AD PERFORMANCE AND SPEND REVIEW · Workflow idea

See what a campaign delivered before deciding what to do next.

Bring campaign results for a chosen period into a readable performance summary, including useful measures of reach, response, outcomes, and spend.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps campaign owners and clients understand performance over a defined period and identify questions for a follow-up review.

  1. Choose accounts and reporting dates

    Confirm the campaigns, account scope, and exact period the report should cover.

  2. Organize performance and spend measures

    Bring useful outcomes, engagement, and cost figures together with their definitions and dates.

  3. Prepare a readable campaign summary

    Highlight notable results and questions without overstating what the figures demonstrate.

  4. Verify totals and interpretations

    Have an authorized marketing or finance reviewer compare the figures and calculations with the approved records.

  5. Approve recipients and follow-up decisions

Keep in mind

Performance and spend figures can be delayed, incomplete, or interpreted incorrectly, and campaign reports may contain confidential financial information. Check the reporting period, account scope, calculations, and source totals with an authorized marketing or finance owner; require approval of the exact report and recipients before sending, and never change budgets or campaigns based solely on an unreviewed summary.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define account scope and reporting periods

Identify the campaigns, time windows, and people authorized to receive each report.

Agree on metric definitions

Document how key performance and cost measures are calculated so readers can interpret them consistently.

Protect financial and campaign details

Restrict access to account results and spend information to people with an approved business need.

Assign finance, marketing, and delivery approvers

Name who verifies figures, who interprets performance, and who approves the final report and its recipients.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
