LONDON × MARKETING AGENCIES

Project Management Software for Marketing Agencies in London

A Shoreditch agency juggling six client accounts needs one place to see who has capacity this week, not six separate inboxes each telling a different story.

Six accounts, six deadlines, one small team

A digital agency around Shoreditch or Soho rarely gets the luxury of one client at a time. It's normal for the same handful of creative and account people to run a product launch for one client, an always-on social retainer for another, and a pitch deck for a third, all in the same week, each client convinced its brief is the one that matters most. Nobody's lying when they say they're busy. The trouble is that "busy" and "visible" aren't the same thing, and a founder or ops lead can't tell from outside whether the team is stretched or genuinely drowning.

The other cost is quieter, and it shows up on the invoice rather than the board. A client call, a round of amends, a late Friday fix, none of it usually gets written down in the moment. By the time anyone tries to reconstruct a month of billable time against a retainer, a chunk has simply evaporated: work that happened and was never charged for.

Each client account gets its own board on ShipSprint, with its own WIP limits, so a creative lead can see at a glance which account is quietly eating more capacity than its retainer covers, well before that turns into a hard conversation with the client or an unpaid weekend for the team.

What an agency actually needs from a board

A board per client account

Per-column WIP limits stop one demanding client from eating the whole team's week while a quieter retainer sits neglected.

Time that gets logged, not guessed

The log takes about five seconds and sits right beside the task, so a client's real hourly cost is an actual figure, not a Friday-afternoon reconstruction.

A triage inbox for new briefs

Requests land in a shared inbox rather than one account manager's messages, so nothing gets missed because the recipient was on a call.

Content calendars and launch checklists

Marketing keeps its own board vocabulary, campaigns and content calendars, rather than a sprint template borrowed from an engineering team.

Not a CRM, and we won't pretend it is

ShipSprint isn't trying to be a pipeline or contacts tool. It's built for delivery and capacity, the work an agency actually has to schedule.

A studio spread further than it used to be

Hybrid schedules and a commute that can eat an hour each way mean a London agency is rarely all in one room, and a lot of accounts now lean on freelancers who were never in that room to begin with. Status that depends on catching someone at their desk falls apart under that kind of arrangement, and a weekly status call for every client adds up to a lot of unbillable hours fast.

Rather than pinging a designer who's mid-flow on something else, an account lead just reads a deliverable's status straight off where its card sits on the board. A blocker gets raised in one tap and reaches whoever can actually clear it, context included, and the capacity view already knows about approved leave, so a freelancer booked off for the day doesn't get quietly double-booked by accident. ShipSprint's maker, Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., sits in India and bills in rupees; that's simply how invoicing works here, not a claim about a London office.

Questions from London agencies

Yes, that's how most agencies set it up. Each client account gets its own board with its own WIP limits and triage inbox, while the owner command center still shows every account's capacity side by side.
