User Instructions
For Employees Only: This template is your personal tool to own and track your marketing initiatives. Update your Campaign Tracker weekly—no exceptions. Use the dropdowns to maintain consistency. Never delete rows; hide or mark as "Completed" instead. Always enter actual spend before Friday EOD so leadership can view real-time dashboards on Monday.
Do not modify formulas, pivot tables, or dashboard charts—they are locked and protected for accuracy. If you encounter an error, check your data entry first (e.g., dates in correct format). Consult the “Notes & Resources” sheet for approved messaging templates and contact details for sales or analytics teams.
At month-end, review your ROI trends. Identify what worked (green rows) and what didn’t (red/yellow). Prepare a 2-minute summary to share with your manager during one-on-ones. This template is not just reporting—it’s your professional development log.
