Task tracker for managing marketing for a non-profit?

October 16, 2016 9:27 AM

I'm about to start as the advertising/marketing coordinator for a local non-profit. I'd like to set up a task tracker for myself and a small group of people, maybe 5, and of course, free would be a great price to pay. I have some experience with task trackers but would love it if someone has advice here.

I've used Basecamp, Trello, Asana & Wrike. What I'd like is to set up tasks for our various channels with a schedule. I'd like to be able to assign tasks and check off tasks. Being able to link to or collate documents and assets for a particular campaign or strategy would be great, too. We'll be using Google Docs. My team is likely to be a mix of people comfortable with these kinds of services and those less so. What's your advice?

My company uses Glip for chat and task management. It is similar to Slack in that it's essentially an IRC chat, but it also has task management. It's not as slick as Slack by any means, but I like that the task assignment and conversation happens within the context of our regular chats. It integrates with Google docs.

I think Trello could do all that. You could use different lists for each channel or campaign, and you can attach assets to cards. Trello's lack of coercive structure lends itself to experimentation and emergent conventions.
