Project Management Built for PR Agencies

Your Asana tasks, Harvest hours, and client emails live in three separate places. That costs your team 130 hours a year on status reports and roughly $900 a month in retainer overages you absorb instead of billing. Sagely puts campaign management, retainer tracking, and client communication in one place built for PR agencies.

One Platform Instead of a Asana-Harvest-Spreadsheet-Email Stack

Asana tracks tasks. Harvest tracks hours after the fact. Google Sheets tracks retainer math manually. Nothing syncs, when something moves, someone manually updates all of it. Sagely is built around how PR agencies bill: campaigns as the organizing unit, retainer hours updating in real time, Slack and email in one inbox per client. Most agencies also retire Harvest and their retainer spreadsheets when they switch.

Four Things Asana, Harvest, and Google Sheets Can't Do Together

PR agencies don't work in sprints. You work in campaigns and retainers. Here's what that looks like inside Sagely.

Coordinated

Every account in one dashboard

Every campaign, deadline, and deliverable for every client in one view. Update a timeline once, every team member sees it. New team members get full context from campaign history without a stack of forwarded emails.

Dark mode task board with three columns labeled Backlog, Todo, and In Progress, listing tasks with IDs, titles, priority tags, support type tags, dates, and status indicators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using Sagely for your PR agency.

How do PR agencies track retainer utilization without month-end scrambles?

Sagely shows a live retainer count per client as hours are logged — not a monthly export. When a client hits 80% of their scope in week two, you see it in week two with enough time to act.

Can PR agencies manage media campaign tasks in Sagely?

Yes. Work organizes by client account and campaign. Set up a launch campaign, assign tasks for outreach and coverage, add deadlines. When a deadline shifts, update it once — everyone on that campaign sees it.

How does Sagely handle multiple PR retainer clients at once?

Each client has a separate account — tasks, campaigns, retainer hours, and comms are all scoped to that client. Account managers switch between a per-client view and a cross-account dashboard depending on what they need.
