4. Timeframes and Milestones:
a. Campaign Timeline
- Action: Establish a timeline with specific milestones to track the progress of the campaign. This includes pre-launch, mid-point, and post-campaign evaluation stages.
- Recommendation: The timeline should outline key deliverables and checkpoints, such as:
- Pre-launch preparation (creative approvals, ad copy finalization)
- Launch date and initial monitoring of performance.
- Mid-campaign review to adjust targeting and creative elements based on performance data.
- End-of-campaign review to analyze KPIs and calculate ROI.
5. Campaign Review and Optimization:
a. Regular Monitoring and Adjustments
- Action: Set up a monitoring system to track KPIs and assess whether the campaign is on track to meet its objectives.

- Were the KPIs met or exceeded?
- How can future campaigns be optimized based on insights gathered?
