Three Critical Project Plans

You get complete project plans for three critical advertising development projects, so you'll know just what steps to take to develop your brand, develop your logo, and develop print advertisements. Each plan provides key milestones, explains what must be done- by whom, and the length of time each task should take. The Project Plans also show task interdependencies within the project so you know which activities are critical to milestones – directly impacting their completion dates. The plans help you pro-actively discern the status of the project on an ongoing basis, manage resources and budget requirements, and track your project from inception to fruition. You can also make adjustments to the schedule when required in order to meet your delivery date.

For those of you who do a lot of traveling or prefer to read text, we provide weekly email project briefings. These project briefings mirror the project plans and cover the tasks that must be accomplished for any given project in any given week. The project briefings are based on the start/end date you designate for your projects. These briefings maximize productivity and increase effectiveness.

And to alleviate the often painful and unpredictable project planning process, we’ve developed the plans so you can start them from any day of your choosing: including an end date. So if you’ve just been informed that the company needs to deliver ad materials to a publication on December 20, you can key in December 20 and your project plan will automatically & conveniently roll back based on that end date!

These are complete project plans, ready to load into Microsoft® Project. If you use another project management system, we also provide Project export files in Excel® format, for import into your project management system.

Advertising and Media Budget Samples & Templates

The Toolkit includes sample advertising and media budgets, and Excel workbooks you can use to proactively plan your advertising development and media expenditures.  These budget templates help you manage campaigns, programs, and expenditures – so you can stay on top of changes in your budget.  Based on years of practical experience, the media plan template will help you plan ad campaigns and monitor ad flights across different media vehicles, and ensure that you don’t ‘go dark’ at critical times.
