Are you using Workfront to populate a Content/Editorial calendar? Show me!

Our team is a small Marketing team, and we have a need for an all-inclusive Content Calendar (screenshot below) that can show:

  • Spans of campaign in-market time (not working on the project time, but actual in-market/after launch time)
  • Individual Launch dates for items like social posts, email sends, blog posts, PR posts, etc.

I've done my best to solve 50% of this (the individual launch dates) by using little emoji's in each "Launch" task in a Project Timeline, so that it auto-populates on our Calendar. 

However, I have not been able to figure out a way to automate the spans of the dates that a campaign is in-market. It's making me crazy. For now, I'm manually adding them, but I'd love to fix that.

How are you doing this, if you are?? Or, even if you have something similar, bring it on! I'd love to see how others do this, and any ideas you have around naming convention, automating the tasks to the calendar, etc. 

 

Any and all input/ideas are appreciated!!

Hello! I don't know if you are using projects, tasks, issues or a combination thereof to auto populate the calendar. I think there may be several ways to solve for this, but one way would be to have a task that has the duration of the time that the campaign is in market and then have the calendar coded to display that task's duration.

    Oh good call! I just added a task to 2 campaigns to try that out -- I made the task span the entire "in market" time and added those individual tasks to the calendar. Thank you!
