LinkedIn SMM Briefs: Separate Client Approval from Supplier Instructions

A LinkedIn campaign brief needs both business approval and a precise service specification. Keep those roles distinct so a supplier-facing order contains only the relevant authorized details.

Capture the approved objective

Record the company or account owner's approved target, action and spending limit. A general request to promote the business does not identify a particular post or quantity. Resolve those choices internally before turning the plan into a service purchase.

Translate it into order fields

Use the selected listing's actual target format, service ID and quantity rules. Include only requested operational information. Do not share internal client discussions, account credentials or unrelated employee details when a public post reference is sufficient for the service.

Preserve change authority

State who may approve a different target, quantity or additional charge if the initial configuration is incompatible. Keep any accepted revision with the original brief. This prevents a routine eligibility question from becoming an unapproved expansion of the campaign or a misleading client report.

Illustrative scenario

Worked example

A hypothetical client approves reactions on one company announcement with a fixed budget. If the service minimum makes that configuration unavailable, the reseller should obtain an approved revision. Switching to a different post or larger quantity is a new decision, not a clerical correction.

Example figures explain the decision; they are not current prices or promised results.
