{ad-platform-selection}

Marketing

Decide which paid channel families fit a business's economics, audience, funnel stage, and budget at campaign setup - paid search, paid social, short-form video, connected TV, native/discovery, retail media, programmatic display, podcast/audio, paid review listings, B2B professional networks - including whether each is affordable against allowable CAC and payback. Use whenever the user asks where to spend a new ad budget, which platform to advertise on, how to build a paid channel mix, whether a channel is worth trying, or compares two ad channels - even if they never say 'channel selection'. Covers B2B and B2C. Do NOT use to split an ongoing budget across existing campaigns - use mbfinotti/advertising-skills@ad-spend-allocation instead.

How this page is produced

The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.

Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.

Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.

An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
