# Touchpoint Hierarchy HockeyStack allows you to get a unified view of how your marketing and sales are performing at various levels of granularity. This can be done using the touchpoint hierarchy that is set up during your onboarding. At HockeyStack, we see marketing like a Russian doll made up of two sets of hierarchical levels: * Channels * Campaigns * Asset Type * Asset ## Channels and Campaigns ### Channels A **channel** is a specific medium or platform used to deliver a campaign and message. Think of channels as the avenues through which your marketing messages get transmitted. Channels include digital channels like LinkedIn and email, and in-person channels like events or trade shows. They can include both inbound and outbound activities. During the implementation, HockeyStack analyzes your data and suggests a recommended reporting structure that best reflects the channels that you use in marketing activities. As part of this process, we also distinguish between organic and paid channels, and identify the platforms you use—such as Google, LinkedIn, and others. ### Campaigns A **campaign** is a coordinated set of marketing activities designed to achieve a specific goal within a certain timeframe. A single campaign can run through one channel- for example, a LinkedIn campaign—or it can run across multiple channels- like a demand gen campaign across LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. During the implementation process, we build a Campaign property for you that helps you attribute your KPIs to specific campaigns that you run. ## Asset Type and Asset ### Asset Type Asset Type is a categorization of assets. Typical asset types can include a blog, a use case (both on your website), or a webinar (SFDC campaign). ### Asset An **asset** is either a creative asset within your campaign or a creative asset that serves as a destination or touchpoint. For example, an asset could be a landing page, your website, or a specific webinar. ## Setting the touchpoint hierarchy You can check how HockeyStack views your touchpoint hierarchy at the moment in the [data-categorization-in-hockeystack](https://docs.hockeystack.com/marketing-intelligence/settings/data-categorization-in-hockeystack "mention") doc.
