A campaign that paid

A Meta advertising account rebuilt from the creative up — same budget as the previous agency, materially better return.

The challenge

The account was being run on autopilot: one creative, broad targeting, and a monthly report that explained the spend without improving it.

The approach

We rebuilt the creative first, because targeting cannot rescue a weak claim. Then a weekly cadence — read the numbers, cut the losing creative, write the next one. Managed weekly, not quarterly.

The outcome

Click-through improved roughly threefold against the previous agency on identical budget. The creative was the variable that moved.

Before

One creative, broad targeting, autopilot, a monthly report nobody acted on.


After

A weekly creative cadence on the same budget — roughly three times the click-through.

The process

How it was made.

I

Read

Twelve months of account history. The creative, not the targeting, was the ceiling.

II

Rebuild

New claims, new statics, new motion. Tested against the incumbent.

III

Cadence

Weekly review: cut the loser, write the next one.

IV

Report

A plain monthly note on what changed and why — no vanity metrics.
