# Product Marketing vs Campaign Creator: Clear Demarcation

**Last Updated**: January 2025  
**Status**: Concept Clarification & Reorganization Plan

---

## The Confusion

We've been mixing up three distinct concepts:

1. **Product Marketing** - Creating assets ABOUT a product (product images, animations, voice-overs)
2. **Campaign Creator** - Creating multi-channel marketing campaigns with phases
3. **Ad Campaign Creator** - Creating platform-specific ad campaigns (Google Ads, Facebook Ads)

**Current State**: What we built is actually a **Campaign Creator**, not Product Marketing.

## Proposed Reorganization

### Option A: Rename & Split

1. **Rename Current Suite**:
   - `Product Marketing Suite` → `Campaign Creator` or `Marketing Campaign Suite`
   - Keep all existing functionality
   - Focus: Multi-channel campaign orchestration

2. **Create New Product Marketing Suite**:
   - New module focused on product assets
   - Product images, animations, voice-overs
   - Integration with WaveSpeed for product-specific features

3. **Future: Ad Campaign Creator**:
   - Separate module for platform ads
   - Google Ads, Facebook Ads, etc.

### Option B: Unified Suite with Clear Modules

Keep everything under one suite but with clear modules:

**"Marketing Suite"** with three modules:
1. **Product Marketing** - Product asset creation
2. **Campaign Creator** - Multi-channel campaign orchestration
3. **Ad Campaign Creator** - Platform ad management (future)

## Questions to Decide

1. **Naming Convention**:
   - Option A: Rename everything to "Campaign Creator"
   - Option B: Keep "Marketing Suite" with clear modules

2. **Product Marketing Features**:
   - Should it be part of Image Studio?
   - Or separate module?
   - Integration points?

3. **Migration Path**:
   - How to handle existing users with "Product Marketing" campaigns?
   - Data migration strategy?
   - UI/UX transition?

---

## Recommendation

**My Recommendation**: Rename current suite to "Campaign Creator" and build a new "Product Marketing" module focused on product assets.

**Reasoning**:
- Current implementation is clearly campaign orchestration, not product marketing
- True product marketing is valuable and distinct
- Clear separation prevents future confusion
- Both can coexist as separate modules
