The work

Tasks this hire takes

A virtual assistant for marketing agencies runs client admin, reporting packs and the schedule.

The strategist still owns the offer, the spend and the creative call.

Two jobs shape a normal week for marketing & creative agencies: Build the weekly report from the ad accounts, and schedule posts the strategist already approved. Firms hire for that rhythm, not for an empty inbox.

  • Build the weekly report from the ad accounts

  • Schedule posts the strategist already approved

  • Chase client feedback against the timeline

  • Update the traffic sheet in ClickUp or Asana

  • Book sales calls from the list the agency owns

Build the weekly report from the ad accounts. For marketing & creative agencies, that work sits beside ClickUp, Asana or Monday. The principal still makes the call above it.

Schedule posts the strategist already approved. Ask each finalist for marketing & creative agencies when they last did this, and whether they did it in ClickUp, Asana or Monday.

The brief for marketing & creative agencies should treat this as a standing job: chase client feedback against the timeline. ClickUp, Asana or Monday is where the office checks it.

Update the traffic sheet in ClickUp or Asana. If the hire has not used ClickUp, Asana or Monday, the first month for marketing & creative agencies includes learning it, and the principal still reviews the output.

Book sales calls from the list the agency owns. For marketing & creative agencies, write down what done looks like, and who is told when it is finished.

You grant access to The reporting template the strategist signed. For marketing & creative agencies, the hire should have that login before week two.

The line

Compliance boundary
