One record per client, from the first call to the last invoice.

Seven kinds of tool, priced at August 2026 list rates. A reporting dashboard at $79 to $479 a month, an all in one agency CRM at $97 to $497, project tracking at $48 a seat, invoicing and receivables at $33, scheduling at $16, e-signature at $25, and a client portal at $59. For a three seat agency with twenty five clients that stack lists at $573 a month before add ons, and it takes seven logins. Marquee holds each of those jobs as a view onto one client record, so the brief, the campaign, the meeting, the contract, the invoice and the report never have to be re-entered anywhere. You can check the arithmetic in the Stack Meter above.

A client opens a light portal at their own address. It shows one sentence of status, then what needs them, what is live, and what is next. Beneath that they see the brief, live campaigns, upcoming meetings, invoices that have been issued, agreements that have been sent, and the latest report. They can sign a contract and post a note or a request. They cannot see draft invoices, draft contracts, your internal notes, spend against budget on the board, other clients, or your settings. The portal reads only from the rows that have been sent or published, so the record they see is the same record you see, minus the work in progress.

You draw up the agreement in Marquee, and sending it creates a private link with a 36 character token. The client opens that link in any browser, reads the full text, types their name, and signs. Marquee records the typed name, the exact timestamp to the second, and the token that was used, then the contract row closes and the signed date appears on the Spine, in the portal, and on the contracts screen. A typed signature captured this way, with the time and the identifying link, is the same form of electronic signature most agencies already accept by email. For contracts above your own comfort threshold, attach the countersigned PDF to the record as well.

Each client record holds a set of monthly results, one row per measure per period, for example sessions, leads, or revenue for August 2026. Reports read those rows directly. The cover picks the outcome measure that moved the most across the last six periods, states the change in a sentence, and prints the percentage as a single figure. Spend is treated as an input and never leads the cover. Below the cover, each measure gets its own chart and a small table of the raw values so the figures can be checked against the source. If a measure has fewer than two periods, it is listed but not charted, and the cover falls back to a plain description of the work.

Yes. Settings holds your agency name, a two or three letter mark, and one of six accent colours. The name and mark appear on the top of every portal page, on the report cover in the same hairline lockup, and on every contract. The accent colour drives the action colour across your whole workspace, the portal, and the reports, so a client of a violet agency sees violet buttons and a violet present moment line, and a client of a teal agency sees teal. The neutrals stay the same across all six so the product never drifts out of tune. The Agency and House tiers also let you serve the portal from your own domain.

About twenty minutes to a working workspace, and about a week to a real one. Naming the agency, choosing a mark and an accent, and opening the workspace takes under five minutes. If you keep the six sample clients, every screen has something on it from the first minute. Adding a real client takes about two minutes for the record and its retainer, then five to ten more for the brief and the first campaign. Most agencies have three real clients on the rail by the end of day one and remove the samples inside the first week. Historic results can be entered one month at a time, and six months of history takes roughly an hour per client.

Three tiers, billed monthly. Studio is $249 a month for up to 10 clients and 3 seats. Agency is $349 a month for up to 25 clients and 8 seats, with your name and colour on every portal and report and your own domain on the portal. House is $399 a month for up to 60 clients and unlimited seats, with manual results entry for radio, print, out of home and events, plus priority onboarding. The client cap exists because The Line is a stacked ribbon, and it stays readable at one track per client up to about sixty. Owning your copy outright starts at $15,000 once, through Provision, after which the software stops being a subscription.

Yes. Your workspace is twelve plain database tables, which are clients, briefs, campaigns, deliverables, content items, events, meetings, invoices, invoice lines, contracts, results, and updates, each with readable column names and money held as integer cents. Ask for an export and you receive one CSV per table within two working days, at no charge. Reports print to PDF from the browser with a print stylesheet that hides navigation and keeps each section on one page. Signed contracts carry the signer name, the timestamp to the second, and the signing token. If you move to an owned licence through Provision, the whole database transfers with it.
