The objectives you can choose from are:
- Awareness
- Video views
- Engagement
- Website visits

You can target specific audiences depending on their job function, industry, location, and seniority. Make sure not to limit your audience too much. While you may want to target senior executives specifically, it is important to draw in a wider audience.
4. Set your budget and schedule

5. Select your payment
Enter your information or select your existing account if you have a credit card. Using a credit card will automatically create a Campaign Manager account for you.
