Many of our marketing agency clients begin using Wrike because they have an ‘aha’ moment. They realize they need a comprehensive solution to help streamline their work and unify disparate apps. We often picture them overwhelmed, sitting at their desk with their head in their hands thinking, “There has got to be a better way.”
Of course, the good news is that there is indeed a better way. Deciding to engage with a work management solution and choosing the right one for your team amongst a crowded field are two important steps toward streamlining your work. Once those hurdles are behind you, you’ll be faced with the daunting task of rolling out that solution to your team so that you can start working in the better way you hoped for.
With Wrike, templates are the key to rolling out work management software. Wrike has built a wide range of templates that can get you up and running quickly, so you can start saving time and energy straight away.
If you’ve recently started using Wrike, or even if you believe you could be using Wrike more effectively for your marketing agency, these five templates will help jump-start your work processes so you can focus on what matters most.
1. Marketing Campaign Template
In a marketing agency, there will be multiple marketing campaigns to coordinate and oversee. With the marketing campaign template, you’ll be able to plan, launch, and track the performance of all of your campaigns in a single location.

Social media campaigns are critical to the success of almost any brand. Keeping a 360-degree view of your marketing agency’s social media campaigns takes careful planning and organization.
