      Campaign Process

      The top-level process to complete when creating campaigns.

      Best practice and processes for creating campaigns in HubSpot.

      An inbound campaign is a concentrated effort that aligns all of your marketing channels around a single offer and goal. You can associate a campaign with the following: landing pages, calls-to-action, emails, blog posts (COS only), social messages, keywords, pay-per-click visits, traffic from other sources, and workflows.

      Campaigns are important because they help entice and attract prospects to your offer, and they can help you find the offers most effective at generating traffic, leads, or ultimately customers. Creating a campaign in HubSpot allows you to easily organize and align your marketing channels, making it easier to measure your results. You can run a campaign for a variety of reasons. Some examples include: you're launching a new product, you want to establish expertise on a specific subject, or you're trying to change public opinion on something.

      Campaign rules

      • Before creating anything in HubSpot a campaign MUST exist.
      • Descriptions, budgets, start and end dates MUST be included with each campaign.
      • Every workflow, email, blog post, external link, ad, social post, etc, MUST be associated with a campaign.
