Extract information from the campaign name and use it to set the value of a Dimension in Marin.

What can I do with this?

• Automatically set Dimension values based on the campaign name
• Create roll-up across account structures with Dimensions
• Use cases include:
  • Brand vs Non-brand
  • Geo
  • Audience
  • Funnel Stage or Intent
  • Optimization Targets

Example

How it works

Extracts text from the campaign name and uses the provided rules to parse the desired information. There are three general approaches for different campaign naming conventions:

• String Matching: Looks for a string in the name, and sets a value if found
• Structured: Parses the campaign name based on a separator and extracts information from each different positions 
• Custom: Regular expressions (regex) can be used for more complex structures

Requirements

Setup

• At least one Dimension to hold the extracted value

Report

• Account
