Excel Template: Content Planning – Client Management (Employee View)
This comprehensive Excel template is designed specifically for employees managing content planning within a client-centric environment. As part of the Client Management workflow, it empowers individual contributors to track, organize, and optimize content deliverables aligned with client goals — all from an Employee View. Unlike managerial dashboards focused on high-level KPIs or revenue metrics, this template is structured for daily operational use by content coordinators, social media specialists, copywriters, and digital marketers who are directly responsible for executing campaigns. It ensures transparency between team members and clients while maintaining accountability through structured tracking and automated reporting.

=COUNTUNIQUE(ClientProfiles[Client Name])(requires Excel 365).
