When developing your advertising strategy, be sure to keep in mind how you’ll be reporting and monitoring your ads over time. Creating a naming structure for your ad campaigns can be incredibly valuable to keep organized.

Having a naming structure helps you organize campaigns, and makes it easier to find, search and repeat or update campaigns in the future.

We recommend using some of the following attributes in your naming structure:

• Business line/product
• Reference to the marketing campaign title
• Campaign type (i.e. Webinar, whitepaper etc.)
• Targeting criteria: geo/region Industry/function if the campaign is vertical specific
• A unique campaign ID that matches with other channels
• A date range for the campaign timeframe

A standardized naming structure also helps your fellow teammates in other regions or departments identify useful campaigns cross-company.

The LinkedIn Campaign Manager tool supports a maximum of 50 characters, so plan accordingly!
