Marketing agencies
Marketing agency client report template for weekly campaign updates.
Campaign updates are easy to overstuff with screenshots and task lists. This format keeps the client focused on outcomes, campaign movement, risks, approvals, and the next decision.
Copyable agency report structure
Subject: Weekly marketing update - campaign progress, risks, and next steps
Summary: One sentence on the most important campaign movement.
Wins: 1-3 outcomes, launched assets, approvals, or measurable improvements.
Campaign progress: What moved forward across content, ads, email, SEO, creative, or analytics.
Metrics that matter: Include only numbers that change the client's understanding or decision.
Risks and blockers: Name the dependency, owner, impact, and date needed.
Next steps: The next actions your agency owns.
Client needed: The exact approval, asset, feedback, access, or budget decision needed.
Example rough notes to client report
Rough notes: LinkedIn creative drafted, email test won by 12%, paid landing page QA done, still waiting on founder quote, need budget approval for retargeting by Friday.
Client-ready report: This week the campaign moved from setup into launch readiness. The email test produced a 12% stronger result, LinkedIn creative is drafted, and paid landing-page QA is complete. The only launch blocker is the founder quote. We also need budget approval for retargeting by Friday to keep the planned media schedule.
