Campaigns & Tasks

Stop running a project tracker. Start running campaigns.

Your to-do list keeps getting longer and your traffic does not. That gap is the point: a project tracker tells you what is due, but a campaign tells you what is worth doing in the first place. Recon reads your business context, your competitors, and your audit to pick the campaigns most likely to win — local search you can own, AI Overviews where you have an angle, customer questions nobody else has answered well. Each campaign decomposes into tasks. Each task lands on the right agent: Quill to write, Hype to amplify, Press to publish. The brief and the work share one workspace.

Recon

Strategist. Reads your audit, your competitors, your search landscape — picks the next winnable target and writes the brief.

What is campaigns & tasks?

A campaign-and-task workspace where Recon picks winnable targets, writes the brief, and decomposes it into tasks that the content agents (Quill, Hype, Press) deliver against — so the strategy and the execution stay in the same tool.

This isn't for you if…

You already run a structured marketing org with a content calendar, a brief template, and a project manager. You will find this prescriptive. It is built for the operator who needs the strategy and the execution to be the same tool, not a third layer on top of two existing ones.

Most marketing tools answer "what is due this week?". Recon answers the harder one: "what is worth doing at all?".

What you get

Built from your real business, not a generic template.

Recon scores opportunities by winnability — not just keyword volume
Campaign briefs that name the angle, the proof points, and the agent who delivers
Tasks that decompose from the brief — no manual translation step
Agent-aware: a Quill task lands on Quill, a Hype task lands on Hype
Status filters that answer "what is in flight, what is blocked, what shipped"
One workspace for both the strategic question and the execution detail
Works across every channel the platform runs: blog, social, newsletter, ads

How it works

1

Recon picks the target

Recon reads your business context, your competitors, your existing content, and your audit findings. It scores opportunities — local queries you can own, AI Overviews where you have a real angle, gaps competitors leave behind. The output is a ranked list, not a wishlist.

2

Recon writes the brief

For each opportunity worth attacking, Recon drafts a campaign brief: the angle, the audience, the proof points to use, the channel mix, and which agents are on the job. You read the brief, sharpen it, and approve.

3

The brief becomes tasks

Approved campaigns decompose into tasks automatically. A blog brief becomes a Quill task. A launch announcement becomes a Hype task. A roundup becomes a Press task. Each task carries the brief context with it — the agent does not start from a blank page.

4

You manage by exception

The task board shows what is in flight, blocked, or done. Most tasks ship without your touch. The ones that need a judgment call — a brand-sensitive headline, a contested claim — surface for review. You spend time on the calls, not the chasing.

How we compare

Why Recon beats the usual suspects

Most tools in this space solve one slice of the problem. Recon solve the outcome.

vs General project trackers

We win

Examples

Asana · ClickUp · Monday · Trello · Linear

Their gap: You bring the strategy, they hold the cards. Every task starts as an empty title — no agent attached, no brief, no winnability score.

Why we win: Tasks come pre-loaded with a brief and an owner. The strategist (Recon) and the delivery team (Quill, Hype, Press) live in the same workspace as the tasks.

vs SEO opportunity tools

We win

Examples

Ahrefs Content Explorer · Semrush Topic Research · SurferSEO Briefs

Their gap: Brilliant at telling you what could rank. Silent on what to do next. Briefs export as PDFs that die in a Drive folder.

Why we win: The brief is not an export. It is a campaign that becomes tasks that the platform delivers against. Strategy ends in shipped work, not in another document.

vs Marketing-ops platforms

We win

Examples

HubSpot Marketing Hub · CoSchedule · Welcome

Their gap: Heavyweight calendars built for marketing teams of five. The ICP is "you have a strategist, a writer, a designer, a paid-media person — coordinate them." Solo operators end up paying for chairs they do not have.

Why we win: No team coordination overhead because the team is agents, not humans. Recon plans, Quill writes, Hype amplifies, Press publishes. You approve.

vs A spreadsheet + a content calendar

We win

Examples

A Google Sheet of post ideas · A shared Notion calendar

Their gap: The list of ideas is not the same thing as a strategy, and the calendar is not the same thing as delivery. Two artefacts that go stale at different rates.

Why we win: One workspace where the idea, the brief, the task, and the published artefact all share a row. Nothing goes stale because everything moves together.
