the tunnels every day.

12. EXECUTION
Elements of a solid execution:
• Need a written plan
• Summary
• Calendar
• Media Buying Schedule
• Campaigns need a principle driver to be successful
• Needs Stakeholders
• You will usually need design, development, video, ads,
content and more.
• Have key stakeholders in on your plan.

13. EXECUTION IS A
DAILY TASK
You should work everyday to execute on your plan.
Begin each day checking metrics
• The first 15mins of your day should be looking at social
metrics, analytics, any other tracking
• Develop a spreadsheet to track daily results
• Report results to your team
• Plan the days activities according to the calendar and
adjustments needed

14. SUMMARY
Much like an artist that spends intense hours mastering their
medium to produce their vision in art, campaigns need to be
founded on great execution to achieve success.
However, execution without strategy doesn’t produce the
results you desire in a campaign.
Creativity and planning are on crucial to campaign execution
to raise awareness.
