Creating Google Drive Folders for Marketing Content

✅ Mission To establish a clear and repeatable structure for organizing marketing content files in both Google Drive and HubSpot. This ensures all marketing materials are easily accessible, properly labeled, and consistently formatted efficiently

🎯 Desired Outcome

  • Content templates are used and filled out accurately.

  • All assets (raw videos, edited videos, blogs) are housed in organized folders for each week.

  • HubSpot file storage mirrors the folder structure of Google Drive.


🚫 Unacceptable Actions

  • Skipping the Pillar Blog setup for the first week.

  • Not using or duplicating the correct templates.

  • Using vague or inconsistent folder names.

  • Forgetting to set up both Raw and Edited folders.

  • Failing to match Google Drive folders in HubSpot.


🛠 Step-by-Step Instructions


🔹 1. Check the Marketing Calendar

  • Open the Marketing Calendar in Google Drive.

  • Review the current month to identify if Kelly (KDP) has already uploaded blog topics.

  • Take note of:

    • Pillar Blog → Always the first week of the month.

    • Supporting Blogs → All other weeks.


🔹 2. Duplicate the Blog Template

  • Navigate to the Marketing Assets Folder in Google Drive.

  • Locate the templates:

    • Pillar Blog Template

    • Supporting Blog Template

  • Right-click → Make a Copy of the appropriate template for your week.

  • Rename the copy:

    Place the file in the appropriate monthly folder.
    [MM.DD.YY] – [Blog Title] (KDP)

    Example: 07.01.25 – 3 Tips to Improve Policy Retention (KDP)


🔹 3. Fill Out the Blog Document

Open the newly duplicated blog document and update the following fields:

  • Author: KDP

  • Date To Post: Use the exact week or date from the Marketing Calendar.

  • Keyword: Get this from the Marketing Calendar’s “Keyword” column.

  • 3-Minute Video Title: Add the planned title if applicable.


🔹 4. Create Google Drive Folders

Now, organize folders to store all content files associated with the blog.

📁 In Google Drive:

  • Go to the Marketing Content Folder (inside your shared Google Drive).

  • Create two subfolders for each weekly blog:

    • Raw Video Folder

    • Edited Video Folder

  • Name each folder like this:

    For the Edited Video folder, always include “- Edited Video” at the end of the folder name after the blog title.
    [MM.DD.YY] – [Blog Title]

    Example: 07.01.25 – 3 Tips to Improve Policy Retention

  • Inside each, you’ll later store raw recordings, edited clips, and blog assets.


🔹 5. Mirror the Folder Structure in HubSpot

📁 In HubSpot:

  • Go to: Hubspot - Content > Files

  • Click: “Create Folder”

  • Use the same folder name as in Google Drive:

     
    [MM.DD.YY] – [Blog Title]
  • This folder will hold any HubSpot content elements like CTAs, graphics, and scheduled post media.
