Kerry gets the conversation off to a start by asking Jon and Claire to lay down the foundations and explain what a campaign actually is. While they agree that many people, especially marketeers, will provide their own variation of a definition, it’s ultimately a focussed and strategic effort to achieve a designated goal, which sits separately to business as usual activities.

Kerry, Claire and Jon then go on to discuss the benefits of campaign thinking specifically related to digital marketing. They also explore the specific steps which are integral to making a campaign a success, including a solid discovery stage, an understanding of your target audience, competitor research and, of course, budget. 

Their conversation unearths some of the many benefits that campaign thinking delivers, especially when applied through Hubspot. Not least is its ability to provide reliable data and insights, allowing the business to develop a clearer understanding of ROI.
