Targeting
Defines polygons, ZIP lists, radius values, and exclusions with clear coordinate formats and platform limits to avoid mismatched delivery areas.
A consistent template reduces errors, preserves targeting intent across platforms, and documents consent and privacy controls required by state and federal rules.
Maintaining clear ownership across these roles speeds approvals, reduces rework, and helps demonstrate compliance during audits.
As the campaign owner, the Marketing Director signs to confirm targeting strategy, budget allocation, and business objectives. Their approval indicates commercial authorization to deploy to paid channels and to expose target audiences to programmatic delivery.
The Chief Privacy Officer or designated privacy lead signs or countersigns to confirm that consent, data handling, and vendor processing terms meet organizational obligations under applicable privacy laws and internal policies.
