How do you keep your campaign assets organized?
Marketing campaigns are organized, strategized efforts to promote a specific company goal, such as raising awareness of a new product or capturing customer feedback. They typically aim to reach consumers in a variety of ways and involve a combination of media, including but not limited to email, print advertising, television or radio advertising, pay-per-click, and social media.
But with so many moving pieces, it can be difficult to stay organized and ensure every piece of content feels cohesive with the rest. What is your advice to marketers creating their first campaign? What are your tips to stay organized and ensure you’re on track to hitting your campaign goals?
To be very organized, set up your goals and keep track of each of the tasks, which ones are done, which ones are missing. Reporting on the results and if any result is not as desired, add/change tasks.
I have recently created a Google Form that I will fill out each time a new Campaign is requested from the executive team. This form will help me organize the information I need for the Campaign. I have also created a Google Form as a checklist before I send and email or activate a Workflow. This helps me make sure I have all the correct information before sending.
I think having a clear division of labor is crucial to insuring a campaign's success. If your team doesn't have a clear sense of everyone's role and who's responsible for what, it's very easy for things to slip through the cracks and projects to get delayed.
Continual auditing and working on it with a peer. Auditing frequently will keep you on track to your goals and tell you when changes are needed. Refering back to a coworker will help point out if your content is becoming disorganized or leaving the core topic behind.
Setting your strategy, goals, target geographics and demographics upfront before jumping to tactics. We then organize our campaign tactics and calendar within Planner to assign tasks and add updates.
The campaigns should be organized by a specific name, which is used throughout all the platforms. Via this way, everyone within the company understand which campaign is connected to, for example, which landing pages. Furthermore, the results of the campaigns should be analyzed weekly to see if you are still on track of reaching the goals.
We're still new to HubSpot and haven't started implementing campaigns. I feel like smaller monthly campaign goals along with one bigger quarterly goal could work well.
