07C01 Campaign framework PLANNED
The campaign framework is the repeatable spine behind every push — a shared brief, defined phases, a channel mix, and clear roles. It turns one-off campaigns into a system anyone can run on-brand.
BRIEFOne template PHASESTease → sustain CHANNELSMix model ROLESRACI
WCN
C01.1 · BRIEF TEMPLATE
Start from the same page.
Every campaign opens with one brief: objective, audience, single message, success metric. If it can’t be stated on one page, it isn’t ready to build.
FIELDSGoal · audience · message
METRICOne success number
LENGTHOne page
SIGN-OFFBefore build
C01.2 · PHASES
Tease, launch, sustain.
Campaigns run in defined phases — tease, launch, sustain, wrap — each with its own assets and cadence. The phase model keeps a campaign alive past day one.

ASSETSPer phase

C01.3 · CHANNEL MIX
The right rooms.
A channel-mix model maps message to medium — owned, earned, paid — so spend follows the audience, not habit. Not every campaign uses every channel.
MIXOwned · earned · paid
MAPMessage to medium
SPENDFollows audience
RULENot all channels
C01.4 · ROLES
Who does what.
A simple RACI fixes who owns, contributes and approves each part. Clear roles are what let a campaign move fast without stepping on the brand.

“A campaign without a frame is just a burst of noise.”
07C02 Ad campaigns PLANNED
Out-of-home and display ads are the brand at its most public — a billboard read at speed, a banner glimpsed in a feed. A format suite and tight print specs keep them bold without going off-brand.
OOHBillboard system FORMATSFull suite SPECSPrint-ready MESSAGEOne line
C02.1 · BILLBOARD SYSTEM
One line, at 70 mph.
Billboards carry a single statement and the mark — nothing that needs more than a glance. Vermilion on ink or ink on paper, type filling the space with confidence.
MESSAGEOne line
ELEMENTSStatement + mark
READUnder 3 seconds
COLOURHigh contrast
C02.2 · FORMAT SUITE
Every placement.
A suite covers billboard, transit, poster and digital-display ratios from one master layout. Designing the master once keeps a campaign consistent across wildly different sizes.

C02.3 · PRINT SPECS
Built for the press.
Large-format specs follow the production rules in cluster F — colour build, bleed, resolution at distance. Files ship press-ready so a vendor can’t drift the vermilion.

Placement is chosen for the audience, not just reach — the right neighbourhoods, transit lines and sites. A media plan ties each placement back to the campaign’s audience.

“A billboard has one second to be understood — spend it on one idea.”
07C03 Paid social PLANNED
Paid social is where brand meets performance — ads that have to stop a scroll and convert, without looking like every other growth-hacked feed. A creative system and a testing loop keep both alive.
FORMATSFeed · story · video CREATIVESystem TARGETAudience model TESTAlways-on
C03.1 · AD FORMATS
Every placement, sized.
Templates cover feed, story, reel and carousel at the right ratios, with safe zones for platform UI. Starting from format templates keeps quality even across a high volume of ads.

C03.2 · CREATIVE SYSTEM
On-brand, at speed.
A modular creative system — type, mark, motion, colour — lets the team ship many variants that still look like WCN. Performance never means abandoning the brand.
MODULARSwappable parts

C03.3 · AUDIENCE

Audiences map to the campaign brief and the funnel stage — prospecting creative differs from retargeting. The targeting model lives with the campaign, not buried in ad accounts.

C03.4 · PERFORMANCE TESTING
Learn, then scale.
An always-on test loop compares creative and audiences against the campaign metric, scaling winners and cutting losers. Decisions follow data, not the loudest opinion.

“Performance and brand aren’t a trade-off — off-brand ads convert worse over time.”
07C04 GTM playbook PLANNED
The go-to-market playbook is the checklist for shipping anything new — a phased launch, sequenced channels, and clear owners. It means every launch hits the same bar without reinventing the plan.

C04.1 · LAUNCH PHASES
Before, during, after.
Launches run in three phases — prep, launch day, follow-through — each with its own milestones. The after-phase is where most launches fail; the playbook makes it non-optional.

REVIEWPost-mortem
C04.2 · CHANNEL SEQUENCING
In the right order.
Channels fire in sequence — owned first, then earned, then paid amplification — so the story builds. Sequencing is what turns scattered posts into a coordinated launch.

C04.3 · LAUNCH CHECKLIST
Nothing forgotten.
A master checklist covers assets, approvals, support readiness and comms. It is run for every launch so the small things — a stale link, an unbriefed support team — never sink the big moment.

C04.4 · ROLES
One captain.
Each launch has a single owner who runs the playbook and makes the go/no-go call. Supporting roles are named up front so no one assumes someone else has it covered.

“Launch day is easy — the playbook earns its keep in the week after.”
07C05 Co-marketing PLANNED
Co-marketing puts WCN beside a partner — a joint announcement, a shared asset, a co-branded page. Lockup rules, co-brand standards and an approval flow keep both brands intact and equal.
LOCKUPPartner system RULESCo-brand KITShared assets APPROVEBoth sides
C05.1 · PARTNER LOCKUPS
Side by side.
The partner lockup pairs the WCN mark with another at equal weight, separated by a divider with fixed clear-space. It draws on the co-branding rules in the logo cluster (03A).
PAIREqual weight
DIVIDERFixed rule
CLEARPer 03A
ORDERAlphabetical
C05.2 · CO-BRAND RULES
Neither brand bends.
Each brand keeps its own colour and mark — no recolouring WCN to match a partner, and no asking them to match us. The shared layer is the layout, not the identities.
COLOUREach own
MARKUnchanged
SHAREDLayout only
RECOLOURNever
C05.3 · ASSET KIT
A shared starting point.
A co-marketing kit gives partners the lockup, approved colours, fonts and templates so they can build on-brand without back-and-forth. Self-serve, within clear guardrails.

C05.4 · APPROVAL FLOW

Co-branded work is approved by both brands before it ships — a lightweight review that protects each side. The flow is defined so partnerships move without a legal bottleneck each time.

“Good co-marketing leaves both brands looking like themselves.”

Campaigns, next on the roadmap.
The campaign layer is scoped but unbuilt — framework first, then channels. It waits on the editorial and sales foundations landing first.
