Planning your Digital campaign

01

Formats and campaign fit

Compare paid search, display, online video and social placements against the action you want people to take. Choose the platform and format around the audience and response journey, not simply because an account exists there. Organic posting and paid advertising are different scopes.

02

What affects the cost?

Platform spend may be priced through auctions or agreed inventory arrangements. Audience, competition, objective, creative and buying method can affect delivery. Confirm the media allowance, management work, creative production, tracking setup and tax treatment separately.

03

Lead times and booking deadlines

Allow for account access, creative approval, platform review and landing-page preparation before launch. A submitted advert is not guaranteed to go live immediately. Agree the campaign dates, review points and authority for any budget or targeting changes.

04

Production and approvals

Prepare assets for the actual placements and screen sizes. Check the destination page, forms, contact details and offer before spending. Use tracking only with the appropriate privacy notices and permissions; an enquiry should not automatically become marketing consent.

05

Measurement and proof of delivery

Agree the objective and definitions before launch: impressions, clicks, completed forms and sales are different outcomes. Platform attribution depends on its settings and measurement window. Compare reports with your own enquiry or sales records where lawful and available, and identify gaps such as untracked offline conversions.

Compare campaign budget options, follow the campaign process or explore other media channels.

Digital advertising questions

Does a digital campaign guarantee leads?

No. Delivery and response depend on the offer, audience, creative, competition and destination experience. Agree objectives and reporting without treating estimates as guarantees.

Who owns the advertising account?

Account ownership, access and billing responsibilities should be agreed before launch. Do not share passwords where authorised platform access can be used.

Can the budget change during the campaign?

Only within the authority agreed for the campaign. Material increases or scope changes require approval.
