Brand activation management software for field teams
CampusThreads brings activation staff, schedules, briefs, training, inventory, field reports, rewards, expenses, attributed leads, and campaign results into one workspace. It supports pop-ups, launch events, campus programs, local partnerships, retail visits, and community campaigns.
Coordinate the work around each brand activation
Brand activation management software helps a field team prepare people, carry out in-person work, and keep a reviewable record of what happened. CampusThreads connects the operating details with ambassador activity and program results.
Plan by campaign and location
Managers can organize ambassadors into groups, set locations, create shift series, assign tasks, and attach the material needed for each kind of activation.
Give ambassadors a field-ready brief
The mobile app shows the assignment details, training, checklist, contacts, files, assets, and report requirements. Ambassadors can check their schedule and availability from the same account.
Keep approval close to the evidence
Field reports carry submitted photos, time, notes, expenses, leads, and other campaign answers. A manager can review the work before rewards and reporting update.
Read campaign cost with activity
Budgets, compensation, expenses, rewards, inventory, hours, referrals, and attributed leads give the team a fuller record of the work completed in each market.
