Naming Conventions: A Guide for Foleon

Why Naming Matters

Consistent naming conventions are essential for:

  • Governance: Ensures compliance with internal standards and simplifies audits.
  • Searchability: Makes it easier to locate assets quickly across platforms.
  • Collaboration: Enables seamless teamwork by reducing confusion and duplication.

A clear naming structure helps us maintain order, especially as we scale our content production using platforms like Foleon.

Standard Naming Format

To ensure consistency, we follow this structure:

[Country Code] [Campaign Code] [Name] [Type]

Breakdown:

  • Country Code: 2-letter ISO code (e.g., BE for Belgium, NL for Netherlands)
  • Campaign Code: A unique identifier combining:
    • Year (e.g., 25)
    • Initials of the campaign or owner (e.g., MSfor Matthew Smet)
    • Number (e.g., 001002, etc.)
  • Name: A short, descriptive title of the asset (e.g., Product Launch)
  • Type: The content type (e.g., eBookLandingPageBrochure)

Example:

BE 25MS001 Product Launch Landing Page

❌ Don’t:

  • Use underscores, or special characters.
  • Skip any part of the naming structure.
  • Use vague or generic names like “Final” or “NewVersion”.
