<\/div>\n

One of the most important things you need to do in your creative marketing agency is to track time. We know, we know. Nobody likes doing it. But it\u2019s the foundation for having a thorough understanding of project and operational success. This is how you manage successful projects, adhere to budgets, allocate resources effectively, and bill clients correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we\u2019re sure you often face a ton of resistance from team members when it comes to tracking their time effectively\u2026 or even just tracking their time at all. Or maybe you\u2019re not currently tracking time but know you need to implement that into your workflow and processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing is, staff members tend to see it as a tedious task or another administrative burden. This means they\u2019re often not tracking their time or tracking incomplete time. This can lead to mismanaged resources and inaccurate billing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry. We\u2019re going to walk you through how to adopt the right strategies, tools, and mindset so time tracking can be an efficient and non-strenuous part of your operational workflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Time Tracking is Essential for Creative Agencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n


First, let\u2019s talk about why time tracking for marketing agencies is essential. As we mentioned, it\u2019s necessary for understanding project profitability, improving your operational efficiency, and, well, delivering on client expectations. Let\u2019s dive deeper:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accurate Billing and Invoicing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your clients expect transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They want to know how their budgets are being spent on their projects or campaigns. Time tracking gives you just that sort of information. Not that you have to share every timesheet with your clients, but you can pull accurate reports of how much time was spent on their deliverables. And without accurate ad agency time tracking, you run the risk of under- or over-charging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They may ask you to justify your fees, and having that information will be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resource Allocation and Project Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Creative agency time tracking lets your project managers see just how much time is being spent on each of your projects. This means they\u2019ll be able to allocate resources without all that guesswork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll be able to identify bottlenecks and streamline workflows. Knowing where each staff member\u2019s time is going absolutely helps the project managers ensure the project continues smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone on the design team is being overworked, you\u2019ll have clear insight into that and be able to shift work or staff around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identifying Inefficiencies and Optimizing Workflow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what else is so great about time tracking? You get to find all the little inefficiencies in your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You get clear insight into what\u2019s working and what\u2019s not working within your business operations. You might notice when too much time is spent on non-billable work or see what staff are being underutilized or overworked. Who can take on more work? Who absolutely cannot? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have an understanding of where your agency\u2019s time is being spent or wasted, then you can start to improve your processes and ultimate provide better results for your clients. With this information, you can make data-driven and more informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common Barriers to Effective Time Tracking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright, the section you\u2019ve probably been most excited AND most nervous to read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting your team to track time effectively can be\u2026 well, let\u2019s face it. Like pulling teeth. And at home with a door and some string, no less. Some staff will find it unnecessary and others just won\u2019t find the time<\/em> to do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s take a look at some common barriers you\u2019re going to (or already do) run into with tracking time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perceived as Time-Consuming or Unnecessary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve mentioned this once or twice already. We\u2019ve seen agencies with staff members who just find the whole thing to be time-consuming itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why take the time to track the time when they could be spending that time working on their assigned tasks or growing workload? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When staff feel like admin work is taking away from their creative work, they\u2019re less likely to track accurately or even track at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lack of Understanding of Its Importance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest reasons time tracking isn\u2019t implemented or gets a lot of push back is because the front-line staff don\u2019t understand why<\/em> they\u2019re tracking their time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can tell them all day it\u2019s so you can get better reporting or bill the clients accurately. But that doesn\u2019t always work. They need to see how it\u2019s important to them<\/em>. Knowing it\u2019s important to the organization is fine and dandy, but at the end of the day, they care about how it all affects them. And they should! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they don\u2019t understand why time tracking is important, they\u2019re less likely to actually track. They may think you\u2019re trying to micromanage them, and they won\u2019t see how it impacts your agency\u2019s profitability and client relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show them the bigger picture. Tell a story to them about what the future of the agency looks like for them when you\u2019re able to utilize the information time tracking can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inadequate Tools or Complicated Systems<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s another big barrier\u2014the system you\u2019re using. If the tools you\u2019re using to track time are buggy or difficult to use, then you\u2019re more likely to have missed or inaccurate time logs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also helpful if your time-tracking tool integrates well with your project management system. Then, you don\u2019t have to plug that information across. It will automatically apply the right time to the right project. Time tracking for marketing agencies sometimes involves managing multiple clients and campaigns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you need a user-friendly tool that will track that time across all that different work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry; there are more solutions to come. We just wanted to dive into some of the common reasons for pushback before we brought out the heavy hitters.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the Right Time Tracking Tool for Your Agency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the right software can make a huge difference when it comes to your team implementing time tracking successfully. The right tool should be easy to use, integrate with your project management and\/or billing systems, and spit out real-time data. Let\u2019s take a look at what you need to pick the best tool for your creative agency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seamless Integration with Workflows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, ideally, your time tracking integrates right into your existing tools and workflow. You shouldn\u2019t make your team have to learn a whole new workflow in order to track time. That\u2019s just overwhelming. Your new time-tracking tool should be able to plug your data right into Asana, Trello, or Salesforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could even look for project management tools that also provide time tracking. With tools like FunctionFox<\/a> or Function Point,<\/a> you\u2019re more likely to have accurate data because it\u2019s plugging the information directly into the tasks involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re also more likely to have a fast and successful adoption because there\u2019s less work on the front-line staff\u2019s side when they don\u2019t have to manage their tasks in one software to track their time in another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

User-Friendly Interface<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever downloaded a new software or app and then spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to navigate or use the thing? You loved it, didn\u2019t you? No one loves it. No one wants to spend more than a few minutes learning a tool or even better, no longer than a couple clicks to even use the tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for software with intuitive navigation and automated timers. You don\u2019t want your staff members to have to click more than two buttons (ideally just one!) to track time they don\u2019t even want to track. If you can find something on mobile? Even better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real-Time Tracking and Automation Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The less extra work you can give your staff members, the better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, find a time-tracking tool<\/a> that automates as much as possible. Take away some of those extra steps, and your staff are more likely to track their time. You don’t have to worry about missing key time when you have a tool that automatically tracks time spent on specific tasks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invest in the time tracking tool that aligns with your agency\u2019s needs. This helps make for a smoother transition to tracking time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming Resistance to Time Tracking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, let\u2019s talk solutions here. We discussed some common barriers and how you can find the right tool, but you\u2019re here looking for answers. And boy, do we have them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Address Concerns Openly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what your team wants from you most? Open and clear communication. That\u2019s right. Well, a pay raise or promotion is always nice, but your staff truly cares about how you relay information and what information you relay to them. When they know they can trust that you\u2019re being open and honest, you\u2019re more likely to have a team that is loyal\u2014a team that\u2019ll track time without too much complaint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So keep an open dialogue with your team when it comes to tracking time. Find out what their concerns are. Ask them if they\u2019re feeling micromanaged or if it\u2019s distracting from their creative flow. When you ask outright and address these head-on, they\u2019re more likely to see it as a tool and not an obstacle. They\u2019ll see more of the impact it has. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want an example? If your designer\u2013let\u2019s call him Neil\u2013says that time tracking feels like it interrupts his creative flow. Switching between creativity mode and admin mode is just impossible. Explain to Neil how you don\u2019t need a minute-by-minute breakdown of everything he\u2019s doing. You\u2019re just trying to capture the big picture. If he spent less than 15 minutes on something, don\u2019t worry about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s time you don\u2019t care about anyway. Emphasize with him that creative agency time tracking can even help free up more time for him to be creative when you can see bottlenecks elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Time Tracking Part of Onboarding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This one\u2019s easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add this training to the onboarding process for your new staff members. When you have new team members coming in and seeing it\u2019s a part of your culture, they\u2019re going to set the standard for the rest of the team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re building a culture around time tracking a little backwards! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incentivize Time Tracking Compliance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another thing you can do is incentivize time tracking. Use gamification techniques to keep them engaged and excited. Make a leaderboard to track consistency in logging time. However, don\u2019t use the leaderboard to monitor who tracks the most<\/em> time. The goal is to get them to track consistently, not the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can offer recognition or rewards for time tracked consistently. Maybe it\u2019s a $5 gift card to the nearest cafe at the end of the week or even just a shoutout at the next team meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect time tracking to performance. Add time tracking to their performance metrics. When they realize it\u2019s a part of their performance reviews, they\u2019re more likely to stick to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share Success Stories<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just like giving shout-outs, during the team meetings, ask your staff to share examples of how time tracking led to a successful project or a happier client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upper management should share the reporting data that shows the staff just how time tracking led to cleaning up inefficiencies or bottlenecks. Team members are more likely to try a little harder to track their time when they can see tangible results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provide Continuous Support and Training<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once time tracking is implemented, absolutely do not stop offering support or training. Provide refresher courses or tips during team meetings and check in with them regularly. Again, keep an open dialogue so they feel comfortable providing feedback or sharing issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time tracking for marketing agencies<\/a> is necessary to ensure your agency\u2019s success and growth\u2014even the success of your client\u2019s campaigns and projects. We won\u2019t deny you\u2019re going to get pushback, but be transparent, supportive, and communicative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help your team see it\u2019s not an obstacle\u2014show them why<\/em> it\u2019s important and how <\/em>it\u2019ll impact them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the steps we listed out. Set clear expectations and incentives and use the best tools. Make time tracking an embedded habit, and you\u2019ll have better project management, resource allocation, and client satisfaction. Who knows? You may even have happier and less stressed staff members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
