers must preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records for at least two years.
No. The FLSA does not require overtime premium pay solely because covered nonexempt employees work on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular rest day. Federal overtime applies when covered nonexempt employees work over 40 hours in a fixed 168-hour workweek, at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate, unless a state law, policy, or agreement adds a different rule.
Everhour Project Budgeting lets a marketing team set time or money budgets for campaigns, retainers, or client-level limits, then send alerts at 75%, 90%, 100%, or a custom threshold. Budget protection can stop timers and prevent more logging once the budget is exceeded.
Everhour embeds tracking controls inside Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, Basecamp, and other supported tools. Marketers can log time against existing tasks instead of copying campaign work into a separate time system. That keeps task context attached to each entry.
Connect campaign hours to budget limits before invoices or staffing reviews. Everhour Project Budgeting ties tracked time to recurring time and money budgets, client-level limits, and budget alerts for clearer retainer control.
