Marketing campaign Gantt chart

This marketing campaign Gantt chart groups strategy, creative, digital and media work into separate lanes. The dated bars show what can run in parallel, while the approval milestones establish the gates that keep an unfinished brief or asset from delaying the launch. It is useful when a campaign includes paid media, a landing page, email and analytics setup. The schedule can be shortened for a small promotion or expanded with public relations, retail and partner lanes. Keep milestones for the decisions that truly unblock the next group of tasks. Review it each week with owners, update completed dates and adjust any task that changes the opening, launch or delivery commitment.

FAQ

Common questions

What are the main lanes in a campaign Gantt chart?

Strategy, creative, digital production and media are common lanes because they usually have distinct owners.

When should creative be approved?

Before final media placement and launch communications, so downstream materials use the agreed assets and message.

Can a campaign Gantt chart show overlapping work?

Yes. Dated bars make concurrent work, such as writing copy and building a landing page, easy to see.
