Product Overview

Plan, Coordinate, and Execute Campaigns with Full Visibility

SmartSuite’s Campaign Planning & Management solution is a scalable system for planning, coordinating, and executing marketing campaigns across teams. It lets organizations move from fragmented spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and ad hoc coordination to a workflow-driven campaign system.

Organizations can manage:

  • Campaign planning and timelines
  • Campaign types (email, events, product launches, digital campaigns)
  • Campaign assets and deliverables
  • Cross-team coordination and dependencies
  • Campaign execution and tracking

In one campaign system, marketing teams see campaign status, timelines, ownership, and deliverables.

SmartSuite keeps campaign coordination current, so every stakeholder — marketing, design, content, product, and sales — works from a single plan.

As part of the SmartSuite platform, Campaign Planning & Management works with:

  • Marketing Requests & Work Management for intake and task coordination
  • Content & Asset Management for deliverables
  • Sales CRM for lead handoff and attribution
  • Campaign Performance & Marketing Analytics for results

Campaigns therefore sit within marketing operations instead of standing alone.

A campaign management system built on SmartSuite is:

  • Repeatable
  • Aligned across teams
  • Transparent and trackable
