Who it’s for & Outcomes

  • One measurable objective
  • A deliverable list with owners
  • Approved copy, media, and links

Blocks

Campaign decision

Name: [campaign]
Objective: [signup, qualified enquiry, purchase, or attendance]
Audience: [specific group]
Offer: [what they receive]
Primary destination: [tested URL]

Deliverables

For each item record: channel, format, key message, media owner, copy owner, reviewer, due date, and publishing date. Include separate versions when formats differ.

Review and timing

Confirm timezone, required approvals, product facts, permission to use media, and offer expiry. Leave time to correct failed uploads or missing account access.

Measurement

Record campaign tags, baseline, reporting period, and the system that confirms the final outcome. Compare clicks with completed actions rather than treating them as equivalent.
