How to Build an Integrated Marketing Plan in ClickUp
ClickUp makes it easier to organize every part of an integrated marketing plan in one workspace, from strategy documents and campaign calendars to asset production and performance tracking.
This how-to guide walks you through using features inspired by the templates and workflows shown in the integrated marketing plan templates on ClickUp.
Why Use ClickUp for Integrated Marketing Planning
An integrated marketing plan connects your campaigns across channels like email, social media, paid ads, and content. Using one platform for everything helps reduce silos and maintain a consistent message.
By setting up your plan in ClickUp you can:
- Centralize strategy docs, briefs, and creative assets
- Coordinate teams across channels and regions
- Standardize workflows with templates and custom fields
- Track campaign timelines and dependencies
- Measure performance with reports and dashboards
Step 1: Set Up Your ClickUp Workspace Structure
Before planning initiatives, design a clear structure for your workspace so everyone knows where to find projects and tasks.
Create a Space for Marketing in ClickUp
Start by creating a dedicated Space for marketing work. This becomes the home for your integrated campaigns and recurring activities.
Within the Space, add Folders such as:
- Annual Marketing Plan
- Campaigns & Launches
- Content & SEO
- Paid Media
- Email & Lifecycle
- Brand & Creative
Build Lists for Each Marketing Initiative
Inside each Folder, create Lists that represent specific initiatives or time frames, for example:
- Q1 Integrated Campaign
- Product Launch: New Feature
- Brand Awareness 2026
Each List will hold all related tasks, plus campaign-level fields such as target audience, primary offer, and KPIs.
Step 2: Use ClickUp Docs to Define Strategy
Use Docs to capture the core of your integrated strategy before breaking it into tasks.
Create a Master Integrated Marketing Plan Doc
In your marketing Space, create a Doc that outlines your overall plan. Include sections like:
- Business and marketing objectives
- Audience segments and personas
- Key value propositions
- Messaging pillars and brand voice
- Channel mix and roles
- Budget overview and timelines
Turn important sections into nested pages so your team can navigate quickly. Assign owners to specific sections for accountability.
Link Docs to ClickUp Tasks
Whenever you create briefs or playbooks, link the related Doc directly inside tasks. This keeps strategy and execution connected in one platform.
- Attach your creative brief Doc to asset production tasks
- Attach campaign strategy Docs to the parent campaign task
- Use comments and task relationships to reference relevant Docs
Step 3: Build a ClickUp Campaign Template
A campaign template saves time and ensures consistency across every integrated initiative.
Design Standard Campaign Fields
On your campaign List or parent task, add custom fields such as:
- Campaign type (launch, evergreen, seasonal)
- Primary goal (leads, signups, revenue, awareness)
- Target audience
- Primary offer and CTA
- Start and end dates
- Budget and spend status
These fields help you filter, sort, and report on campaigns later.
Create Channel-Specific Subtasks in ClickUp
Within your campaign template, add subtasks for each major channel:
- Email nurture sequence
- Social media posts
- Blog or landing page content
- Paid search and paid social
- Webinar or event promotion
- PR and partnerships
Each subtask can have its own checklist, assignee, due date, and attachments. Once your structure is ready, save the campaign as a task template so your team can reuse it.
Step 4: Plan Schedules with ClickUp Views
Visualize timelines and workloads with different views so cross-functional teams stay aligned.
Use Calendar View for Channel Coordination
Add a Calendar view to your campaign or content Lists. Use it to see:
- Email send dates
- Blog publish dates
- Social post schedules
- Launch and promotion periods
Drag and drop tasks on the Calendar to update dates quickly. Color-code by status or channel for clarity.
Use Gantt View in ClickUp for Dependencies
Switch to Gantt view to map the full project timeline. Set dependencies such as:
- Creative design must finish before ad setup
- Landing page must be live before email send
- Tracking must be implemented before launch
This helps you avoid bottlenecks and ensure on-time delivery.
Step 5: Standardize Execution with ClickUp Templates
Templates keep every integrated marketing project consistent, even as teams grow.
Task and Subtask Templates
Create templates for repeated workflows, such as:
- Blog post production
- Email campaign build and QA
- Social media content batches
- Creative asset design and review
Include checklists for steps like approvals, QA, and tracking setup.
View and Dashboard Templates in ClickUp
Set up repeatable views and dashboards tailored to marketing needs:
- Campaign Kanban board grouped by status
- Workload view to balance assignees
- Dashboard showing active campaigns and performance widgets
Once built, duplicate them for new projects or teams to keep reporting aligned.
Step 6: Collaborate and Align Teams in ClickUp
Integrated marketing requires close collaboration between strategy, creative, and channel managers.
Use Comments, Mentions, and Proofing
Keep feedback in context by using:
- Task comments for clarifications and decisions
- @mentions to loop in stakeholders quickly
- Proofing on images and documents for precise annotations
This reduces scattered messages and keeps a single source of truth.
Share Views with Stakeholders
Create stakeholder-friendly views that highlight what matters most, such as launch milestones, in-flight tasks, and risk items. Limit noise by hiding unnecessary fields.
Step 7: Track Performance and Optimize in ClickUp
Once campaigns go live, use your workspace to monitor results and feed learnings back into the plan.
Log Metrics with Custom Fields
Add reporting fields to your campaign or channel tasks, for example:
- Impressions, clicks, and CTR
- Leads and conversion rate
- Revenue and ROAS
- Cost per lead or acquisition
Update them manually or via integrations, then use filters and groups to compare outcomes across campaigns.
Review Integrated Performance
Schedule recurring review tasks to evaluate performance across channels. Summarize insights in Docs and link them to relevant campaign tasks so findings inform future planning.
