What will your team gain from using this template?
As a marketing department, you need to have a clear understanding of requests from other departments, with access to vital information at your fingertips. That’s why this template includes a ready-made request form with custom fields to ensure you get all the details you need.
When creative assets are required, the requestor will simply answer the questions listed on this form. These include: what is the project description? What type of content is being requested? Who is the target persona? When is it due? They will then submit the request form to the marketing project manager or traffic manager.
The content development process has now begun. As a project manager, you can use this template to guide you through the following three steps:
Step 1: Organize intake
The request form will come in via your intake folder. Take a look at the details and ensure all the necessary information has been provided for your team to start the task. Cross-tag the request and add it to the relevant folder or folders.
Now, you must check if your team has the capacity to complete the task. Consult your team dashboard to see who has the most bandwidth and assign your task accordingly. Want more visibility on your project timeline? Switch from Table view to Gantt chart. Drag and drop tasks, add dependencies, and move milestones with a single click.
Step 2: Kickstart workflow
Remove the project from your intake folder to initiate the next stage of content operations. You can tweak the settings so this action triggers a status change (e.g., move to “Content Review” or “In Revisions”).
Use the customizable workflow to update task statuses and track progress. Get a bird’s-eye view of your projects with an easy-to-configure Gantt chart. Create individual folders and subfolders for each task to eliminate confusion once and for all.
Step 3: Manage approvals
It’s important to keep track of your creative assets as they move through the various stages of development — from “In Production” to “Review” to “Completed.” View this information at a glance with Wrike’s custom dashboards so you can update clients instantly.
Give each team member a clear view of their current tasks, and connect each task to its relevant campaign to keep other stakeholders in the loop.
