*Start drawing cards.
*On duration 5 it is better to play {{IL|The face of the campaign|Short=yes}} than any other card. Choose anyone except for yourself. Playing this card raises your difficulty a bit (and may make it impossible to raise difficulty further afterwards), but this raise will come handy at duration 1. If unable to choose Spokesperson immediately, play {{IL|Sampling the product|Short=yes}} - with 5-sized Lodgings you'll always have this in your first draw if you're unlucky with {{IL|The face of the campaign|Short=yes}}.

*On duration 4 to 2 play any card that allows you to pass its check and give maximum possible amount of {{IL|Advertising Profile: Name Recognition|Short=yes}} while looking for {{IL|The face of the campaign|Short=yes}} (if not drawn earlier), except for those: {{IL|An urgent assignment|Short=yes}}, {{IL|Freshly-printed trade cards|Short=yes}}, {{IL|The efforts of the competition|Short=yes}}. {{IL|The efforts of the competition|Short=yes}} may seem like a good card, but it can shift your campaign's focus which will spawn conflict cards, and those conflicts are both bad for overall EpA and can proc on duration 1, thus blocking rare options.

*On duration 4 to 2 play any card that allows you to bypass its check and give maximum possible amount of {{IL|Advertising Profile: Name Recognition|Short=yes}} while looking for {{IL|The face of the campaign|Short=yes}} (if not drawn earlier), except for those: {{IL|An urgent assignment|Short=yes}}, {{IL|Freshly-printed trade cards|Short=yes}}, {{IL|The efforts of the competition|Short=yes}}. {{IL|The efforts of the competition|Short=yes}} may seem like a good card, but it can shift your campaign's focus which will spawn conflict cards, and those conflicts are both bad for overall EpA and can proc on duration 1, thus blocking rare options.
*On duration 1 discard any discardable cards and use cards with colored borders (other than black-colored). Remember: {{IL|A trade show|Short=yes}}(with {{IL|Violantly Mercantile Cuttlefish|Appearance = }} ) is better than {{IL|A stroke of luck|Short=yes}} which is better than regular {{IL|A trade show|Short=yes}}; they are both strictly better than campaign-specific cards (i.e., {{IL|A questionnaire|Short=yes}} and the others), and seasonal ones (i.e., {{IL|'Tis the Season|Short=yes}}) are worse than all other rare options. If your difficulty is higher due to selecting face of the campaign, rare cards will become more profitable and can help you grab another item or two during final conversion. If you chose your Spokesperson, have no conflict cards, no cards with black borders and no undiscarded helpers, you are guaranteed to spawn at least 1 rare card on draw, which helps with your overall EpA.
