Frequently Asked Questions

What metrics should a marketing campaign report include?

At minimum: total leads generated, cost per lead, conversion rates by channel, pipeline generated, and ROI. For content marketing, add engagement metrics like pageviews, time on page, and download counts. This template includes all of these plus budget tracking and recommendations.

How do I present a campaign that underperformed?

Be transparent about what missed the target, but focus on why and what you learned. Executives respect honest analysis more than spin. Use the Learnings and Recommendations slides to show you understand what to change. A failed experiment with clear insights is more valuable than vague success claims.

How often should I report on marketing campaigns?

For multi-month campaigns, do a full report at the end of the campaign and brief weekly or bi-weekly updates during it. For ongoing programs (like demand gen), monthly or quarterly reports work best. This template is designed for end-of-campaign or quarterly reporting.
