Seasonal & peak
Seasonal playbooks are about compression. The window is fixed, so the value is in sequencing and in deciding what you will NOT do before the week gets loud.

The ten-week countdown to Black Friday Cyber Monday: list cleanup at T-10 weeks, the offer and its floor decided at T-8, everything written and approved by T-4, so the loud week only presses send.
Plainpaper is a shared canvas where an AI agent drafts a marketing campaign as cards on a board you review and approve. It works with Claude, ChatGPT or any other MCP client, and you can start for free, no credit card required.
