Marketing Campaign Timeline Template
A swimlane per channel so creative, paid, email and social line up.
Use this template — freeLive preview rendered with sample data in the Compact Lanes style.
Campaign plans fall apart at the seams between channels: paid goes live before the landing page is ready, or the email sequence starts while creative is still in review. This template is for a campaign manager or demand gen lead who needs those seams visible.
Swimlanes by channel are the natural fit. Each channel gets a lane, each activity is a bar, and the vertical slice through any given week tells you what is running simultaneously. Dependencies stop being implicit — you can see that creative production has to finish before the paid launch bar begins, because the bars are stacked in the same view.
Grouping drives the lanes in Tymepath: set each task's group to its channel and the swimlanes build themselves. Dates live in the editable table beside the slide, so a two-week creative slip is two edited cells, and every downstream bar you shift redraws immediately. Keep the retrospective on the timeline as a dated task rather than a good intention. When the campaign gets reviewed, export the slide as PPTX or PNG and it matches the plan you have actually been running, not the version you drew in a deck six weeks ago.
