Overall Satisfaction with Wrike

We use Wrike for all departments, but I focus on the Creative team within the Marketing team. We use it for requests from internal and external projects and project/timeline management. We have projects and blueprints set up that are automatically launched and managed. We also use Wrike for project communication through task comments and keep timelines straight.

Pros

  • Project Management
  • Communication
  • Workload Management/Resourcing
  • Campaign Management

Cons

  • UI updates to make more intuitive and easy to learn for new users
  • Better tracking of tasks within projects
  • Google Drive integration
  • More advanced request forms
  • Projects get done!
  • Workload is managable
  • Sometimes tasks get lost in projects
Wrike works better from a Creative standpoint, in my opinion. Wrike is geared more towards visual files/elements with the proofing tools, request forms, and task set up. I am able to keep creative tasks in line more than Asana and create dependencies. Additionally, I am able to create a custom archive system, which Asana is not as geared toward. With the amount of projects we have, an archive system is essential.

Wrike is extremely well suited to creative project management. The request form is intuitive and easy to create. I love the custom creative brief it makes through the request form which makes it easy to digest for designers. The proofing tool is also an amazing resource that makes visual feedback extremely clear and easy for the team. It keeps requesters accountable through the approval tool to make sure we don't miss deadlines.
