Overview

Campaigns lose their first weeks to different ideas of the goal, the budget and who approves what. This ten-slide kickoff deck gives the team one script: the brief, scope boundaries, audience, message, creative direction, channel budget, dates and decision gates, with first-week owners and contacts.

The sample kicks off a fictional 12-week spring planting campaign for Havenbrook Group with a £120,000 budget and a goal of 18,000 extra store visits. Replace the campaign name, goal, budget split, audience, dates and owners with your own, and agree the first-week actions in the room.

Useful for

  • Opening a 45 to 90 minute kickoff meeting with the marketing team, agency and sponsor
  • Agreeing scope boundaries and decision gates before creative work starts
  • Giving freelancers and agency partners the goal, budget split, dates and contacts in one place

What's included

  • Cover and brief cards covering goal, budget, timing and owner
  • Scope slide with in-scope, out-of-scope and first-week actions
  • Audience slide and a message slide with promise, proof and call to action
  • Creative direction timeline from concepts to the mid-point refresh
  • Channel budget cards that add up to the total
  • Swimlane dates slide, make-it-yours guide and a closing contacts slide

Questions

How long should a campaign kickoff meeting be?

Between 45 and 90 minutes for 6 to 15 people. Use the slides to build shared understanding rather than reading them aloud, and leave time to agree first-week owners.

Are the company, campaign, people and figures real?

No. Havenbrook Group, the spring planting campaign, its people and every figure are fictional sample content. Replace all of it with your own campaign facts.

What should a kickoff deck cover?

Cover why the campaign matters, scope in and out, audience, message, creative direction, channels and budget, dates and decision gates, risks, and who does what in the first week.
