Generate UTM Parameters

Source: where traffic originates (google, facebook, newsletter)
Medium: how it arrives (cpc, email, social, organic)
Campaign: initiative name (spring-sale-2025, product-launch)

Format: lowercase, hyphens, no spaces
Input: "Spring Sale 2025" → Output: "spring-sale-2025"
Input: "Q1 Launch Campaign" → Output: "q1-launch-campaign"

Example: ?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=q1-launch

Create Email Sequence

1. Welcome (immediate): Set expectations, deliver promised value
2. Value (day 2-3): Best content or quick win
3. Engagement (day 5-7): Encourage reply or action
4. Offer (day 10): Clear CTA with incentive

Plan Content Calendar

Essential fields: Title, Target keyword, Funnel stage (TOFU/MOFU/BOFU), Format, Owner, Publish date, Distribution channels.

Check Campaign Performance

Primary metrics by channel:

Campaign Validation Checklist

Before launching any campaign, verify:

Strategy

• Target audience clearly defined
• Campaign goals documented with baseline metrics
• Success criteria established (KPIs + targets)
• Timeline and milestones set

Tracking

• UTM parameters validated (lowercase, hyphens, no spaces)
• GA4 channel alignment confirmed
• Conversion tracking tested
• Attribution model selected

Content

• Brand voice checklist completed
• No banned words or unsubstantiated claims
• Readability score acceptable (60+ Flesch)
• CTA clear and actionable

Technical

• Email sequences tested in preview
• Links verified working
• Mobile responsiveness checked
• Analytics tracking confirmed

Persona Adaptation

Beginner signals: Asks "what is," "how do I," "why should I," unfamiliar terminology, requests explanations. → Provide concept context before tactics. Explain frameworks. Offer templates.

Experienced signals: Uses correct terminology, asks for benchmarks, requests templates, mentions specific tools. → Skip fundamentals. Provide benchmarks, templates, advanced tactics directly.
