Common Questions

Campaign Taxonomy FAQs

What is campaign taxonomy?

Campaign taxonomy is the standardised system of names, codes, and structural rules used to identify marketing campaigns across platforms (UTM parameters, ad-platform campaign names, CRM campaign codes, MCI / Datorama classifications). Without a taxonomy, the same campaign appears as five different things in five different reports — making cross-channel measurement impossible.

What does Decision Foundry's campaign taxonomy service include?

A structured 4-phase engagement. (1) Audit — what taxonomy exists today, what's broken, what teams are bypassing. (2) Design — naming conventions, dimension structures, governance rules tailored to your marketing model. (3) Implementation — rolling out via tools like CampTag, training marketers, integrating with downstream platforms. (4) Maintenance — ongoing governance to prevent drift.

How is this different from just using CampTag?

CampTag is the enforcement tool; campaign taxonomy is the strategic framework that goes into it. You can run CampTag without a thoughtful taxonomy and produce well-formatted nonsense. Our taxonomy consulting designs the structure (what dimensions matter, what governance is needed, who owns what) before tools enforce it. Many engagements involve both.

How long does a taxonomy project take, and what does it cost?

A focused taxonomy redesign (single business unit, 2–3 channels) typically runs 4–8 weeks. Enterprise rollouts (multiple business units, global brand teams, multi-platform downstream) run 3–5 months including change management. Cost scales with stakeholder count and downstream integration depth.

We already have UTM rules — why do we need this?

UTM rules are the smallest part of taxonomy. A complete taxonomy spans: ad-platform campaign names, UTM parameters, MCI / Datorama harmonisation classifications, CRM campaign codes, attribution model dimensions, and reporting hierarchies. We typically find existing UTM rules but no upstream/downstream consistency — that's where measurement breaks down.

Why Decision Foundry for taxonomy?

We built CampTag because we kept fixing the same taxonomy problems for enterprise marketing clients — so our taxonomy expertise isn't theoretical. Plus deep MCI / Datorama knowledge means we design for downstream measurement integrity, not just upstream tagging convenience.
