Editorial Calendar
Definition
Editorial Calendar: An editorial calendar is a strategic planning document that schedules content creation and publication over time. Unlike a simple content calendar, editorial calendars often include themes, campaigns, seasonal content, and tie-ins to product launches or events. They help content teams plan weeks or months ahead while maintaining flexibility for timely content.
Example Usage
“Our Q4 editorial calendar aligned content themes with our product launch, creating 12 supporting pieces across blog and video.”
