Global Campaigns Managers are responsible for building integrated marketing campaigns including the strategy, execution and analytics. They work in a cross-functional manner to gain alignmnent with internal stakeholders and inter-departmental dependencies. Building a Global Campaign may consist of the following: Target Audience segementation, campaign journey, asset and content recommendations, marketing message, email nurture, recommeded marketing channels for promotion (both organic and paid), top funnel events (virtual and in-person), and Alliance partnership (Technology Partners).
Regional campaigns managers are responsible for localizing and activating global campaign bundles, prioritizing program mix and delivery channels to support regional revenue goals. They partner with paid digital, ABM, lifecycle, field marketing, product marketing, customer marketing, SDR/BDR and regional sales teams to create integrated go-to-market plans.
The goals for new first-order MQLs and SAOs are derived from workbacks of sales pipeline projections. These differ by segment and geo, and can be discussed internally.

Each team member contributes to making day-to-day processes more efficient and effective, and will work with marketing operations as well as other relevant teams (including field marketing, content marketing, and product marketing) prior to modification of processes.
In line with GitLab's overall communication guidelines, campaign managers work through MRs first and issues second (in order to preserve documentation), and our slack channel #marketing-campaigns is used for team updated and quick questions.
The #marketing_integratedmarketing channel is used for weekly check-ins and interaction with the larger integrated marketing team.
In between bi-weekly Campaigns Team Connect calls:

: Immediate action needed, aligned to OKRs, GTM motions/sales plays, or segment/region MQL generation. This category will be limited because not everything can be a priority. Timeframe: Immediate action needed.DG-Priority::High
: Not requiring immediate action, but aligned to OKRs, GTM motions/sales plays, or segment/region MQL generation. Timeframe: Within weeks.DG-Priority::Med
: Requests submitted that align to OKRs, GTM motions/sales plays, or segment/region plans. Process improvements to fix broken processes, or improve campaign team efficiency. Timeframe: Within months.DG-Priority::Low

The following issue templates are used by the Campaigns Team to organize their work, with appropriate labels applied for project management.
We ask that teams request work using the following issue templates in the campaigns project. These templates more clearly indicate what information and details are required in order for the request to be triaged.
Note on timelines: The Campaigns Team is focused on campaign strategy, execution, and optimization. Team member milestones focus on work to drive MQLs and SAOs, and requests will be committed to as bandwidth permits at discretion of Campaign Team Manager.
The following issue templates are used by the campaigns team to organize their work, with appropriate labels applied for project management.
/assign @
- issues should have only DRI based on who will complete the work in the issue. If work needs to be completed by multiple people, consider breaking into separate issues with clear deliverables and due dates. (example: /assign @jgragnola
)/due 2021-
- add due date based on workback schedules (example: /due 2020-07-13
or /due tomorrow
or /due 07/13/2020
)/milestone %
- add milestone based on the due date of the issue (example: /milestone %"Mktg:
)/weight
- add weight between 1-5, with 1 being easiest (between 1-4 hours of time) and 5 being most complex (a full week of work). The majority of issues should fall into 1-2. If estimation is weight of 3+, break into separate issues for more manageable pieces to fit into milestones. (example: /weight 1
)/epic
- add epic of the overarching campaign or project to keep things organized. In almost all cases, there is a larger initiative that the issue relates to, so it is best practice to associate issues to the most relevant epic for visibility. (example: /epic [https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/marketing/-/epics/370](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/marketing/-/epics/370)
)The campaigns team uses the overall 2-week marketing milestones (format of Mktg: YYYY-MM-DD) to organize, prioritize, and balance campaigns, projects, and requests.
