Press Release Writing Marketing Plan Gantt Chart
This Excel template pairs press-release writing guidance with a Gantt-chart marketing plan to help PR and marketing teams coordinate launches.

What is included in the product
Includes an editable Excel Gantt chart, 30+ pre-built marketing actions, press-release copy templates, and built-in formulas for timelines and progress tracking.
Professionally Pre-Written & Fully Customizable Plan
The template includes pre-written press release sections and a fully customizable marketing plan in Excel. You can edit language, channels, and sequencing to match any industry or campaign. It saves drafting time and ensures consistent messaging across launches.
Gantt Chart Format for Visual Planning
A built-in Gantt chart visualizes campaign timelines, task sequencing, and dependencies inside Excel. It shows start dates, durations, and overlaps so you can spot bottlenecks quickly. Color-coded bars make status and critical paths clear at a glance.
30+ Pre-Built Marketing Actions
The file ships with 30+ marketing actions covering pre-launch, launch-day, and post-launch follow-ups. Tasks include email, social, outreach, media-list building, and measurement steps. These ready tasks reduce planning omissions and speed execution.
Editable Timelines and Task Durations
Timelines and task durations are fully editable in Excel without needing to modify complex logic. Change start dates, extend durations, and the Gantt updates visually so sequencing stays intact. The flexibility fits short sprints or multi-week rollouts.
Built-In Progress Tracking
Built-in progress tracking shows percent complete and task status directly in the sheet. Conditional formatting flags overdue tasks and highlights the current week automatically. Use the tracker to run quick status checks and post-mortems.
Simplifies Team Coordination
The template simplifies coordination by letting you assign owners, set due dates, and mark task dependencies. That reduces overlaps and clarifies responsibilities across PR, marketing, and design. It works for single projects or recurring release cycles.
Zero Excel Expertise Required
No Excel expertise required (no complex formulas or macros). Color-coded cells, dropdowns, and inline instructions guide edits so non-technical users can update the plan. The sheet is beginner-friendly and avoids hidden automation.
Printable and Shareable
The template is printable and easy to share as PDF or Excel. It's compatible with Google Sheets for collaboration and client review. Use print-optimized views for status meetings or to include in client decks.
Weekly Highlight & Completion Guide
A weekly highlight row surfaces current-week priorities and a completion guide for quick standups. It summarizes tasks due, percent complete, and blockers so teams can focus on what matters this week. Use it to keep deadlines visible and accountable.
