Marketing and creative agencies

Creative work stops leaking between campaigns, calls and revisions.

Agency margin disappears in the small work around the visible deliverable: feedback rounds, quick fixes, campaign checks and client follow-up. Half5 turns those moments into approved customer value without exposing the personal timeline.

Where the money leaks

The problem is not time tracking. It is proving what reaches the invoice.

Each branch loses billable work in a different place. Half5 makes that loss visible before finance rebuilds the week from memory.

Feedback

Revision work is easy to donate

Small client changes become approved work instead of disappearing inside the project margin.

Campaigns

Campaign work spreads across tools

Ads, content, design files, calls and browser research can be turned into cleaner customer context.

Capacity

Creative capacity needs a commercial view

Approved hours show which client, channel or retainer consumes more time than planned.

Market fit

Choose a rollout that already matches how your team sells time.

Half5 translates the day into customer, activity, recovered value and approved output. That makes the rollout concrete for users, managers and finance.

How it works

From forgotten work to approved revenue without breaking trust.

Half5 gives the user control first. After approval, only useful work goes to finance, integrations and agents.

01

The day creates suggestions

Campaign checks, files, browser work and calls become personal clues for the user.

02

Creative work gets client context

The user chooses the customer, project, activity and whether the work belongs to a retainer or change request.

03

Approval protects margin

Team leads approve revision work and campaign hours before finance sees the invoice route.

04

Invoices show the real work

Approved agency hours can become invoice lines, reports, exports and accounting data.

Software, finance and agents

Approved work becomes the center of the toolchain, not private activity history.

The strongest enterprise story is clear: people keep control, managers approve work, finance receives clean output and agents can automate on the safe layer.

Campaign and project context

Customers, projects, activities and rates already support agency workflows.

Planned revision tracking

Revision rounds, included work and extra work are planned as app features.

Retainer health

Planned burn alerts can show where creative capacity and client agreements drift apart.

Finance handoff

Approved work can move to invoices, accounting exports and agency reporting.

For marketing and creative agencies

Campaign work, feedback rounds and quick fixes stop leaking margin.

Half5 turns scattered creative work into customer, campaign and activity context that can be reviewed before it reaches the invoice.

Billable value returns

Even a few missed minutes per person per day become serious revenue across a team.

Approval before invoicing

Managers review exceptions before finance receives clean data, so recovered hours stay explainable.

Finance and agents connect safely

Accounting, CRM, project systems and agents work with submitted hours, approvals and invoice data.

Start with clarity

Choose the place where missed work already costs revenue.

Half5 shows which revenue can return, what stays personal, which hours finance may use and which systems receive approved data.

Revision work becomes visible before it disappears into the retainer.

Budgets, rates and approval keep creative work commercially explainable.

Approved hours can feed finance, CRM, project systems and agents.
