Understanding the time allocated to client-facing tasks is crucial for accurately analyzing and enhancing our profit margins. By gaining a deeper insight into our team's hours, we can adapt bundles and pricing as needed, assess ROI, and bolster our people management and training efforts by identifying where and how team members invest their time.
Time Tracking ⏰
...In Asana 😈
Asana's built-in time tracking feature enables you to accurately record the time devoted to a task. You have the option to manually track time or utilize the live timer, which automatically logs and calculates the total actual time spent based on different instances when the task was worked on.
Introducing...

You can manually track time by typing your hours for each working session under
"Actual Time."
Manual Entry
Timer Feature
You must track time for every bundle (Channel!) you work on. There are two simple methods to track time: manual entry or using the timer feature. Here are the details:

Utilize the timer feature to track your time in real-time, and once you stop the timer, the recorded time will be automatically uploaded.

Track Time for these tasks!
Bundles
Add Ons
Our primary goal is to track time per bundle, so please keep the following in mind when it comes to how your task is set up and what elements you need to track and log time for.
For every bundle, there must be one associated task. For example, if a client requests 2 exclusive builds, we would ensure that the production tasks are submitted separately, resulting in 2 tasks. The objective is to gather average time per bundle.

Best Practices for Designing Politically Themed Ads
Clear and Compelling Messaging
-
Simplicity is Key: Ensure the message is clear, concise, and easily understood.
-
Strong Call-to-Action: Encourage immediate action with a prominent and persuasive CTA
- e.g. "Vote Now" "Support Today"
- e.g. "Vote Now" "Support Today"
- Emotionally Resonant: Tap into the emotions of the audience, whether it's hope, urgency, or patriotism.
Visual Appeal and Consistency
-
Branding: Use consistent colors, fonts, and imagery that align with the political campaign's branding.
-
High-Quality Images: Utilize high-resolution images and avoid clutter.
- Contrast and Readability: Ensure text is easily readable against the background with good contrast.

Best Practices for Designing Politically Themed Ads
Creative Best Practices
- Advertisements are free of explicit language (careful for IBV / Audio tasks)
- Advertisements are free of any violence or explosions
- Advertisement is free of any personal attacks against an opposing candidate or political party
- Audio advertisements also require appropriate audible disclaimers/disclosures
Disclaimer
- Advertising contains appropriate disclaimers and advertiser disclosures
- Ex. “Ad Paid for by [CANDIDATE]”
- Ex. "Ad Paid for by [ORG] and authorized by [CANDIDATE]"
- Ex. “Ad Paid for by [ORG] and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee"
- Ex. “Ad Paid for by [CANDIDATE]”
