LiveUp Media, a dynamic independent video production agency in London, is making a name for itself in the corporate video industry. Specialising in high-quality video content for established brands, the team’s recent growth and success can be attributed not only to their creative talent but also to their strategic use of technology. One tool, in particular, has been instrumental in driving this growth: Toggl.
For Allan, founder and lead videographer of LiveUp Media, managing time was once a common challenge for the team. "We were relying on spreadsheets to track hours, but it just wasn’t efficient," Allan explains. "Oftentimes, we’d forgot to track certain project tasks, which meant lost billable hours and missed opportunities."
That all changed with Toggl, a simple yet powerful time-tracking tool that has transformed how the team manages their projects. From location shoots to post-production, every minute is now accurately logged, tracked, and accounted for. This newfound efficiency allows LiveUp Media to confidently support an increasing number of larger corporate clients, confident in their ability to deliver on time and within budget.
Arran Clark, Lead Motion Designer at LiveUp Media, highlights the impact Toggl has had on the agency. "I started using it during my freelancing days, but now it's indispensable. Toggl gives us a clear, visual breakdown of how time is allocated across each project. It helps us stay aligned internally on project timelines and share detailed insights with our clients.”
The benefits of Toggl extend far beyond just time-tracking. Its detailed reporting features help the LiveUp Media team present visual, data-driven updates to their clients. This transparency strengthens client relationships, as they can see exactly where their investment is going in terms of time and effort.
As LiveUp Media continues to grow and expand its portfolio with brands that value their independent perspective, the streamlined processes made possible by Toggl are more important than ever. “It’s optimised our workflow, helped us meet the demands of larger clients, and ultimately, helped us stay competitive in a rapidly growing market,” says Allan.
With Toggl in their project management toolkit, the future looks bright for LiveUp Media, as they continue to scale their operations without compromising on the creative freedom that sets them apart.
