Time Tracking for Marketing & Creative Agencies
Retainer clients expect their hours to be tracked - but most agency time walks out the door as unbilled pitches, quick revisions, and internal reviews that never made it into a timer. Sandtime.io makes it easy to log time by client and campaign as you go, so retainer conversations are backed by numbers and invoices don't require memory.
Why Marketing & Creative Agencies choose Sandtime.io
Track Time by Client and Campaign
Assign every hour to the right client and campaign. Retainer reviews and scope conversations take minutes when time is already organized by client.
Capture Every Billable Hour
Log time across strategy, creative, copy, design, and reporting as it happens. No more reconstructing a week from briefs and Slack threads.
Monitor Retainer Usage
See how many retainer hours each client has consumed in real time. Have the scope conversation before the client goes over - not after.
Your Whole Team, One Account
Track time across account managers, creatives, strategists, and freelancers from one account. Know who worked on what without chasing timesheets.
Common use cases
- Log billable hours across strategy, creative, and production work
- Monitor retainer hours so clients never go over budget unnoticed
- Separate billable client time from non-billable pitches and internal work
- Track freelancer and contractor hours alongside full-time staff
- Pull a monthly billing summary per client without rebuilding the week
- Export time logs by client and campaign for invoicing or reporting
