Give your campaign a clear direction
- Goal: the business result and acquisition cost your economics can support.
- Objective and event: the signal you can actually measure.
- Offer: who gets what, at what price, and what they do next.
- Audience: the people you serve, including practical geographic limits.
- Creative: one offer with three different opening ideas.
- Budget: daily budget, duration and the amount you can afford to learn with.
- Review rules: what success means and when to stop or change the test.
- Pre-flight: measurement, destination, permissions and the other launch checks.
- Structure: a focused campaign plan with launch and review dates.
Make assumptions visible
The worksheet includes budget arithmetic and example planning rules. Use your margins, expected conversion rates and the chosen platform’s current requirements to check them. An affordable customer acquisition cost is different from an affordable click or install.
Pair it with The Hook Sheet to develop the creative, or use the full workbook with a team.

Choose the objective
Three adapted classroom puzzles. Choose what to optimise for now, then name what that result still cannot prove.
Fictional workshop scenario Adapted classroom exercise. All names, businesses and figures are fictional; amounts are planning examples, not forecasts.
Introduce a new offer
An adapted fictional awareness exercise
Before asking for a booking, I want to test whether the story earns attention.
- Available signal
- The platform reports video views and reach.
- Learning goal
- Compare attention to three different opening ideas.
- Not verified yet
- Bookings attributable to the ads.
-
1 / 1 Match the objective to the signal
Which objective fits this question?
-
Video views, with a defined view measure.
Strongest choice
That matches the immediate attention question. Define what counts as a view and compare the creative on the same basis. A view does not prove awareness lift or a booking.
-
Purchases, even though no purchase event is available.
Not this one
A purchase objective cannot answer this setup without the required conversion configuration. First define and verify the signal you intend to use.
-
Reach, if the real question is how many people saw it.
Defensible, not the strongest
Reach is a useful awareness measure when exposure is the goal. It answers a different question from how long people watch a hook.
Attention test
- Business question
- Does the opening earn attention?
- Objective
- Video views
- Signal
- A defined platform view measure
- Data source
- Platform reporting
- Next check
- Does attention lead to qualified interest?
Platform labels and available view measures vary. Keep the comparison consistent and treat downstream business outcomes as a separate question.

Optimise for the question you are testing, then keep the limits of that signal visible.
