What is included in the product
Written Marketing Plan Template in Excel Gantt Chart
The Excel version includes an editable Gantt chart, 30+ pre-built marketing actions, built-in formulas for timelines and progress, a weekly highlight sheet, and an instructions tab.
Professionally Pre-Written & Fully Customizable Plan
The template includes pre-written sections for beer launches, taproom events, and local partnerships that you can edit. It saves time by giving a finished structure you tailor to your brand and schedule. Use it for one-off campaigns or an annual marketing calendar.
Gantt Chart Format for Visual Planning
The plan uses an Excel Gantt chart for clear timeline visualization and task sequencing. You'll see when tasks overlap, which depend on others, and how launches map to weeks. That clarity reduces missed prep steps before release days.
30+ Pre-Built Marketing Actions
The file ships with 30+ ready marketing actions covering social, email, PR, events, and in-taproom promos. These tasks reflect common microbrewery needs like release emails, taproom staffing, and festival prep. Copy, edit, or remove items to match your plan.
Editable Timelines and Task Durations
Every start date and task duration is editable without breaking formulas or the Gantt logic. Change launch dates, extend prep times, or compress sprints and the timeline updates. That flexibility fits real-world delays and seasonal shifts.
Built-In Progress Tracking
Progress tracking shows percent complete, weekly snapshots, and flags for overdue work so you spot slippage fast. Conditional formatting highlights tasks behind schedule and completed items. That makes standups and reviews faster and more useful.
Simplifies Team Coordination
Assign tasks, set owners, and surface dependencies so staff know who does what and when. The template reduces overlaps and clarifies who covers taproom shifts on event days. It's useful for small teams and volunteer-driven brewery events.
Zero Excel Expertise Required
Color-coded cells, protected formula areas, and on-sheet instructions mean you don't need Excel skills. Change text, dates, and owners without touching formulas. The layout is beginner-friendly so your manager or brewer can use it immediately.
Printable and Shareable
The workbook is formatted for printing and export so you can share PDFs or upload to cloud drives for team access. Sheets print to clear one-page summaries and the Gantt prints across weeks for boardroom review. Use it in presentations or handouts.
Weekly Highlight & Completion Guide
The weekly highlight strip shows current-week priorities and completion guidance so your team focuses on what's due now. It lists key wins, blockers, and next steps for the coming week. Use it for quick standups and shift handoffs.
