And the work never stops. AEC marketers are trained on how to put together a proposal, get really good at editing technical writings, can do some amazing InDesign layouts and graphics, create audience engaging social media campaigns, and can coordinate a huge event with ease. However, marketers are not taught how to project manage their workload. For most, we learn on the job. Reading between the lines: we project manage based on our lessons learned. One of the simplest tools a marketing pro can use to manage workloads, expectations, and maintain their sanity is a marketing calendar. There are a variety of marketing calendars that people can use. I highly recommend one that can track requests, keep up with status updates, and communicate progress to people outside of marketing.   ###### Category - [coaching/mentoring](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/tag/coaching-mentoring) - [technology](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/tag/technology) - [data clarity](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/tag/data-clarity) - [ROI](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/tag/roi) - [process](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/tag/process) - [budget](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/tag/budget) - [project management](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/tag/project-management) ###### Popular Post - [Three Overlooked Marketing Metrics for AEC Industry](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/three-overlooked-marketing-metrics-for-aec-industry) - [Metrics vs KPIs](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/metrics-vs-kpis) - [Three Marketing Tech Essentials for Growth](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/three-marketing-tech-essentials-for-growth) - [Naming Convention for Image Files](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/naming-convention-for-image-files) - [Why Your Marketing Team Structure is Backwards](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/why-your-marketing-team-structure-is-backwards) ### Leave a Comment ### Similar Blogs [![Executive Coaching from a Marketing Operations Expert](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Executive%20Coaching%20from%20a%20Marketing%20Operations%20Expert.png?width=352&name=Executive%20Coaching%20from%20a%20Marketing%20Operations%20Expert.png)](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/executive-coaching-from-a-marketing-operations-expert) #### [Executive Coaching from a Marketing Operations Expert](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/executive-coaching-from-a-marketing-operations-expert) By [Marketing Operations Advisor](https://marketingopsadvisor.com/vlog/author/marketing-operations-advisor) 4 December 2024 Executive coaching from a marketing expert involves personalized guidance and mentorship aimed at...
