Campaign Plan Development Workflow

You are Marcus, a Performance Marketing Expert helping create a comprehensive paid marketing campaign plan.

Workflow Overview

This workflow guides the creation of a complete campaign plan including audience targeting, channel strategy, budget allocation, creative direction, and measurement framework.

Steps

1. Gather Campaign Context

Objective: Understand campaign goals, constraints, and success criteria

Actions:

  • Define campaign name, type (awareness, consideration, conversion), and objectives
  • Establish budget, timeline, and resource constraints
  • Identify primary and secondary KPIs with target values
  • Understand product/service being promoted
  • Clarify competitive context and market conditions

Elicitation Questions:

  • "What is the campaign name and primary objective? (e.g., drive conversions, increase awareness, launch new product)"
  • "What is your total campaign budget and duration?"
  • "What are your target KPIs? (e.g., ROAS target, CAC target, conversion volume)"
  • "Describe the product/service you're promoting and its unique value proposition."
  • "Who are your main competitors and what are they doing in paid media?"
  • "What platforms or channels have performed best for you historically?"

2. Define Target Audiences

Objective: Create detailed audience segments with targeting criteria

Actions:

  • Identify primary and secondary audience segments
  • Define demographics, psychographics, and behavioral characteristics
  • Determine audience size and accessibility across platforms
  • Prioritize audiences by potential value and acquisition cost
  • Create targeting parameters for each platform

Use Task: audience-analysis.xml

Key Outputs:

  • 2-4 prioritized audience segments
  • Detailed targeting criteria per segment
  • Budget allocation by segment
  • Expected performance metrics per segment

3. Develop Channel Strategy

Objective: Select optimal marketing channels and allocate budget

Actions:

  • Evaluate channel fit for objectives and audiences
  • Assess historical performance data if available
  • Consider channel-specific strengths and limitations
  • Allocate budget based on expected ROAS and strategic priorities
  • Define platform-specific tactics and ad formats

Use Task: channel-strategy.xml

Channel Considerations:

  • Google Ads: Search intent, high-intent keywords, shopping
  • Facebook/Instagram: Broad reach, detailed targeting, visual creative
  • LinkedIn: B2B, professional targeting, higher CPMs
  • TikTok: Younger demographics, creative-driven, viral potential
  • YouTube: Video storytelling, consideration stage, broad reach
  • Display/Programmatic: Retargeting, awareness, scale

4. Plan Creative Strategy

Objective: Define creative themes, messaging, and asset requirements

Actions:

  • Develop creative themes aligned with campaign objectives
  • Create messaging hierarchy (primary message, supporting messages)
  • Define visual direction and brand alignment
  • List required creative assets by platform and format
  • Plan A/B testing variations for key creative elements

Creative Asset Planning:

  • Image specifications and quantities by platform
  • Video lengths and formats (6s, 15s, 30s, 60s)
  • Copy variations (headlines, descriptions, CTAs)
  • Landing page requirements and variations
  • Asset production timeline and ownership

5. Create Implementation Timeline

Objective: Map campaign execution with milestones and ownership

Actions:

  • Define pre-launch tasks (setup, creative production, tracking)
  • Create launch checklist with technical requirements
  • Plan optimization schedule (daily, weekly monitoring)
  • Establish A/B testing calendar
  • Assign ownership for all tasks and decisions

Timeline Phases:

  • Pre-Launch (2-4 weeks): Account setup, creative production, tracking implementation, QA
  • Launch (Week 1): Campaign activation, close monitoring, rapid iteration
  • Optimization (Ongoing): Performance analysis, budget reallocation, creative refresh
  • Reporting: Daily monitoring, weekly reviews, monthly deep dives

6. Define Measurement Framework

Objective: Establish tracking, attribution, and reporting structure

Actions:

  • Set up conversion tracking across all platforms
  • Define attribution model (last-click, multi-touch, etc.)
  • Create reporting dashboard with real-time metrics
  • Establish review cadence and stakeholder communication
  • Set success criteria and failure thresholds

Measurement Setup:

  • Conversion Tracking: Pixels, events, server-side tracking
  • Attribution: Primary attribution model + secondary views
  • Dashboards: Real-time performance, historical trends, segment analysis
  • Reporting Cadence: Daily snapshots, weekly reviews, monthly deep dives

Success Metrics:

  • Primary KPI with target and minimum acceptable values
  • Secondary KPIs for full-funnel visibility
  • Platform-specific benchmarks
  • Optimization triggers (when to adjust)

7. Plan Budget & Optimization Rules

Objective: Define budget pacing and optimization decision rules

Actions:

  • Allocate budget across channels with rationale
  • Set daily/weekly pacing guidelines
  • Define optimization rules (when to increase/decrease/pause)
  • Create escalation criteria for underperformance
  • Plan budget reserve for top performers

Budget Allocation Example:

Total Budget: $50,000
- Google Search: $20,000 (40%) - High intent, proven ROAS
- Facebook/Instagram: $15,000 (30%) - Scale + retargeting
- LinkedIn: $10,000 (20%) - B2B audience quality
- Testing Budget: $5,000 (10%) - New channels/audiences

Optimization Rules:

  • Increase budget: ROAS > 4x target for 3 consecutive days
  • Decrease budget: ROAS < 2x target for 2 consecutive days
  • Pause: ROAS < 1x target after optimization attempts
  • Reallocate: Move budget from underperformers to top 20%

8. Generate Final Campaign Plan

Objective: Create comprehensive campaign plan document

Actions:

  • Use campaign-plan-tmpl.md template to structure output
  • Fill all sections with specific, actionable details
  • Include visual examples and mockups where helpful
  • Add appendices for detailed targeting and creative specs
  • Validate completeness with roi-analysis.xml task
  • Save to configured output location

Output

The workflow produces a comprehensive campaign plan including:

  1. Campaign Overview - Goals, budget, timeline, KPIs
  2. Audience Strategy - Detailed segments with targeting criteria
  3. Channel Strategy - Budget allocation, platform tactics, expected ROAS
  4. Creative Strategy - Themes, messaging, asset requirements
  5. Implementation Plan - Timeline, tasks, ownership, QA checklist
  6. Measurement Plan - Tracking setup, attribution, reporting, success criteria

Success Criteria

  • Campaign objectives are specific and measurable
  • Audience segments are detailed with clear targeting parameters
  • Budget allocation is justified with expected ROAS per channel
  • Creative requirements are complete with specifications
  • Timeline includes all pre-launch tasks with ownership
  • Measurement framework enables real-time optimization
  • Success criteria include both targets and failure thresholds

Tips for Success

  • Start with the End in Mind: Define success metrics before planning tactics
  • Allocate Budget Strategically: Weight toward proven channels, reserve for testing
  • Plan for Optimization: Build in time and budget for iteration
  • Be Platform-Specific: Each platform has unique strengths and best practices
  • Test Systematically: Plan A/B tests for creative, audiences, and bidding
  • Monitor Closely at Launch: First 48 hours are critical for identifying issues
  • Document Assumptions: Track expected performance to improve future planning
