For each campaign, you must select a set of parameters that determine to what extent and to whom the ad will be delivered. Most of these parameters are common. These are: duration, the media and the subject of the campaign. The potency of the campaign depends on the selected parameters. If you choose them wrong, the whole action can end in a fiasco. So, if you want to get support from groups focused around science, such as the Technocrats, you should use the Internet and refer to slogans such as education or technology. More conservative groups, such as pensioners, will prefer newspapers and appeals to the family. For the middle class, select television and slogans related to work and money.
The duration of the campaign is the same as the duration of its effects. However, the longer you want to run it, the more it costs. The best option is to choose six-months long campaigns. There's also a limit on the number of simultaneous campaigns. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully analyze the situation and decide which option is currently the most profitable.
