I can't understand what this article has any different from Advertising. It seems to be a content fork of that article. I'm not so sure if redirecting or merging would be okay, because the article is so big and has lasted for a long time, so I AFD'ed the article instead. Also, the article is very off-topic.

Keep The topic is notable as entire books are written about it with titles like Advertising Campaign Design; Advertising Campaign Planning; Advertising Campaign Strategy. The rest is then a matter of ordinary editing per WP:IMPERFECT. Deletion has no part to play in this per WP:ATD which states that "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." Andrew🐉(talk) 09:51, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is a difference between advertising generally, and a campaign. It is described in the lead section. There will naturally be overlap between these topics, but that doesn't mean they are a fork, content can be shared between articles. It is a question of balance and weight, which comes down to making an effort to improve the article. -- GreenC 15:24, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Needs cleaning out, but an advertising campaign is definitely a different thing than advertising generally. A campaign often refers to a specific marketing effort on behalf of a product or service and is often associated with a repeated conceptual theme, which a Google search will confirm. - WPGA2345 - ☛ 19:24, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets WP:GNG, as editors above, plus it is tertiary studied ie. "Advertising Management and Campaigns Project", "Marketing Communication and Advertising Major ", and "Bachelor of Business (Advertising)". Coolabahapple (talk) 23:12, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
