Top Content Calendar Templates for Marketing Communications Managers

For Marketing Communications Managers, a well-structured Content Calendar is a foundational tool for planning, organizing, and tracking the many components of a comprehensive content strategy. It not only serves as a visual representation of when and where content will be published but also ensures that all marketing activities are aligned with the overall business goals. A Content Calendar template, specifically designed for use within Notion, streamlines this process by offering a customizable platform where tasks can be efficiently managed, from initial planning stages to publication, across various campaigns and platforms.

Before you begin crafting your own Content Calendar template, take a moment to explore these meticulously curated options. Each template is designed to simplify the content planning process, allowing you to focus on creating impactful messages while maintaining an organized workflow.

Use this content calendar to schedule and track all the content you're putting out — from blog posts to podcasts to tweets.

Each one is also its own Notion page, where you can stash all related notes, research, multimedia, and do all your writing in one place.
