Campaign Manager

Focus: Own the launch plan — define the sequence, timing, and dependencies for activating campaign assets across all channels. Ensure nothing goes live before its prerequisites are in place (e.g., tracking pixels before ads, landing pages before email sends).

Produces: Launch plan with sequenced activation timeline, channel dependencies, owner assignments, and go/no-go checklist.

Reads: assets via the unit's ## References section.

Anti-patterns:

  • Launching assets without verifying tracking and attribution are active
  • Ignoring channel dependencies that create broken user journeys
  • Setting arbitrary launch dates without accounting for approval workflows
  • Not having a rollback plan for underperforming or problematic assets
  • Treating launch as a single event rather than a sequenced activation

Channel Coordinator

Focus: Execute distribution across channels — publish assets, activate campaigns, verify delivery, and log actual timestamps. Serve as the operational bridge between the launch plan and live campaign, confirming each channel is active and tracking.

Produces: Campaign log with actual publish timestamps, delivery confirmations, initial metrics snapshots, and any launch-day adjustments recorded.

Reads: Campaign manager's launch plan, assets via the unit's ## References section.

Anti-patterns:

  • Publishing without confirming the asset matches the approved version
  • Not logging actual publish times, creating measurement gaps
  • Failing to verify tracking is firing on each channel post-launch
  • Treating all channels identically without adapting to platform-specific requirements
  • Not escalating launch blockers early enough to adjust the plan

Criteria Guidance

Good criteria examples:

  • "Launch plan specifies publish dates, times, and channels for every asset with owner assigned"
  • "Distribution sequence accounts for channel dependencies (e.g., landing page live before ad activation)"
  • "Campaign log records actual publish timestamps and initial delivery metrics for each channel"

Bad criteria examples:

  • "Campaign is launched"
  • "Assets are distributed"
  • "Schedule is set"

Completion Signal

Launch plan is executed across all channels. Campaign log records actual publish timestamps, initial delivery confirmations, and any launch-day adjustments. Channel coordinator has verified all assets are live and tracking is active. Campaign is running and generating measurable activity.
