5. Explanation of Variance:

• Overspend:
  (If a media channel is over budget, explain why. For example, “Instagram ads performed exceptionally well, driving more engagement than expected, so an additional $X was allocated to continue the campaign.”)
• Underspend:
  (If a media channel is under budget, explain why. For example, “TV ads had lower response rates than expected, leading to a savings of $X, which will be reallocated to digital ads.”)
• Budget Adjustments:
  (If the budget allocation needs to be adjusted during the campaign, describe how funds will be shifted. For example, “An additional $Y will be allocated to Facebook ads due to high engagement, while $Z will be moved from print ads.”)

---

6. Summary and Recommendations:

• Overall Budget Performance:
  (Provide a summary of how the total campaign budget is performing. Are there any media channels that are consistently under or over budget? Are there any lessons learned that could inform future campaign budgets?)
• Recommendations for Adjustments:
  (Offer suggestions for adjusting the budget allocation if necessary to ensure that the campaign stays on track and meets its objectives. For example, “If Instagram continues to show high engagement, consider allocating more budget to Instagram for the next month.”)
