Excel Template Description: Marketing Planning Weekly Planner (Client View)
This comprehensive Excel template is specifically designed for Marketing Planning teams and clients who require a structured, collaborative, and visually intuitive weekly planning system.

The Client View version ensures that clients can easily understand campaign progress without needing technical knowledge of Excel or marketing analytics tools.
Sheet Names and Purpose
- Main Weekly Planner (Client View): This is the primary dashboard used by clients to track weekly marketing activities, goals, KPIs, and overall campaign performance. It features a clean layout with conditional formatting for quick visual assessment.
- Execution Tracker: A detailed tab where internal teams log daily tasks, assign responsibilities, update statuses (e.g., Not Started, In Progress, Completed), and attach notes or links to assets.
- KPI Dashboard: A real-time analytics hub showing key performance indicators such as reach, engagement rate, conversion rate, cost-per-acquisition (CPA), and ROI. Data is dynamically pulled from the Execution Tracker.

- Resource Allocation: Tracks team member availability, budget usage per channel or campaign, and equipment/software needs.
