MELORORIUM FOR MARKETING AGENCIES
Your marketing agency stack costs $5,740 / year. Flat fee instead.
Monday.com, Harvest, HubSpot, Xero, Slack — every account manager and specialist on your team is a monthly charge. Melororium replaces all five for $59/mo flat. Run campaign Kanban boards, track billable hours per client, manage retainers in a unified CRM, and generate invoices from time logs. No seat tax.
10 users included. All campaign and billing modules. No seat tax.
THE AGENCY SEAT TAX
Every new account manager you hire makes your software bill worse.
Marketing agencies run on retainers — but the tools managing those retainers bill you monthly per seat, punishing you for growing your team. Add a PPC specialist, add a content manager, add a junior SEO — and every tool in your stack charges you more. Melororium charges a flat $59/mo for 10 users, regardless of how many roles or campaigns you run. Replace your fractured stack with one unified workspace that handles project planning, time tracking, client billing, and financial reporting in a single tab.
The SaaS Tax
Here is what you are paying every year to run a fragmented workflow:
Cumulative SaaS Tax vs. Flat-Fee Subscription
That's $28,700 saved over 5 years — enough to fund a full content production run for two quarters.
CAMPAIGN DELIVERY WORKFLOW
From campaign brief to client invoice, in one workspace.
Stop managing campaigns in Monday, tracking time in Harvest, and billing in Xero. Melororium keeps your campaign Kanban, task timers, client retainer CRM, and invoice PDF on one screen. Context-switching drops from 5 tabs to 1. Your team spends more time executing campaigns and less time doing admin.
Client Retainer Configuration
Create a dedicated client record in the CRM ledger. Log monthly retainer value, billing terms, account manager assignment, and active campaign scope. Every client card links directly to its open projects and outstanding invoices — full financial context at a glance.
Campaign Task Boards
Each campaign gets its own Kanban board with custom lanes matching your delivery stages — Brief, Design, Copy, Review, Live. Assign tasks to account managers or specialists, set deadlines, and move work forward with sub-100ms drag response. No cloud lag, no sync delay.
Billable Hour Logging
Every task card has a built-in stopwatch. Account managers, copywriters, and analysts tap start when they begin work and stop when they switch. Hours accumulate against the client and project in real time — no forgotten entries, no disputed timesheets, no manual export from a separate tracker.
Retainer Invoice Generation
When the billing period closes, pull the Work Report for any client. Melororium shows total hours logged per team member, calculates amounts at their configured rate, and generates a branded PDF invoice in one click. Payment status updates on your calendar view alongside campaign milestones.
VALUE COMPARISON
Why pay per seat when you can go flat-fee?
Compare face-to-face. Other SaaS platforms lock your workflows and data behind endless per-seat fees. We believe professional software should be a flat fee for your whole team.
The old way
Paying monthly subscription taxes for every minor tool you use.
Scattered operational records causing workflow gaps and missed hours.
Heavy, sluggish cloud interfaces wasting your daily billable capacity.
Compiling raw timesheets manually to calculate project margins.
The Melororium way
Flat monthly fee for your whole team. Secure, scalable workspace.
Unified time logging and accounting tied directly to active tasks.
Blazing-fast local-first execution with zero interface latency.
Integrated ledger automation generating live performance reports.
ZERO LOADING SPINNERS

Project Management for Marketing Agencies: Managing Campaigns Without Per-Seat Billing
Marketing agencies run complex, multi-channel campaigns on behalf of clients who expect transparency, speed, and accurate billing. Managing that complexity across five different tools — a project board, a time tracker, a CRM, a reporting dashboard, and an invoicing system — is where most marketing agencies lose hours every week to administrative overhead. This guide explains how a flat-fee, integrated workspace built for agency operations recovers those hours and improves the margin on every campaign.
The Marketing Agency Tool Stack Problem
A 10-person marketing agency typically runs campaigns on behalf of 8–15 active clients simultaneously. Each campaign has multiple deliverables across channels — paid search, social content, email sequences, landing pages, reporting. Keeping all of that organised, tracked, and billed accurately requires a coherent operational system. Most marketing agencies cobble that system together from separate tools. Project management in ClickUp or Monday, time tracking in Harvest, client communication in a CRM, campaign reporting in a separate analytics dashboard, and invoicing in QuickBooks. The result is a system where every piece of information about a client project lives in a different place — and reconciling it all at billing time is a 4–6 hour monthly exercise.
The Hidden Cost of Campaign Administration
Marketing agencies bill clients for campaign work but often absorb the administrative cost of managing that work. When a project manager spends 6 hours per month reconciling time logs with invoices, that is 6 hours of billable time that is not billed. At $100/hour, that is $600/month — $7,200/year — in administrative overhead for a single PM. A 10-person agency with two PMs is losing $14,400/year in administrative time that is never recovered.
Running Marketing Campaigns in Melororium
Marketing campaigns in Melororium are structured as projects within a client CRM record. The project Kanban is configured to match the agency's campaign workflow — typically Planning, Content Production, Client Review, Publishing, and Reporting. Each campaign deliverable becomes a task: 'Ad copy variants — paid search', 'Social content calendar — Q3', 'Landing page copy and design brief'. Tasks are assigned to team members with due dates and embedded timers. The account manager and creative leads see their work queue clearly. When a client requests a change to a campaign brief, it enters the workflow as a task — tracked, assigned, and visible. Nothing falls through the cracks because it is not logged in Slack.
Client Retainer Management for Monthly Campaigns
Many marketing agencies operate on monthly retainers: a fixed fee for an agreed scope of campaign work. Melororium's retainer management connects the monthly project to the client CRM record, tracks hours against the retainer cap, and generates a consistent monthly invoice. When a client's campaign scope expands beyond the retainer, the time log provides the evidence for a scope conversation.
Multi-Channel Campaign Visibility
Marketing campaigns span multiple channels and often involve multiple team members working in parallel. The global Kanban board in Melororium gives agency directors visibility across all active campaign deliverables simultaneously — which tasks are in progress, which are in review, which are blocked, which are overdue. A weekly 15-minute board review replaces a 60-minute status meeting.
Melororium vs. Monday.com for Marketing Agencies
Monday.com is widely used at marketing agencies for its visual campaign management and client reporting views. At $16–$24 per seat per month for the plans marketing agencies typically need, a 10-person team pays $1,920–$2,880 per year — with no built-in time tracking or invoicing. Adding Harvest for time tracking and FreshBooks for invoicing pushes the annual total to $4,500–$5,500. Melororium at $708/year (Agency plan) provides comparable project visibility with the addition of time tracking and invoicing built in. The visual board is flexible enough for multi-channel campaign management. The primary trade-off is Monday's more sophisticated automation and marketing-specific view templates — for agencies that live inside those features, evaluate during the 14-day demo to confirm Melororium's boards meet your specific campaign structure needs.
Flat-Fee Pricing for Agencies That Scale Their Teams
Marketing agencies fluctuate in team size. Busy seasons bring in contract creatives and paid media specialists. Quiet periods see the team contract back to its core. Per-seat pricing makes this fluctuation expensive — seats added for a busy quarter stay on the bill even after the project ends, or get deactivated and reactivated through billing friction. Melororium's Agency plan at $59/month for 10 users accommodates a core team of 6–8 with room for regular contractors without changing the monthly bill. When a contract media buyer joins for a campaign cycle, they can be added to the workspace at no extra cost. When the campaign ends, they are removed — and the bill remains $59/month.
