How it works in a campaign
Define the business objective, separate awareness and performance KPIs, use tracking links or codes where relevant, and complement platform metrics with business context.
A strong campaign page or glossary entry should clarify:
- the campaign objective: awareness, consideration, traffic, conversion, content production or trust;
- the creator selection logic;
- the contractual or operational constraints;
- the KPIs that should be used to judge success;
- the risks or limits brands should understand before launch.
