The Excel file uses a visual Gantt chart to map tasks, dependencies, and milestones across weeks. Timelines show start dates, durations, and overlaps so teams see sequencing at a glance. The layout keeps production, creative, and media tasks aligned for execution.

You get 30+ pre-built marketing actions covering strategy, creative, production, PR, and measurement. Each action includes default durations, dependencies, and owner placeholders so you don't miss steps. Use them as-is or swap actions to fit the campaign.

Channels: PR, social, on-site, ops

Swap tasks per campaign needs

Timelines and task durations are fully editable without breaking linked dates or dependencies. Change start dates or scale durations and the Gantt recalculates to keep sequencing intact. This makes the plan flexible for delayed approvals or fast-turn activations.

Drag or input start dates

Adjust durations quickly and safely

Dependencies auto-adjust when changed

Handle approval delays cleanly

Built-in progress tracking shows percent complete at task and campaign level and uses color flags for overdue items. Progress roll-ups give a quick stand-up view and an exportable status for client reports. It highlights bottlenecks so you can reassign work fast.
