PMO Pilot

Marketing timeline templates for PowerPoint

Seven timelines for marketing work at three zoom levels: the year (marketing plan), one launch or campaign (go-to-market plan, campaign calendar, product launch, launch countdown) and the week-by-week stream (content calendar), plus an event plan for conferences. Each downloads as editable PowerPoint shapes, and the add-in fills them from your planning sheet.

Free Every template here is a free .pptx download, no sign-up. 1 of the 7 are also in the add-in's free plan.

Pick by how far you're zoomed in

  • The year: Marketing Plan shows programs by channel (brand, events, digital, content) across the fiscal year, with launches and events as stars. It's the slide for annual planning and budget reviews.
  • One launch or campaign: Go-to-Market Plan puts marketing, sales and product lanes on a week scale. Campaign Calendar, which is free, does the same with a lane per owner and full dates on every bar. Product Launch and Launch Countdown count down to the day, with the elapsed time shaded.
  • Week by week: Content Calendar gives each channel a lane, series and campaigns slim bars, and every publish date a dot.
  • Events: Event Plan counts down to the event day with a lane per owner: venue, speakers, registration and sponsors.

What goes on the slide, and what stays in your tools

A slide is for alignment: what's happening, in which channel, by when, and which dates other teams depend on, such as launch day, a webinar or a press briefing. Individual posts, ad flights, briefs and approval status stay in your editorial calendar or marketing tool. If a leader can't read the slide in the first minute of the meeting, it has too many items; Split by workstream (Style → Rows & spacing) gives each channel its own slide on the same timescale.

From your planning spreadsheet

Export the plan to Excel or CSV with a name, a start date, an end date and a channel column, and upload it in PMO Pilot's Create tab: channels become lanes, and a row with only one date becomes a milestone. Quarters follow your fiscal year once you set Fiscal year starts under Style → Timescale & dates, and fiscal years can be numbered by the year they end (FY27 for July 2026 to June 2027) or the year they start.
