Overview
Campaigns are the core execution layer of the Scope3 platform - where your advertising strategy comes to life through intelligent programmatic optimization. Every campaign exists within a Brand Agent (your advertiser account) and leverages shared resources like creatives, audiences, and brand standards.Campaign Dependency: All campaigns must be created within a Brand Agent context. You cannot create standalone campaigns - they always belong to an advertiser account.
Campaign Lifecycle
Phase 1: Planning & Setup
Before launching any campaign, ensure you have:- Brand Agent Created - Your advertiser account foundation
- Creative Assets Ready - High-quality creatives significantly impact performance
- Audience Profiles (Optional) - Brand story targeting profiles
- Brand Standards Configured (Optional) - Domain filtering and brand safety rules
Phase 2: Campaign Creation
Phase 3: Launch & Optimization
Once launched, campaigns automatically begin the AI optimization process:- Signal Discovery - Algorithm identifies high-performing audience signals
- Brand Story Optimization - AI-generated audience profiles are tested and refined
- Tactic Generation - AI creates optimized targeting combinations
- Continuous Learning - Performance data feeds back into optimization
Phase 4: Monitoring & Management
Performance Insights
Natural Language Analysis“How’s my campaign doing?” gets you instant insights with health scores, pacing status, and recommendations.
Data Export
Enterprise AnalyticsExport structured data for BI systems with flexible grouping by tactic, signal, brand story, and publisher.
ML Analytics
Advanced OptimizationDeep statistical analysis of tactic performance with actionable optimization recommendations. See Tactic Guide for detailed analysis.
🔄 Incremental Optimization Requests
Natural language optimization - Use thechangeRequest
parameter to make targeted improvements without rebuilding your entire campaign strategy.
- Performance improvements: “increase CTR by 15%”, “improve completion rates to 80%”
- Scale adjustments: “need 30% more reach”, “reduce daily spend to $2000”
- Quality changes: “prioritize viewability over cost”, “add stricter brand safety”
- Efficiency targets: “reduce CPM to $25”, “improve cost efficiency by 20%”
The
changeRequest
parameter works alongside existing parameters like prompt
, reason
, and tacticAdjustments
. When provided, it automatically generates an optimized strategy prompt that gets processed by the same backend optimization engine.Key Campaign Features

Real-time Delivery Monitoring
Get instant visibility into campaign pacing and performance:⚖️ Scoring Configuration
Control how tactics are evaluated and optimized with three-component scoring. Campaigns use a weighted formula combining Quality, Outcome, and Story Affinity scores to determine budget allocation. You configure the weights and outcome measurement timing.Optimize for conversions and outcomes
The Three Scoring Components
Quality Score (Scope3-provided)- Impression quality, viewability, completion rates
- IVT detection and brand safety metrics
- Scale: 0-100 (100 = premium media quality)
- Your normalized measurement data (ROAS, conversions, brand lift)
- Scale: 0-1000 (100 = meets target, 1000 = 10x target)
- You define what the numbers mean
- How well tactics align with your selected brand stories
- Uses the brand stories you created and assigned
- Scale: 0-100 (100 = perfect story alignment)
Weights determine relative importance of each component for budget allocation. See the Scoring Guide for detailed explanation and weight strategy examples.
Outcome Score Window Days
Critical for RL algorithm performance. Specify how many days before your outcome measurement data arrives:- Immediate data: 0-1 days (engagement, clicks)
- Attribution data: 1-7 days (conversions, CRM matching)
- Brand studies: 7-30 days (lift measurement)
- MMM data: 30+ days (incrementality studies)

Performance Optimization Best Practices
1. Creative Quality First
- High-quality creatives are the single biggest factor in campaign performance
- Use multiple creative formats (video, display, native) for broader reach
- Test different creative messages and CTAs
- Monitor creative performance across campaigns
2. Budget Sizing

- Enterprise scale: $100,000+ for advanced ML optimization
- Higher budgets enable more sophisticated targeting and learning
3. Targeting Strategy
- Start broad, let AI find optimal segments
- Use natural language descriptions in campaign prompts
- Leverage brand stories for precise targeting
- Monitor signal performance and adjust accordingly
4. Monitoring & Optimization
- Check campaign health weekly with
get_campaign_summary
- Export data for deeper analysis with
export_campaign_data
- Use tactic performance insights for optimization decisions
- Set up real-time alerts for performance issues
