The Campaign Engagements Over Time Report is a vertical bar chart in Analytics that shows a high-level overview of the total number of experts who engage with a brand through campaigns and communities over time on ExpertVoice. The horizontal axis at the bottom represents the date range of interest, and the vertical axis to the left of the chart reports a specific engagement display metric, either Unique Experts Engaged or all Engagements.
This report helps brands monitor their monthly total expert engagements, which they can compare to the total amount initially forecasted in their ExpertVoice Solution.
Note: All brands can access this report, but the data is most valuable for day-to-day contacts monitoring total billable engagements, such as the Program Manager, Accounting, or Finance.
