Who this template is for

Marketing Budget Request is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in marketing & agency.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 15 questions across 3 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 11 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Request Type” is Increase Existing Budget, the form dynamically exposes “Previously Approved Budget and Reason for Increase”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Request Type” is Reallocate Existing Budget, the form dynamically exposes “Source of Reallocated Funds”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Deadline Flexibility” is Fixed External Deadline, “Decision Needed By” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

Should this request include the full campaign plan?

No. Include enough context to justify the spend and assess the trade-offs. Use the Marketing Campaign Brief for audience, messaging, deliverables, and the wider execution plan.

What amount should I enter for a budget increase?

Enter only the additional amount needing approval. Put the previously approved amount and proposed revised total in Previously Approved Budget and Reason for Increase.

Can I submit a request before I have supplier quotes?

Yes, if your review process accepts estimates. Mark estimated cost lines clearly and explain their basis; update the reviewer if a later quote changes the amount or scope.
