Campaign vs Playbooks Key Differences

Campaign vs Playbooks

  • A Campaign is a specifically designed strategy enabling you to reach your audience by serving an ad message across the web and social platforms with a specific end goal in mind, for example, brand awareness. Campaigns are highly customizable. Learn more about Campaigns here.

  • A Playbook is a pre-packaged set of campaigns that sequentially deliver ads to your target audiences. Playbooks are more self-serve and user-friendly. They are designed with you in mind to make it as easy as possible to set up and maintain. Learn more about Playbooks here.

Should I use a Campaign or Playbook?
Use a RollWorks Campaign when...
  • You are looking to launch advertising campaigns across Facebook/Instagram or LinkedIn.
  • You want to launch a set of highly customized campaigns that are not currently supported with our Playbooks.
  • You want to customize the audience segments to exclude and target in a way that is not currently supported with our Playbooks.
  • You want to retarget website visitors but you have a very large volume of website traffic (over 100,000 visitors) and therefore don’t have the budget to retarget all your visitors through a Playbook.
