If you’ve ever started the year with great content ideas but lost momentum by March, you’re not alone. Planning and staying consistent is one of the hardest parts of content marketing, especially when you’re juggling multiple platforms, clients, or campaigns.
That’s why we created the Netsleek 2026 UK Content Planner. A free, fully editable Excel workbook designed to help marketers, small businesses, and creators map their entire content year in one beautiful, structured place.
Why Every UK Business Needs a 2026 Content Planner
The digital landscape in the UK moves fast. From early spring campaigns to Christmas rushes, every season brings new opportunities to connect with audiences. But without a proper content calendar, great ideas often get lost between spreadsheets, sticky notes, and Slack messages.
A planner isn’t just about scheduling, it’s about strategy. It keeps your marketing aligned with UK trends, holidays, and buying behaviour, helping you stay visible and relevant when it matters most.
Whether you’re a freelance writer, social media manager, or brand team, this planner gives you structure without limiting creativity.
