How does a virtual assistant work for agencies?
Agencies sell strategy and creative, but the hours go to chasing a client for feedback on a landing page, rebuilding a ClickUp board before stand-up and pulling Google Ads numbers into a report template at 11pm on the 3rd. The day starts with a board review and a list of approvals due, and ends with a report of tasks moved, client messages answered, deliverables published and decisions waiting on an account manager. Because the assistant is employed staff of the group and stays on your accounts, they learn each client's approvers, brand rules and reporting quirks. Add a production designer or writer when the queue needs hands as well as coordination.
