How is a field marketing campaign managed from A to Z? The key role of campaign managers

Launching a field marketing campaign isn't pressing a button. It's a structured process, managed end to end by professionals whose role is as demanding as it is invisible: campaign managers.

At Tawkr, that's Jaro, Mathilde and Gauthier. Their mission: to be the link between clients, franchises and field experts — and ensure every campaign runs exactly as planned, or that a solution is found when it doesn't.

Step 1 — The client meeting and needs assessment

Everything starts with a conversation.

Before a single field expert knocks on a door, the campaign manager meets the client to understand precisely what they need: which product or service, which target, which geographic area, what acquisition volume, and in what timeframe.

This scoping phase is decisive. A poorly calibrated field campaign from the outset — wrong zone, wrong target, unrealistic objectives — won't be rescued by any field expert, however skilled.

Step 2 — Defining KPIs and objectives

Once needs are understood, the campaign manager translates the client's commercial objectives into concrete performance indicators.

These KPIs cover multiple dimensions: the target acquisition volume (contracts, donations, subscriptions), quality indicators (conversion rate, withdrawal rate, 30-day retention), and operational indicators (planned shifts, zones covered, performance by field expert).

This KPI framework serves as the reference throughout the campaign — for weekly reporting with the franchise and regular reporting with the client.

Step 3 — Choosing the franchise

Tawkr operates via a franchise network in France and Belgium. The choice of franchise to run the campaign is significant.

The campaign manager identifies the best-positioned franchise based on campaign location, the team's sector expertise, and its operational capacity to handle the planned volume.

Step 4 — Field expert training

Before launch, the field experts who will run the campaign are trained. This training is organised either at the franchise's premises or directly at the client's site.

Training covers product or cause knowledge, the legal framework for canvassing, and campaign-specific elements (geographic zone, priority target, FieldIQ™ data entry protocols).

Step 5 — Launch and real-time management

The campaign begins. Via FieldIQ™, field data flows back in real time. The campaign manager monitors and analyses it, coordinating with the franchise manager to adjust deployment as needed.

As Mathilde puts it: her day involves juggling data analysis with meetings to maintain human contact. Between dashboards and calls with franchisees and clients. A permanent balance between data and relationships.

Step 6 — Weekly reporting and client follow-up

Throughout the campaign, the campaign manager produces weekly reports with the franchise — to review KPIs, identify friction points, and take corrective decisions.

In parallel, they maintain regular reporting with the client. Transparency on results, explanation of adjustments, anticipation of next steps. The client never discovers their campaign performance after the fact — they follow it in real time.

What this role really demands

Gauthier specialises in territorial coordination and field expert team management. For him, the core of the job is human connection: building strong client relationships, responding to their needs, and being a constant support for field teams.

Jaro covered Belgium as a Brand Ambassador before arriving in Lille in 2023. Before managing campaigns, he was part of them. That field experience fundamentally changes how you understand the challenges faced by field experts — and how you support them. Two things are essential to him: preserving his hearing for his passion for music, and getting a good connection so he doesn't miss a second of the Tour de France.

What all three share: a day that never looks like the one before. Because the field always produces new situations, and no campaign unfolds exactly as planned. The campaign manager's job is also finding solutions adapted to each new situation — quickly, and pragmatically.
