# How Does ORB Entertainment Campaign Revival Work?

Official source: https://orbdistro.com/help/how-campaign-revival-works-orb-entertainment

Restart an eligible ended ORB campaign with a new paid budget and schedule while keeping the same campaign, ads, and reporting history.

Campaign revival lets an artist restart an eligible ended ORB Entertainment advertising campaign by purchasing an additional media budget and choosing a new schedule. ORB reuses the existing campaign and ads rather than creating a separate campaign. Earlier results and payment history remain available. Revival is a new purchase, not a free extension or a reset of previous spending.

## How do I revive an ORB campaign?

1. Sign in to the ORB artist portal and open **Campaigns**.
2. Find the eligible ended campaign and choose **Revive campaign**.
3. Enter the additional media budget and choose the new start and end dates.
4. Review the quote, including media spend, ORB's service fee, and the actual checkout currency.
5. Complete the supported checkout. ORB must verify the payment before applying the additional budget and schedule.
6. Return to the campaign to check delivery status and **View Progress**. A payment confirmation is not proof that the ad is already serving.

Use the minimum budget and duration shown for the selected advertising platform. Checkout validates the quote and schedule; an unsupported budget or schedule cannot be bypassed by paying a different amount.

## Which campaigns can be revived?

Revival is for eligible completed campaigns and campaigns whose delivery schedule has ended. An expired campaign can be eligible even if its last saved label still says Active, Scheduled, or Paused. A removed campaign or a campaign with an unresolved revival cannot start another revival purchase.

An intentionally paused campaign with time remaining is different from an ended campaign. Resuming it uses its existing funded schedule; it does not automatically require buying a revival.

## Does campaign revival create a new ad or erase my results?

No. ORB keeps the same existing advertising campaign and its ads. Historical daily metrics stay available, and new delivery results are added to the same campaign report. Revival does not reset the previous spend, overwrite earlier results, or guarantee the same future performance.

To change the creative, audience, or destination, use the available campaign revision controls rather than assuming a revival purchase edits those details.

## How is the new budget calculated?

Each revival has its own payment record. The new media budget is added to the previously purchased media allowance, and ORB applies the cumulative funded limit to the existing campaign. The service fee is separate from advertising media spend. A repeated payment callback must not add the budget twice.

Review the actual quote before paying. A budget expressed for advertising spend is not necessarily the amount debited in your checkout currency.

## Does payment make my revived campaign run immediately?

Not necessarily. ORB first verifies the payment and applies the funded schedule. Delivery depends on the selected dates, provider eligibility, policy checks, and successful activation. Existing approval does not override a new advertising-policy restriction. Check the actual campaign status instead of treating payment confirmation as proof of delivery.

## What if I paid but revival needs attention?

Do not start another purchase for the same revival. ORB retains the confirmed purchase for recovery. Use the available retry or support option and include the campaign reference and payment reference. Recovery must reuse the paid revival rather than charging again for the same funding.

## Is campaign revival the same as automatic refills?

No. Revival is a separate purchase for an ended campaign. Optional automatic refills are an explicit opt-in funding mode with their own settings and maximum charge limit. Purchasing a revival does not itself authorize unlimited charges or an automatic subscription.
