TRANSCRIPT
The Old Salesforce Campaign Structure
Historically, clients have relied on a Salesforce campaign structure to try to understand how various digital channels drive leads and contacts to different offers. The limitations within SFDC require clients to create an extensive amount of campaigns for every individual marketing activity, or offer, to understand how leads consume that offer from different digital channels.
The following slide is an abbreviated example of how clients have created SFDC campaigns to capture several ways a lead would consume the “Definitive Guide to Marketing White Paper”.

The New Salesforce Campaign Structure
With BrightFunnel Web Tracking, clients can move away from extensive manual SFDC Campaign Creation to capture every combination of Digital Channel / Campaign (Offer).
SFDC campaigns only need to be created to track the online “offers” or the “content” a prospect interacts with, and offline marketing activities such as events.

Recommendations: UTM Structure
The BrightFunnel snippet will capture the Channel or Source driving to a successful form fill or content download based on your UTM naming structure.
We will layer this information with your Salesforce Campaigns to show you how different Channels drive to successful form fills or content downloads.
Recommendations: UTM Structure
Recommended UTM Parameters (Aligned to Google Analytics): Campaign Medium (utm_medium) – suggested parameter to identify the medium the link was used upon such as: CPC, display, email, retargeting, or syndication etc.
Campaign Source (utm_source) – required parameter to identify the source or channel of your traffic such as: Google Adwords, LinkedIN, Newsletter, Demandbase, or Outbrain Syndication etc.
Campaign Name (utm_campaign) – required parameter to identify a specific promotion or campaign such as a product launch or white paper promotion.
Campaign Content (utm_content) – suggested parameter for additional details for A/B testing such as tagline, red logo or right rail.
Although we suggest leveraging the UTM structure as it is prescribed by GA, if you use UTM parameters differently (ie. medium aligns to channel), we can configure BrightFunnel accordingly.
