Asset Type	Text (List: Video, Image, Blog Post, E-book, Email Template, Social Media Post)	Categorizes the asset for reporting and filtering purposes.

Creator / Owner	Text (Name or Team)	Assigns accountability. Can use data validation for team members.
Status	Text (List: Draft, In Review, Approved, Published, Archived)	Tracks lifecycle stage to manage workflow efficiently.

Formulas Required

The template utilizes dynamic formulas to automate tracking and reporting:

Status Color Indicator: Uses =IF(Status="Approved", "Green", IF(Status="Published", "Blue", IF(Status="In Review", "Yellow", "Red"))) to flag status color dynamically.
Late Flag: =IF(AND(Due Date < TODAY(), Status<>"Published"), "Overdue!", "")
Average Performance Score by Asset Type: Use =AVERAGEIF(Asset_Type_Column, "Video", Performance_Score_Column) to analyze asset effectiveness.
Campaign Completion Rate: Calculate via =COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Published") / COUNTA(Status_Column).

Conditional Formatting Rules

Overdue Tasks: Highlight red background for rows where Due Date < Today() and status is not "Published".

Status Column: Apply color-coded text based on status:

Draft: Gray
In Review: Yellow
Approved: Light Green
Published: Blue
Archived: Dark Gray/Italics

This template is optimized for real-time tracking during the Marketing Planning cycle. By integrating asset lifecycle data with campaign performance, teams gain actionable insights to refine future strategies.
