Overview of Ads Naming Conventions

Updated 

To streamline the advertising creation process that involves multiple teams, agencies, and stakeholders, it's crucial to have a consistent naming convention. This will reduce the risk of duplication and improve the efficiency of running campaigns.

Sprinklr offers a solution by automating the naming process for social advertising entities, leading to increased consistency and saving time. With Sprinklr, you can create naming conventions for various channels including Meta, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, LINE, Reddit, and Nextdoor.

The naming convention structure helps in easily identifying, differentiating, and managing your campaigns, ad sets, and ads.
