The Complete Seasonal Campaign Planner

If you’ve ever said “next year we’ll be more organised,” this course is your future self’s thank-you note. The same big moments arrive like clockwork (Black Friday, the holidays, Valentine’s, awareness days) and yet most teams treat each one like a brand-new emergency: around 75% of brands have no systematised campaign plan, so they rebuild from scratch, burn hours, and bleed margin season after season.

This short course fixes the cycle. Using Black Friday as the worked example, you’ll learn a repeatable framework to plan, launch and measure campaigns for any key season, in about 90 minutes of lessons. Whether your countdown is three weeks or three months, you’ll leave with a ready-to-run plan for your next big moment, plus the reusable Campaign Playbook that means you never start from a blank calendar again.

Strategy Foundations

Set the goal and lock KPIs for faster buy-in, then design offers that align with your values and safeguard your margins.

The execution layer. Seasonal social before, during and after; the full Black Friday email timeline (deliverability-friendly cadences, segmentation you’ll actually use, subject lines that excite); and partnership plans with briefs, assets and mutual value.

Attribution that gives strategic insight (report like a strategist, not a spreadsheet), then assemble everything into your Seasonal Campaign Playbook.

Learning Outcomes

  • Set value-aligned seasonal goals you can defend to leaders and clients (not just “+20% YoY”)
  • Design margin-safe offers: bundles, bonuses and tiers that protect profit and brand values
  • Sequence social, email and partnerships before, during and after the big moment
  • Write partnership briefs so good collaborators stop ghosting you
  • Measure beyond revenue: engagement, list growth, retention, cause impact
  • Build your reusable Campaign Playbook and adapt it to any season on your calendar

The course is perfect for...

  • The in-house marketer. Steering seasonal campaigns with limited time, too many opinions, and not enough sign-off speed.
  • The freelancer or consultant. You need a repeatable process you can run for multiple clients without burning out (or rebuilding per client).
  • The marketing generalist. You’ve shipped promos before; now you want stronger strategy, values-aligned offers, and proper channel sequencing.

Course project

The Campaign Playbook: one system to plan, execute and archive every seasonal campaign you run, built with the Playbook template, Social Timeline Planner, Partnerships Worksheet, Audit Spreadsheet and Post Ideas Bank. Submit it for expert feedback, then rerun it every season after.
