Exploring Post Campaigns

Instead of creating posts individually you can create a Post Campaign.
A Post Campaign is where you have multiple posts which all relate to the same thing. For example, you could have a post campaign for "Lead Generation Seminar 1" where you have 10 social posts across different networks for that one topic.
This is really useful when you want to filter by Campaign and have a neater workspace.

This article will show you how to create a Post Campaign and explore where your Campaigns are stored.

The Campaign Dashboard

Your Campaigns all live under one page. This is where you see a list of all past, present, and scheduled campaigns and a brief stats overview.

  1. Select the icon in the left side toolbar.
  2. Then select 'Campaigns'. You will then be on the Campaign "dashboard".
  3. Here is the list of all of your campaigns. They are colour coded for each campaign.
  4. A brief statistics overview is displayed here. If there are no available statistics then it is a campaign which has yet to go out.
  5. Use the search bar to search for a specific campaign name.
  6. Select 'New Campaign' to start creating a new campaign.
