In short

An editorial calendar is a schedule of what content will be published, where, when and by whom. This template runs a 60-minute monthly planning meeting on a board laid out as four weeks plus an idea pool: the team adds ideas from their phones, dot-votes them and drags the winners into the calendar with owners.

What's inside

The agenda

By the end of this meeting, next month's calendar is filled with pieces that fit our themes, each with an owner and a publish date.

How to run it

  1. 1Hold it monthly, a week or two before the month starts, with everyone who creates or approves content.
  2. 2Put launches and key dates into their weeks first, then collect ideas from phones into the pool.
  3. 3Dot-vote, then drag the winners into weeks with an owner and a publish day. The weeks work as the month's calendar view.
  4. 4This board goes further than a plain editorial content planning agenda: the calendar, the idea pool and the owners stay on one board you can reopen next month.

Questions people ask

What is an editorial calendar?
A plan of upcoming content: titles, formats, channels, owners and publish dates, usually by week or month. It keeps content tied to themes and launches instead of last-minute ideas.
What's the difference between a content calendar and an editorial calendar?
They're often used interchangeably. An editorial calendar tends to focus on themes and bigger pieces; a content or social media calendar tracks every individual post.
How far ahead should you plan a content calendar?
A month ahead in detail works for most teams, with launches and seasonal moments sketched a quarter ahead.
