Outline of Initiative
In this section, you should answer the high-level questions an employee at your company might
have about your campaign, like who you’re targeting, why you’re running this campaign, and
what medium you’ll be advertising on.
Description of Campaign: Provide a 1-3 paragraph description of the inspiration behind your
campaign, answering the following questions:
Target Audience: Identify whom you’re targeting. This could be a description of the audience
you’re targeting (i.e. “Entry-level salespeople in B2B tech companies”) or one of your buyer
personas like “Owner Ollie” or “Manager Mary." Never made a buyer persona before? Use this tool
to get started.
Advertising Platforms: Which platforms will you be utilizing in your advertisements? Don’t get
too into timeline or budget just yet – you’ll cover that in later sections. Not sure which platform to
use? Check out the ebook included in this kit for the pros, cons, budget, and ROI of the most
common advertising platforms.
Goals: At the end of this campaign, what is your expected goal? Quantify your expectations
clearly, such as “300 new customers” or “20% better brand recognition in next quarter’s surveys.”
Advertising Platform(s)
Where will you be advertising your message? Will the content on each platform be the same, or
different? For example, your Google ads would be text-based, but your Facebook ads might be
video, text, or both. If desired, you can also outline your budget, timeline, and goals for each
platform.
