5.1 Description

The Strategic Brief is the starting point to define your campaign purpose and media mix strategy. A campaign contains different channel mixes for specific periods, for example, months, for which is also possible to create a specific media mix strategy.

Apart from defining the media mix strategy for campaigns and channel mixes, you can also add and manage KPIs for both to define goals for your general and specific strategies.

At the same time, you are now able to differentiate between online, offline or both types of advertisement to be used in a campaign. Depending on this selection, other areas of the platform will only provide information dedicated to each type of advertising. For example, if the campaign is classified as offline, only offline channels will be proposed in the Strategic Brief module and the corresponding platforms in the Planning module following the offline concept.

The module is split into the following sections: Campaign Creation and Description, Channel Mix Details, then Channel Mix Timeline.
