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 rep 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 Trello 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.

Who can join?

Anyone is free to join the Marketing Team in Slack and Trello. You may work as much as you like and as frequently or infrequently as you like.
