5 Simple Editorial Calendar Tools for Content Marketing

by Anvil on June 6, 2014content marketing

I am constantly asked which editorial calendar tools I recommend for content marketing, and sometimes people seem disappointed in my answer. They are expecting to hear some hot, cool, trendy social media klingon that will blow their mind. But honestly, we’re talking about calendars here. You really only need a couple of basic functions for it to work. If you can add events, color code them, and easily share them with your team members, I’d say you’re good to go. Some added features such as email notifications and assigning to team members will make your life easier, but are not necessary. Anything crazier than that is what I would call bloated software.

Below is the short list of which tools I recommend. To learn more about Anvil’s content marketing services, click here.
