Communications or Public Relations Teams Using Workfront

Avatar

Level 4
Hi, Which Communications / Public Relations teams are using Workfront? Our Comms team tackles various requests from short form stories, to drafting innovation articles for publication, creating testimonial videos, engaging with our marketing panning teams on traditional campaigns. Would any of these teams be willing to have a conversation about how you've documented process and used Workfront for this Comms work? We'd also be interested in seeing if teams have represented Editorial / Content calendars in Workfront. Please reply here or reach out directly if you're willing to discuss in detail! Thanks, Jaimeson Jaimeson Wennerstrum HealthPartners

Hi Jamieson. We use Workfront for all our communications work (internal and external/media/pr/social). We have programs set up for media, social media, etc., then track all our regular ongoing work per quarter, such as monitoring, etc. in one master quarterly project. We set up separate projects for any larger standalone communications plans or initiatives (eg. social ambassadors), but would list them as social media in the program for reporting. We have templates for news releases, media pitch campaigns, etc. The template tasks list out all the reviews/approvals necessary and distribution tasks. As for an editorial calendar, we still use a Google spreadsheet for that, but I'd be interested to know too if anyone has built or is using Workfront for an editorial calendar. Hope this helps.
