**JSON Template Option:**
```
Format as JSON:
{
"campaign_overview": {
"name": "Q1 Product Launch",
"objective": "drive 500 qualified leads",
"budget": "$10,000",
"duration": "4 weeks"
},
"channel_allocation": {
"google_ads": {
"budget": "$4,000 (40%)",
"focus": "search campaigns for high-intent keywords",
"timeline": "launch day 1, optimize weekly"
},
"facebook_ads": {
"budget": "$3,000 (30%)",
"focus": "awareness and retargeting campaigns",
"timeline": "launch day 1, A/B test creatives"
}
},
"coordination_timeline": [
{
"phase": "pre-launch",
"timeline": "2 weeks before",
"tasks": ["finalize creatives", "set up tracking", "test campaigns"]
}
],
"success_metrics": {
"primary": "cost per qualified lead under $20",
"secondary": "10% increase in brand awareness"
}
}
```
**What this approach can't do:**
- Won't automatically execute campaigns across platforms
- No real-time budget monitoring and optimization
- Can't automatically adjust campaigns based on performance
- Limited to planning rather than execution automation
**When to upgrade to full automation:**
- You're running multiple campaigns simultaneously
- You need real-time budget optimization and reallocation
- You want automatic performance monitoring and adjustments
- You have complex cross-channel attribution requirements

Begin coordinating between your two highest-performing channels before expanding to full multi-channel orchestration.
### Use Your Current Platforms
Connect automations to whatever marketing platforms you already use rather than switching tools for automation.
### Define Clear Objectives
Establish specific campaign objectives and KPIs that work across all channels before implementing coordination.
### Test with Small Budget
Start with smaller campaigns to test coordination workflows before scaling to larger budget allocations.
