Receipts

From my own work

Anonymized, with the denominator and the caveats left in.

First deposits by creative, read on the backend

Each square is one first deposit the backend recorded

Sample46 backend first deposits, one campaign

39first deposits came from 4 creatives

7from every other creative in the campaign

DecisionRebuilt the campaign around those 4 creatives

Rebuilt a campaign around the 4 creatives behind 39 of 46 backend first deposits.
Activity log

A creative pack got credit for a CPA improvement until the activity log showed the ad set budget had been halved three days before it went live. A control period at the new budget without the pack already showed the improved CPA.

How it starts

Diagnostic first, then a plan

  1. Free 30-minute diagnostic

    A short form, a pre-read built from public data and a call on the three biggest opportunities.

  2. A written plan

    Scope, tests in order, the stop rule for each test and what I need access to.

  3. The work

    A weekly review of your accounts and tests, a test roadmap and channel decisions, reported against your backend numbers with the stop rules agreed up front.

FAQ

Common questions

What does a week look like?

An async review of your accounts and tests, as a recorded walkthrough plus written notes, and a monthly strategy call.

Can you help us hire?

Yes. I help hire buyers and evaluate agencies, including test tasks and what to look for in their reporting.

Do you touch the accounts?

Advisory is review and decisions, and your team runs the accounts. Hands-on buying is a different engagement.
