Curious to see how the community is using Wrike to track Social Media, like post creations, etc.
I am thinking Kanban Boards will be the best way, but I'm open to seeing how other users utilize Wrike for Social Media.
Hi @Lea Labastida, we definitely utilize the Board view and work Kanban style! Our social media tasks are made from blueprints that our social media manager kicks off on a MONTHLY basis and then the teams tackle one week at a time, usually 1 - 3 weeks ahead of the time they need to post. We're a multi-brand company and although we try to keep our team processes the same, our social media creation has two different blueprints/processes. So yay for more inspiration for you!
1.) The overall monthly task has subtasks per WEEK and inside each one is a subtask per assignee to get the work done and approved. Here's an example, with the last week of August expanded to show the subtasks inside:
2.) The overall monthly task has subtasks broken down by the ROLE (copy, design, and stakeholder approval), with subtasks inside each per WEEK. Here I have it all expanded, but they end up having about the same # of subtasks inside each month. You can see this example below has some additional tasks visualized, starting with reviewing trends and planning about 10 days before the new month:
As far as collab'ing inside Wrike, I believe it's similar for both processes. Designers create the assets and upload them to Wrike for approval. The copywriters utilize a single Google Doc for all of the copy needed that month (I think they use the comments feature in Docs for the stakeholder review/approval).
It honestly took several years of testing different methods until they landed on these two processes. At one point a few years ago, we started with a monthly task for planning, laid out the ideas in the description with dates, and then used the built-in AI feature that converts description text to subtasks! But the team abandoned that idea after a couple of months because there was a manual effort to build in the correct subtasks for each person. Which is why blueprints rule.
Best of luck to you as you construct a process for your team!
