“Drive awareness”, “generate leads”, and “increase consideration” are campaign goals. They aren’t measurement plans.
A proper measurement plan defines the outcome you are aiming for, the metrics that will show progress, the data you need to collect, and the decisions those numbers should inform.
Without one, teams often track whatever is easiest to find: impressions, clicks, engagement, or leads. The report might look thorough, but it does not answer the important questions: Is the campaign working? What is getting in the way? Should we keep investing, change the message, or move budget elsewhere?
The goal is not to collect more data. It is to agree on the few signals that tell you what to do next.

2. Tracking plan
- What needs to be tracked in each channel
- Where the data should come from
- Any tags, events, benchmarks, or setup needed before launch
3. Review and decision plan
- What to review during the campaign and when
- The decision each metric should inform
- What action to take if performance is above, below, or in line with expectations
Flag missing information and assumptions that need to be resolved before launch.
Happy prompting!
