By using this template, you can improve team alignment, streamline collaboration, and ensure every campaign is executed with clarity, consistency, and measurable results.

💡 Name it the same way your team will refer to it across tools/calendars.

Don't forget to:

• Share with your team
• Add the campaign logo or hero asset

Post-launch

The campaign isn't done at launch.

This branch closes it out properly, so the next campaign starts ahead.

What didn't

Fill this during the retrospective.

Add each element that did not work as planned. Keep it short.

What worked

Add info

Fill this during the retrospective.

Add each successful element. Keep it short.

📅 The team meeting where you figure out what worked. Calendar it before launch, not after.

💡 You can also add it as a deadline (you can also receive notifications if you schedule it here):

Reporting owner

Add owner

One person owns pulling the numbers together.

Performance check-in dates

📅 Usually day 7, day 14, day 30.
Add them now so reporting doesn't slip.

Status & Risks

The live state of the campaign.

Update this branch each week.

If a task slips, surface it here before it surfaces at launch.

Decisions needed

The points where work stops until someone signs off.

Map these now so they don't catch you by surprise in week three.
