ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign allows you to plan marketing campaigns in which you can create and manage different types of activities: emails, SMS messages, push notifications, workflows, landing pages. These campaigns and their contents can be gathered into programs.
The programs and campaigns allow you to regroup and view the different marketing activities that are linked to them.
- A program may contain other programs as well as campaigns, workflows, and landing pages. It appears in the timeline and help you organize your marketing activities: you can separate them by country, by brand, by unit, etc.
- A campaign enables you to gather all the marketing activities of your choice under a single entity. A campaign may contain emails, SMS, push notifications, direct mails, workflows, and landing pages.
To better organize your marketing plans, ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ recommends the following hierarchy: Program > Sub-programs > Campaigns > Workflows > Deliveries.
Reports on programs and campaigns allow you to analyze their impact. For example, you can build reports at the campaign level to aggregate data on all deliveries contained in that campaign.
