Marketing Team Workflow Reminders: Overarching Goals & Trello Cards

Thanks for all of your hard work, Marketing Team. We’ve grown tremendously since I joined the team at WCUS in 2016 and became a team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. in 2017. I’m proud that we are now 8 in all to help with timezones and guiding how you can contribute to the Marketing Team.

Please understand our mission. We reiterate it every week. Our vision for the Marketing Team is to be the go-to resource on strategy and content for other WordPress teams. Every TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing. card should reinforce this goal in some way.

We are very successful writing copy, creating video, and producing case studies. 

We’ve done an awful lot of things as a team and we love our  “done” column in Trello! Each card should have a clearly defined “done = this.” 

For now, our “done” is one of three things:

  • Publish on Marketing Blog.
  • Upload to WordPress.tv.
  • Hand off Google Doc to another team.

If you feel your card lies outside of these parameters, we may approve it. However, as our team grows, it’s important to keep the mission. There are over 15 Make WordPress Teams now and we’re proud of the way we fit in and thrive in the ecosystem.
