Atarim for Marketing Managers: Integrating Atarim into Campaign Management

Run landing page reviews, stakeholder sign-off, and launch deadlines in one place — instead of a spreadsheet, a thread, and a meeting.

Before you start

Relevant for

  • Marketing managers running campaigns across designers, developers, copywriters, and stakeholders who all need to see the same thing before launch.

Required knowledge

  • Familiarity with projects and tasks. No technical background needed.

Tools & resources needed

  • A project per campaign or property, the URLs you are reviewing, and the email addresses of the stakeholders who need to sign off.

Campaign work fails on coordination, not on craft. Legal wants a wording change, the designer already shipped the version legal was looking at, the CMO approves something in a meeting nobody minuted, and launch day arrives with three people holding different versions of the truth. Atarim collapses that by putting review, deadlines, and sign-off on the campaign asset itself.

Feedback, deadlines, and sign-off attached to the page itself rather than scattered across tools.

Campaign work fails on coordination, not on craft. Legal wants a wording change, the designer already shipped the version legal was looking at, the CMO approves something in a meeting nobody minuted, and launch day arrives with three people holding different versions of the truth.

Atarim collapses that by putting review, deadlines, and sign-off on the campaign asset itself. This guide covers the parts of the product that matter when you are the person accountable for the launch date.

Structuring Campaigns

The first decision is what a project represents. Two patterns work, and mixing them is what creates mess.

  • A project per campaign. Best for time-boxed work with a launch date — a product launch, a seasonal push. Everything for that campaign lives together and can be closed out when it ships.
  • A project per property. Best for ongoing work on a site or channel you keep returning to, with campaigns tracked through tags and stages instead.
  • Campaign projects grouped into folders on the Projects screen
    Folders keep a portfolio of campaigns navigable rather than a flat list

    Folders group related projects, which is what keeps a portfolio of campaigns navigable rather than a flat list of thirty.

    Choose one pattern per team and write it down
    Half your campaigns as projects and half as tags inside a shared project produces a dashboard nobody trusts, and the cost lands on whoever joins next. Explore Adding And Managing Folders In Atarim

    Running a Review on Campaign Assets

    Reviewers open the page and click the thing they are commenting on. Each comment becomes a task carrying the page, the element, the browser, the viewport, and a screenshot of what the reviewer saw.

    For you that removes the two most expensive parts of campaign review: working out what someone meant, and working out whether it has been done.

  • Share the campaign with your reviewers using the steps in the next section.
  • Ask them to comment directly on the page rather than replying by email. Each comment becomes a trackable task rather than a line in a thread.
  • Watch the task list as feedback arrives. Contradictory feedback surfaces during the round, when it is still cheap to resolve.
  • A reviewer leaving feedback on a campaign page
    Each comment becomes a task carrying the page, element, browser and viewport
    Send the review link, not a PDF
    The moment an asset leaves Atarim as an attachment, feedback comes back as email and you are the integration layer again. See Atarim For Clients And Stakeholders

    Tracking Campaign Deadlines

    Project stages give a campaign a visible timeline. The panel is reached from the bottom bar, with the tooltip “track project stages and deadlines”, and it is headed Project Stages and Deadlines.

    What it showsWhy it matters to you
    Active StageWhat the campaign is currently in, so nobody has to ask.
    Due dateWhen the current stage is expected to close.
    Time remainingHow long is left, in plain terms rather than a date to calculate from.
    OverdueHow far past due something is — the number you take to a status meeting.
    Completed StagesWhat has already shipped, each marked Complete.
    The panel appears only once stages exist
    A project with no stages set up shows nothing at all in the bottom bar. If your reviewers say they cannot see the timeline, that usually means the stages have not been created rather than that they lack permission.
    Late feedback is the expensive kind
    A comment during the stage it relates to is a change. The same comment after that stage closes means revisiting work already built on. Make the active stage visible to reviewers at the point you ask them to review. Read Project Stages

    Sharing a Campaign for Review

    Reviewers reach the work through Share, available on the project and from the bottom bar while you are on a page. The window separates the two audiences you deal with.

    Inviting Stakeholders and Clients

    Guests need no account, so an email address is all it takes to bring someone in.

    Instructions:

  • Open Share and go to the guests section, headed Add Guests or Clients. The description explains the scope — they are invited to collaborate on this project only, and see a simplified interface tailored for non-technical users.
  • Type an email address and press enter. Repeat for each person.
  • Optionally select Add a Note and give them context for what you want reviewed.
  • Select Instant Invite – No Login Needed. A confirmation reports the invitation was sent.
  • The Add Guests or Clients section of the Share window
    Add Guests or Clients — an instant invite with no login needed

    Inviting Your Own Team

    Team invitations sit in a separate section from guests, because the access they grant is different.

    Instructions:

  • In Share, use the team section, headed Who would you like to invite?
  • Add email addresses, pressing enter after each.
  • Optionally answer Would you like to add a note? with why you are inviting them.
  • Select Invite.
  • The team invitation section of the Share window
    Inviting your own team, with an optional note

    Controlling Who Can Open the Project

    Under General Access, the question Who can view this? offers two settings.

  • Anyone with the link — anyone holding the link can access the project.
  • Only people with access — restricted to people you have invited.
  • The General Access settings controlling who can view the project
    General Access — anyone with the link, or only people you invite

    A separate Enable Guest Mode option launches Atarim in Comment Mode for guests by default, which removes a step for reviewers who would otherwise land in Browse mode and wonder why clicking does nothing.

    Copy Link gives you the link to paste into a brief or a calendar invite, and confirms with Copied!. Everyone already invited is listed under People with Access, searchable, with controls to change their access level, resend an invitation, or remove them. The project owner cannot be removed.

    Choose the access setting deliberately
    Anyone with the link is convenient for a quick stakeholder review and means the link works for anyone it gets forwarded to. For anything under embargo — unannounced pricing, a launch date, an acquisition — use Only people with access.
    Use the note field rather than a separate briefing email
    It arrives with the invitation, so the context is in front of the reviewer at the moment they open the work instead of buried in their inbox. Read Working With External Collaborators And Clients

    Setting Up a Campaign Timeline

    Stages are created from the project itself, through the project actions menu.

    Instructions:

  • Find the campaign project on the Projects screen and open its actions menu.
  • Select Set Project Stages. A window opens for managing the project’s milestones.
  • Under Create a new Milestone, enter a Milestone Title — the field suggests something like “Sprint 1”.
  • Set a Due Date.
  • Save the milestone. It appears under Active Milestones, and the stages panel then becomes available to reviewers on the project.
  • As each stage finishes, use Mark as complete. Completed stages move out of the active list, and the control reverses if you mark one complete too early.
  • Creating a milestone with a title and due date
    Creating a milestone — a title and a due date is all it takes
    Project stages are a paid feature
    The menu item shows the minimum plan required where it is not included. If Set Project Stages appears locked, that is a plan matter rather than a permissions one, and the stages panel will not appear for reviewers until it is available.
    Name stages after decisions, not activities
    “Copy approved” and “Legal signed off” tell a stakeholder whether they are late; “Phase 2” tells them nothing, and they will ask you instead. See Project Stages

    Organising Work with Tags

    Tags cut across projects, which makes them the right tool for anything that is not a project boundary — a channel, a market, a campaign phase, a legal review batch.

    Tags are added on a task, under Add Tags, with the field prompting you to type and press enter to create a new tag. Where none exist yet, it invites you to create your first tag.

    Agree a small tag vocabulary before you start
    Because tags are created by typing, a team of six will otherwise produce paid-social, Paid Social, and paidsocial within a fortnight, and none of them filter together. Learn More About Using Tags For Task Organization

    Seeing the Campaign Pipeline

    Boards give you the view a list cannot: where everything is at once. Two boards are available from the board switcher.

    BoardUse it for
    Status BoardWhere work stands — what is open, in progress, waiting on review, and done.
    Priority BoardWhat matters most, which is the view for deciding what gets dropped when a date is at risk.
    Status Board for standups, Priority Board the week before launch
    The second one answers the only question that matters late in a campaign: if something has to slip, what is it. Explore Kanban Boards

    Using the InnerCircle on Campaign Pages

    Atarim’s AI review team can pass over a page before your stakeholders do. Two members are directly relevant to campaign work, and all of them can be switched on or off individually.

    AgentReviews for
    LexiContent and tone — the copy itself.
    IndexSEO and performance.
    NaviUser experience and accessibility.
    PixelDesign — layout and visual execution.
    GlitchFunctionality — things that break.
    ClaroClarity, including a strategic overview before the others join.

    Findings come back in the Review tab in the sidebar, listed as subtasks under the review and grouped by the viewport they were found in. Selecting one takes you to it on the page. At least one agent must be enabled for a review to run, and only one review runs at a time.

    Run a review before the stakeholder round, not after
    A broken form or a failing contrast ratio found by your CMO costs more than the same issue found by an agent an hour earlier — and it spends stakeholder attention on defects rather than on the message. See Getting The Most Out Of The InnerCircle

    Getting Sign-Off You Can Point To Later

    Page approval turns “yes, that’s fine” into a recorded state on the asset. Approved pages are marked as such, so approval is something you can produce three weeks later rather than something you remember.

    Whether a given stakeholder can approve depends on how their access is set up — page status controls are not switched on for client and guest accounts by default. If someone needs to sign work off formally, that has to be arranged deliberately.

    Approval is a plan feature
    Page approvals are not available on every plan, and the controls simply do not appear where they are not included. Confirm it is available before you build a launch process that depends on recorded sign-off. Read The Client Approval Workflow In Atarim

    Reporting on How the Process Is Working

    Analytics measures the review process itself, which is the part of campaign delivery that usually has no numbers attached to it at all.

    MetricWhat it tells you
    Feedback CyclesHow long a round of review actually takes.
    Avg Task TurnaroundHow quickly feedback becomes done work.
    Guest Response TimeHow long stakeholders take to respond — often the real bottleneck.
    Revisions Per TaskHow many passes it takes to land a change.
    Revision Reduction RateWhether that is improving over time.
    Tasks Completed On Time PercentageDelivery against the dates you committed to.
    Client Vs Team Contribution RatioHow much of the input is coming from your side versus theirs.
    High Priority Task PercentageWhether everything is being marked urgent, which means nothing is.
    Most Active ProjectsWhere the work is actually concentrated across your campaigns.
    Guest Response Time is the one to watch
    Most campaigns that slip do so waiting on stakeholders, not on production. Having that as a number changes the conversation from “the team was slow” to something specific you can act on. Learn More About Analytics & Metrics

    Keeping Internal Conversation Internal

    Tasks and comments can be marked internal, which hides them from guests and clients. For campaign work this is what lets your team discuss budget, pushback, and what to concede without any of it landing in a stakeholder’s review.

    Confirm it is enabled before relying on it
    Internal tasks depend on your plan, and the control reports a lock where the feature is unavailable. That is not an assumption to get wrong when the discussion is about a client or an executive. Explore Internal Tasks

    Automating the Chasing

    Workflows handle the follow-up that otherwise lands on you — notifying the right people when a task changes, pushing updates into Slack, or triggering something in another tool through Zapier, Make, or webhooks.

    Automate the reminder, not the decision
    A workflow that nudges a stakeholder who has not responded saves you the awkward email; a workflow that reassigns or closes work on their behalf just moves the confusion somewhere less visible. Read Email Notifications: Controlling What Your Workspace Sends

    Known Limitations

  • The stages panel only appears once stages exist on the project, and is hidden while browsing.
  • Page approvals and internal tasks depend on your plan and are simply absent where unavailable.
  • Client and guest accounts cannot set page status by default, so stakeholder sign-off has to be arranged deliberately.
  • Tags are free text, so consistency is a matter of team discipline rather than something enforced.
  • Project stages are a paid feature and the stages panel will not appear for anyone until they are available and created.
  • Nothing crosses workspaces. Campaigns split across workspaces are managed separately.
  • Analytics measures the review process, not campaign performance. It will not tell you how the campaign did.
  • Which widgets appear is set by the server, so the set available to you may differ from the examples above.
  • FAQs

    Should each campaign be its own project?

    For time-boxed campaigns with a launch date, yes. For ongoing work on one property, use a single project with tags and stages instead.

    Can stakeholders review without an Atarim account?

    Yes. They give a name and email so their comments can be attributed, but no account is required.

    How do I show a campaign deadline to reviewers?

    Create milestones through Set Project Stages in the project actions menu. The panel then shows the active stage, its due date, and time remaining.

    How do I invite a stakeholder who has no Atarim account?

    Use Add Guests or Clients in the Share window and send an instant invite — no login needed.

    Can I stop the review link being forwarded?

    Set Who can view this? to Only people with access instead of Anyone with the link.

    Can I get formal sign-off recorded?

    Yes, through page approval, where it is included on your plan and enabled for the people approving.

    Can my team discuss things stakeholders should not see?

    Yes, using internal tasks and notes, where enabled on your plan.

    Which board should I use?

    The Status Board for day-to-day progress, the Priority Board when deciding what slips.

    Can the AI check my campaign copy?

    Yes. Lexi reviews content and tone; Index covers SEO and performance.

    Does Atarim report on campaign performance?

    No. Analytics measures the review and delivery process — cycle times, turnaround, revisions — not marketing results.

    Can I automate chasing stakeholders?

    Yes, through workflows and notifications, including into Slack or other tools.

    Can tags be used across projects?

    Yes, which is what makes them useful for channels, markets, and phases that cut across project boundaries.

    Common issues

    • No stages panel on a project — no milestones exist yet. Use Set Project Stages from the project actions menu.
    • Set Project Stages appears locked — project stages are not included on your plan. The menu item shows the minimum plan required.
    • A reviewer opened the link and cannot comment — they may be in Browse mode. Turn on Enable Guest Mode so guests land in Comment Mode.
    • A stakeholder cannot approve a page — page status is not enabled for client accounts by default, and approvals depend on the plan.
    • Tags are not grouping as expected — they were probably typed inconsistently. Spelling and case matter.
    • Feedback is still arriving by email — reviewers were sent an export rather than the review link.
    • The AI review will not start — enable at least one agent, and wait for any review already running to finish.
    • Internal tasks are locked — not included on your plan. Do not assume anything is hidden until it is enabled.
    • A stakeholder cannot see the project — they have not been shared in, or they are looking at a different workspace.
    • Everything is marked High Priority — check High Priority Task Percentage. When most tasks are urgent, priority has stopped carrying information.
    • Analytics is not showing campaign results — it measures the review and delivery process, not campaign performance.

    Conclusion

    Decide whether a campaign is a project or a tag and stick to it. Put the deadline where reviewers can see it, run an AI pass before the stakeholder round, get approval recorded rather than spoken, and use Guest Response Time when someone asks why a launch moved. The tooling is not the hard part — the discipline of keeping review in one place is.

    Everything here depends on the right people being in the project to begin with. Explore Managing Team Members & Collaborators

    • Pick one structure — project per campaign or project per property — and apply it consistently.
    • Agree a tag vocabulary before the team starts inventing one.
    • Send the review link, never an export.
    • Use the note field on an invitation instead of a separate briefing email.
    • Name stages after decisions, not activities.
    • Set stages so reviewers can see the deadline without asking you.
    • Run an AI pass before the stakeholder round, not after.
    • Get approval recorded on the page rather than agreed in a meeting.
    • Watch Guest Response Time before blaming production for a slipped date.
    • Automate the reminder, never the decision.
