Se trata de programar las campañas publicitarias de dos productos de belleza. En este contexto:
"Adelantamos la primera campaña de XXX y movemos a noviembre la de YYY para redistribuir la presión y evitar que coincidan en el aire."
De momento interpreto:
"We advance the first campaign of XXX, moving the YYY campaign to November to redistribute pressure and to avoid them coinciding in the air."

We're starting the initial X campaign earlier
A mí siempre me ha incomodado la posibilidad de que las locuciones del tipo 'adelantar una fecha'/'move the date forward' resulten ambiguas. En su sentido físico/espacial, 'adelante' en la agenda o en el almanaque, que se lee de izquierda a derecha y de arriba hacia abajo, puede interpretarse como más tarde. Además, uno habla de viajar hacia atrás en el tiempo (o en la memoria), al pasado, mientras que se mira 'hacia adelante' al futuro - o sea, más tarde.
Por último, ¡pensemos en la frase 'lo dejamos para más adelante'! "Bustos: 'Lo del retiro lo dejamos para más adelante'. El mediocampista aclaró todo y dejó atrás los dichos de la semana anterior..." (http://forodebanfield.com/top-secret/del-retiro-dejamos-para...
Resulta claro por el contexto que este 'adelantamos' significa hacer en fecha más temprana. Sin embargo, aunque tan sólo un 5% de los lectores interpretaran mal este tipo de locuciones, o cuando menos se sintieran algo inseguros y confundidos, eso ya sería motivo para buscar otra solución.
Por eso, yo siempre prefiero - no sólo en las traducciones sino también en la redacción a secas en cualquiera de los dos idiomas - evitar toda confusíón posible y refrasear.
Ejemplos: "From: ontologist, 30/04/2008 4:05:20 AM ... Subject: re: Forward in Time. To move the date or time 'forward' means to have it earlier/sooner. It's a bit ambiguous & falls back on custom to be understood. The term means to 'bring forward' or make earlier. Forward as in toward present moment...... From: stevepr ® 29/04/2008 9:58:31 AM. Subject: re: Forward in Time. The way I think of it is that if an event is brought forward it is to be 'before' the original date. I understand your reasoning about moving a date 'forward into the future' though. Except it doesn't tie in with accepted practice. When people talk about time travel they say going backward in time or forward to the future. Logically you can't go forward to the past."

"posted by Busithoth at 10:00 AM on January 30, 2005. Heh, ok yup, moving a date 'forward'. Be careful of that little ambiguity. . I had a boss who got real angry with me once because to me moving forward meant moving forward in time meaning Friday. His interpretation was moving something up the priority list as in 'bringing forward' meaning Monday." (http://www.metafilter.com/39130/And-I-thought-a-few-hours-of...

Example sentence:
We're starting the initial X campaign earlier and delaying the Y campaign until November, to spread the time pressure out and avoid the two campaigns being on the air simultaneously.
