The campaigns tool in HubSpot allows you to tag related marketing assets and content, so you can easily measure the effectiveness of your collective marketing efforts.

Create a campaign

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Planning and Strategy > Campaigns.
  • In the upper right, click Create campaign.
  • In the dialog box, configure your campaign:
    • Enter a campaign name. This should be a unique campaign that other users in your HubSpot account will easily understand.
    • Select a campaign color, which can help you organize and prioritize your campaigns. Any tasks you associate with your campaign will feature the selected color in your marketing calendar.
  • Click Create.

Add assets and content

  • In the upper right, click Add assets.

  • In the dialog box, select an asset type in the left sidebar menu to add to the campaign.

Please note: adding assets or content that are already associated with another campaign to a new campaign will remove them from their current campaigns. Only workflows can be associated with multiple campaigns.

Moving forward, you can also associate existing and new assets or content with the campaign from their respective tools. Learn how to analyze the performance of your HubSpot campaigns.
