**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Program vs. Channel vs. Campaign

| Term | Definition | Examples |
|------|------------|----------|
| **Program** | High-level strategy; collection of channels to achieve a discrete goal | Thought leadership program, lifecycle program, loyalty program |
| **Channel** | Specific medium/platform for communication | Email, LinkedIn, SEO, paid ads, events |
| **Campaign** | Time-bound initiative using one or more channels | Product launch, seasonal sale, holiday giveaway |

**Relationship**: Program contains campaigns; campaigns use channels. Avoid using terms interchangeably.

## PESO Model

Organize communications into four integrated categories:

| Type | Examples | Role |
|------|----------|------|
| **Paid** | Ads, sponsored content, influencer partnerships | Immediate reach, targeting |
| **Earned** | PR, media coverage, organic mentions | Authority, credibility |
| **Shared** | Social engagement, co-created content, EGC | Community, authenticity |
| **Owned** | Website, blog, email, content hub | Strategic foundation; anchor |

**Best practice**: Owned media as anchor; sequence PESO intentionally. Integration over silos--all four work together for synergy.

## Growth Metrics by Stage

| Stage | Focus metrics |
|-------|----------------|
| **Early (traffic)** | Website traffic; organic traffic; keyword rankings |
| **Channel testing** | ROI (influencer), LTV (discount), ROAS (paid) |
| **Monetization** | CAC, conversion rate |
| **Scale** | MRR, ARR |

**Principle**: Growth is a means, not an end—it serves conversion and monetization. Don't pursue traffic at the cost of user precision or long-term brand health.

## Customer Journey by Stage

Map touchpoints across the lifecycle to avoid channel silos:

| Stage | Touchpoints |
|-------|-------------|
| **Awareness** | PR, ads, word-of-mouth, email, PPC |
| **Consideration** | Social ads, reviews, blog, media, direct email |
| **Purchase** | Website, e-commerce, store |
| **Retention** | FAQ, knowledge base, community forum |
| **Advocacy** | Social, blog, promotions, newsletter |

**Use**: Assign channels to stages; ensure handoffs (e.g. awareness → consideration) are intentional. See **growth-funnel** for AARRR framework.

## Channel Evaluation Framework

When selecting channels, evaluate across:

| Variable | Question |
|---------|----------|
| **Goal** | Awareness, acquisition, loyalty? |
| **Cost** | Budget; CAC vs LTV |
| **Measurability** | Can you attribute impact? ROI clarity? |
| **Speed** | Time to full impact |
| **Scale** | How big can this channel get? |
| **Fit** | Does target audience use it? |
| **Effort** | Resources to set up and maintain |

## Example Programs

| Program | Channels | Goal |
|---------|----------|------|
| **Thought leadership** | PR, social, influencers, spokespeople, events | Brand authority |
| **Lifecycle** | Email, website chat, retargeting, SMS | Conversion, retention |
| **Loyalty** | Email campaigns, promotions, personalized offers | Retention |
| **Brand awareness** | Content marketing, influencer partnerships, PR | Reach |

**Content marketing**: See **content-marketing** for content types, formats, repurposing across channels.

## IMC Best Practices

- **Start focused**: 2-3 connected channels first; prove ROI before expanding
- **Map to funnel**: Assign channels to awareness, consideration, decision
