NEW: Visualize your team’s entire workload in one place

Marketing job descriptions are interesting. Cos’ despite what they suggest… Marketing isn’t the ONLY thing you do. Yes, you’ve got blog posts, campaigns, and stakeholder presentations... BUT on top of that, there’s a general (and often unspoken) expectation that you have a firm grasp on your team’s progress and workload - at any given moment ? ...so in reality… That lil’ title of yours should really say: Marketer + accidental project manager with all the above responsibilities, plus...
  • Coordinate internal resources for flawless execution << i.e. balance those umpteen marketing projects like a Cirque du Soleil tightrope walker ?
  • Ensure resource availability and allocation << i.e. don’t kill your team, give them the right amount of work each week, and plan ahead 
  • And develop detailed project plans to monitor and track progress << oh you mean a like proactively plan out my team’s project workloads?

If your job title is "Marketer (+accidental project manager), this new feature from CoSchedule is worth a gander!
