Instead of treating all campaigns the same, you assign each a role – Prospecting, Retargeting, Testing, Loyalty – and build rule logic that supports its objective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this guide, we’ll walk through how to implement campaign role automation, provide plug-and-play rule templates, and troubleshoot common issues that performance marketers face when

campaign and applying automation rules that match its purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\n\u003Cp>A Prospecting campaign is meant to find new customers –

protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\n\u003Cp>A Creative Testing campaign needs cost control and engagement-based rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\n\u003Cp>A Loyalty
