Overview
Creating a campaign allows configuring particular settings like start/end dates and budget for a group of desired line items. Line items grouped into a campaign provide flexibility in targeting, budget allocation, and bidding strategy. An example use case of a campaign could be an advertisement that has both web and mobile creative formats. Each of these formats can be associated to their own respective line item that both fall under the same campaign. Essential settings can be set on the line item level and do not have to get adopted from the campaign-level settings. This could include a separate start/end date, budgeting, and many more. To view how to create a campaign in Beeswax, please see Create a Campaign.
