Caitlin,
My apologies, I should have explained this better. TripAdvisor ads are campaigns you just
build online and purchase. There is no agreement or documentation. You just select your
audience, demographics, how much you want to spend, and upload your video you want
to promote. So I just saved the draft campaign I built and downloaded it as a PDF for the
commissioners to review. I hope that clears up any confusion.

Hey Caitlin,
I got approval from Shawn to move forward with this ad spend with
TripAdvisor. I wanted to forward it to you for review and approval from the
