Campaign Planning Skill

Frameworks and guidance for planning, structuring, and executing marketing campaigns.

Campaign Framework: Objective, Audience, Message, Channel, Measure

Every campaign should be built on this five-part framework:

1. Objective

Define what success looks like before planning anything else.

Awareness: increase brand or product visibility (measured by reach, impressions, share of voice)
Consideration: drive engagement and education (measured by content engagement, email signups, webinar attendance)
Conversion: generate leads or sales (measured by signups, demos, purchases, pipeline)
Retention: re-engage existing customers (measured by churn reduction, upsell, NPS)
Advocacy: turn customers into promoters (measured by referrals, reviews, UGC)

Good objectives are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound.

Example: "Generate 200 marketing qualified leads from mid-market SaaS companies in North America within 6 weeks of campaign launch."

2. Audience

Define who you are trying to reach with enough specificity to guide messaging and channel decisions.

Demographics: role/title, seniority, company size, industry
Psychographics: motivations, pain points, goals, objections
Behavioral: where they consume content, how they buy, what they have engaged with before
Buying stage: are they unaware of the problem, researching solutions, or ready to buy?

Create a brief audience profile (not a full persona) for campaign planning:

"[Role] at [company type] who is struggling with [pain point] and looking for [desired outcome]. They typically discover solutions through [channels] and care most about [priorities]."

3. Message

Craft the core message and supporting points that will resonate with the audience.

Core message: one sentence that captures what you want the audience to think, feel, or do
Supporting messages: 3-4 points that provide evidence, address objections, or elaborate on benefits
Proof points: data, case studies, testimonials, or third-party validation for each supporting message
Differentiation: what makes your offering different from alternatives (including doing nothing)

Message hierarchy:

Why should I care? (addresses the pain point or opportunity)
What is the solution? (positions your offering)
Why you? (differentiates from alternatives)
What should I do? (call to action)

4. Channel

Select channels based on where your audience is, not where you are most comfortable.

See the Channel Selection Guide below for detailed guidance.

5. Measure

Define how you will know the campaign worked. See Success Metrics by Campaign Type below.

Channel Selection Criteria

When choosing channels, consider:

Where does your target audience spend time?
What is the buying stage you are targeting? (awareness channels vs. conversion channels)
What is your budget? (paid channels require spend; owned/earned require time)
What content assets do you already have or can you produce?
What has worked in the past? (reference historical data if available)

Content Calendar Creation

Calendar Structure

A content calendar should answer: what, where, when, who, and why for every piece of content.

Date	Content Piece	Channel	Audience Segment	Campaign/Theme	Owner	Status

Calendar Planning Process

Start with milestones: campaign launch, event dates, product releases, seasonal moments
Work backward: what needs to be live and when? What is the production lead time?
Map content to funnel stages: ensure coverage across awareness, consideration, and conversion
Batch by theme: group related content pieces into weekly or bi-weekly themes
Balance channels: do not over-index on one channel; ensure the audience sees the campaign across touchpoints
Build in flexibility: leave 20% of calendar slots open for reactive or opportunistic content

Content Cadence Guidelines

Blog: 1-4 posts per week depending on team size and goals
Email newsletter: weekly or bi-weekly for most audiences
Social media: 3-7 posts per week per platform (varies by platform)
Paid campaigns: continuous during campaign window with creative refreshes every 2-4 weeks
Webinars: monthly or quarterly depending on resources

Production Timeline Benchmarks

Blog post: 3-5 business days (research, draft, review, publish)
Email campaign: 2-3 business days (copy, design, test, send)
Social media posts: 1-2 business days (draft, design, schedule)
Landing page: 5-7 business days (copy, design, development, QA)
Video content: 2-4 weeks (script, production, editing)
Ebook/whitepaper: 2-4 weeks (outline, draft, design, review)

Budget Allocation Approaches

Percentage of Revenue Method

Industry benchmark: 5-15% of revenue for marketing, with B2B typically at 5-10% and B2C at 10-15%
Startups and growth-stage companies often invest 15-25% of revenue in marketing
Within the marketing budget, allocate across brand (long-term) and performance (short-term)

Channel Allocation Framework

A common starting framework (adjust based on goals and historical data):

Category	Percentage of Budget	Examples
Paid acquisition	30-40%	Search ads, social ads, display
Content production	20-30%	Blog, video, design, ebooks
Events and sponsorships	10-20%	Conferences, webinars, meetups
Tools and technology	10-15%	Analytics, automation, CRM
Testing and experimentation	5-10%	New channels, A/B tests, pilots

Budget Optimization Principles

Start with your highest-confidence channel and allocate 60-70% of paid budget there
Reserve 15-20% for testing new channels or tactics
Shift budget monthly based on performance data (do not set and forget)
Account for production costs, not just media spend
Include a 10-15% contingency for unexpected opportunities or overruns
