About the Marketing Invoice Generator

The thing that goes wrong on a marketing invoice is the media spend. An agency that bills £20,000 of ad spend and £3,000 of fees on one undifferentiated invoice looks four times more expensive than it is, and a client who cannot see the split will eventually ask to buy media directly.

This builder keeps them apart. Agency fees — strategy, creative, management, reporting — go in as billable lines. Pass-through spend goes in as its own clearly labelled lines at cost, with the platform named. Where you charge a management percentage on media, it becomes a visible line rather than an invisible markup, which is the arrangement clients trust.

The campaign name and period go in the header, so an invoice can be matched to a plan and a result. Retainer and project work sit together on the same document, each labelled.

How to use the Marketing Invoice Generator

  1. 1

    Name the campaign and period

    In the header, so the invoice ties to a plan and a report.

    Separate fees from media

    Agency time on billable lines, ad spend on clearly labelled pass-through lines.

  3. 3

    Show the management fee

    As its own percentage line, not as a markup buried in the spend.

  4. 4

    Label retainer and project work

    Both can sit on one invoice as long as each is named.

Frequently asked questions

It can be, as long as it is clearly labelled as pass-through and shown at cost with the management fee separate. The alternative — the client paying platforms directly — removes the question entirely and is increasingly common.
