# Starting a campaign in six steps

> You start a new campaign via Campaigns → Overview and then go through the six steps.

In your account, go to Campaigns → Browse and click ‘Create new campaign’. This button is located both above and below the list of campaigns, so at the bottom of a long list you do not have to scroll all the way back to the top.

You will go straight to the first of the six steps. On the right side of the screen you will see the steps: this shows which step you are on and which ones still follow. You can always reopen an earlier step, as long as the campaign has not been sent yet.
