How To Create a Master Content Calendar In ASANA | All of your Campaigns In One Place |🔥

[@TiffanyAlexandriaIngle]

This is exactly what my team needs right now. Appreciate you for making this video!

[@MarquisMurray]

You're very welcome! Let me know if you have any questions.

[@chadthomas6207]

Another great one. I never comment on YT video but marquis has brought a ton of value

[@MarquisMurray]

I appreciate that! Let me know if there are any videos you'd like me to do!

[@samyah_giracreative]

Hi! Your content is very complete! Thanks for that. Could you explain how do you define the due dates? For example, one social media post has two (or more) due dates, right? One due date for the post to be ready and other one for the content to be published. I'm struggling dealing with that to move my team to Asana. Thank you!

[@MarquisMurray]

I’d keep the due date as the publish date. Then you can use other date custom fields for other steps in the process to get the post finalized. Or you can use subtasks with due dates assigned to those. There are a few options you can explore here. Hope that helps.

[@magnoliaheartc]

Boom! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, man!!

[@MarquisMurray]

You’re very welcome!

[@rashedkhalfan]

thanks a lot. you content is so much valuable

[@MarquisMurray]

Glad to hear that-thank you!

[@ChrystalHurst]

This is super helpful. You are making me actually consider paying for Asana! lol Question for you though. Is there a way to have two due dates? The date for social media to be due is different than the day the social, blog, podcast is posted or released? Totally unrelated...would love to see if you have thoughts on how Clickup compares to Asana. Someone told me that the flexibility I need to do certain things would be better in Clickup but I don't know if I want to do the move!

[@MarquisMurray]

Glad you found this helpful. You can add a new “date” custom field to your project that allows you to keep track of other important dates that are not the due date. Regarding ClickUp, I don’t know enough about it, but my experience has been that a lot of those tools are the same on the back end. Yes, ClickUp provides more flexibility but at its core, whether it’s Monday, ClickUp, or Asana, they will work the same and will depend on how you need to use the tool. My advise, if you’re already using one and know it, keep using it unless something is truly wrong or missing. Don’t fall victim to shiny objects.

Can I something like this for an already existing project we are actually looking for kinda like a timeline view or a callender view which gives possibility to see things like post, emails, and events ...

[@MarquisMurray]

You sure can. It would take some restructuring of your existing projects, but yes, it’s very much achievable.

[@FaranakMedrano]

Thanks Marquis! This is amazing. If I have a comprehensive Marketing Calendar, is there a need for an Editorial Calendar? What would be the pros to having an Editorial Calendar as well?

[@MarquisMurray]

With the marketing calendar as the hub that collects all marketing channels, your editorial calendar would feed into it, displaying all of your relevant post dates.

[@MichelleSmithinAsheville]

Thanks! Very helpful!

[@MarquisMurray]

You’re welcome!

[@othinfluence8729]

Dope content!

[@MarquisMurray]

Thank you!

[@MomUschool]

What recording program do you use? I love the ability to show the floating head at times and other times you can zoom in on the screen. Please share!

[@MarquisMurray]

I use ecamm live and build the scenes there to make editing easier. It’s a great program.

[@TerranceBryantTheWiz]

Enjoyed this content. I think I have a few people to share this with. Thanks for giving us the workflow end to end.

[@MarquisMurray]

Awesome, thank you! And thanks for sharing!

[@aubreybrennan8306]

Thank you for this video! Is there a way to get the subtasks to show up on the calendar too? I tried to add the subtasks to my "print" channel for example, but they don't appear on the calendar - only the main task.

[@MarquisMurray]

That’s right. Subtasks aren’t visible in the calendar view yet. They’re in all the other views, but not this one. You’d have to quickly switch to another view to see that info.

[@altrdesigncompany2872]

Perfect, thank you!!

[@MarquisMurray]

You're very welcome!

[@gabs_explores]

So valuable! Incredibly easy to follow and just what I needed for my content strategy right now

[@MarquisMurray]

Thanks for the comment! So glad that you found it helpful!

[@nathanmccord706]

Could you do this with projects from across teams?

[@MarquisMurray]

You absolutely could.

[@cec-smithvilletx9200]

Do I have to create a channel type to do this? I see that you go into your computer library and pull up channel that way, so it's something you had already created. How do I do this so I can pull it in under custom field?

[@MarquisMurray]

That’s correct. You have to create the custom fields before you can add it to the project. I already had mine created.

[@KatieWolfe-d4d]

Hey Marquis, thank you so much for this crash course! From an organization perspective, can you please give your opinion on the following: Sections are currently broken into social, email, marketing assets (flyers, brochures, etc). We use FB, linked in, but we are also able to post on partner FB pages. We have about 15 partners/suppliers we work with, each with their own allowance of posts to their fb, and emails just to their clients, etc. Do you advise making a section for each partner? OR keep three basic sections, and then adding their company as the channel? Just not sure if it will get confusing to have multiple "fb posts" as tasks, and then label the channels of the fb post (since FB could technically be a channel?). What would allow for easiest view/consolidation of tasks?

[@MarquisMurray]

Great question! I’d establish colour coding for each social or content channel and then as you suggested, create a section for each partner. When viewing the calendar, you won’t see the sections, so it will never feel like you have too make, but you will be able to see the colour channel and then add a prefix to each partner so you can quickly identify it in the calendar view.

[@patriciamaeperalta414]

This is exactly what my client wanted to have on our asana! Thank youuuu! I just have one question, I’m trying to follow the settings you setup but I am not seeing the option to add a field for “Channel” on our account. Do you have any idea? I would greatly appreciate your help!

[@MarquisMurray]

Awesome. You’re very welcome! Are you an member in the account or a guest? Are you saying you can’t add custom fields?

[@patriciamaeperalta414]

@@MarquisMurray Hey Marquis! Yes I am a member on the account. I can add custom field but whenever I go to “choose from library” I am not seeing the option for “Channel”. Is there any additional set I need to make to add the option “channel” for custom field? Thanks so much for you time Marquis!

[@bunnyd94]

ASANA HAS BEEN UPDATED AND THE RULES ARE DIFFERENT. I HOPE THIS CAN BE UPDATED.

[@MarquisMurray]

I’m always working on refreshing old content and creating new content. Stay tuned.

[@joyousjustice]

Does some of what you're teaching require a paid version of Asana?

[@MarquisMurray]

Yes. A lot of what I teach requires an advanced plan.

[@joyousjustice]

@@MarquisMurray - Thanks for your helpful reply!

[@TerranceBryantTheWiz]

It must be ASANA Friday…. I’ll take it over any MONDAY any day

[@MarquisMurray]

LOL. I'm going to start saying this in my videos.
