Fieldnote — "Trailhead" Camping Season Launch

A 1-month multimedia campaign budget for a camping-season product launch, built line-item by line-item the way a marketing coordinator or agency planner would hand it to a manager for approval. Three spend tiers show the same categories scaling together — the split is the strategy, at every size.

Reference rate used throughout: $1 ≈ ₩1,350 · figures are illustrative for classroom use, not a real client budget.

Budget Paid Media Plan

Paid Media Plan — Medium Tier Detail

What a media buyer actually loads into the ad platforms: budget, targeting, expected rate, and the metric each line is judged on.

CPMCost per 1,000 impressions — what awareness costs to buy.
CPCCost per click — what a visit to the site costs.
CPVCost per view — what a completed video view costs.
CTRClick-through rate — clicks ÷ impressions, a relevance signal.
VTRView-through rate — the share who watch to completion.
CPA / CACCost per acquisition — total spend ÷ conversions.
ROASReturn on ad spend — revenue generated per dollar spent.
FrequencyAverage times one person sees the ad — watch for fatigue above 4–5.
ReachUnique people served the ad at least once, not total impressions.
How to use this. Every line is what an approver expects to see: a named cost, a category it rolls up to, and a total that reconciles across all three tiers. Notice what stays constant as spend rises — the paid/content ratio barely moves — and what changes: influencer investment and tool sophistication grow fastest, because more budget buys more proof, not just more reach. Build your own capstone budget in this exact shape: category → line item → three honest scenarios → a total that reconciles.
