The Campaign Setup step is where you give your campaign a name, describe what it's about, and set the dates it runs. This is the first thing you fill in when creating or editing a campaign.

Fields Reference

Campaign Name

A short, descriptive label for this campaign. It appears in the campaigns list, in analytics, and when scheduling posts.

Example: "Eid Al-Adha Sale 2025" or "Q3 Brand Awareness — Instagram"

Keep it specific enough that you can tell campaigns apart at a glance.


Campaign Description

A brief summary of the campaign's purpose. The AI will use this as additional context when generating goals, key messages, hashtags, and post copy later in the workflow.

Tip: Use the ✨ Enhance button to the right of the description field to let the AI expand and improve what you've written.

Tips

  • Choose a campaign name that includes the time period or occasion — it makes filtering campaigns much easier later.
  • If you're running an evergreen campaign, use a Quarter or Half Year preset to avoid setting manual dates each time.
  • The description field directly influences the quality of AI-generated goals and messages — don't leave it blank.
