Which campaign boundaries still matter with AI?
Navah Hopkins considers which parts of campaign structure remain useful as advertising platforms automate more decisions. The article connects consolidation with signal quality while preserving distinctions that matter for budgets, goals and business constraints. Read it before reorganising an account simply to follow a consolidation trend. It offers a way to question each boundary: whether it helps the business control something important or fragments learning without a clear purpose, with measurement and asset quality still central to the decision.
