Campaign strategy
The job of the spend: new demand, remarketing, or a specific offer. One job per campaign beats a muddled account.
Facebook Ads · Instagram Ads
I set up and improve Facebook and Instagram campaigns with a conversion goal, an audience you can explain, and creative you can test. I will not promise guaranteed results. If the landing page cannot close, we talk about the page before we talk about scale.
Facebook and Instagram can create demand quickly. They also burn money when the account is messy and the page was never built for the click. The work below is how I keep the spend honest.
The job of the spend: new demand, remarketing, or a specific offer. One job per campaign beats a muddled account.
Clean naming, sensible ad sets, and room to test without duplicating chaos. Structure is how you learn.
Who should see this, based on the offer — not the widest possible net because “the algorithm will find them.”
Follow-up for people who already showed intent, with a message that matches what they saw.
Hook, offer, and format as variables. We change one thing at a time when we can, so a winner is actually a winner.
When a form is the right ask. Instant forms can work; they still need a follow-up process.
Traffic to a page built for the click. Pixel and events set up so optimisation has a signal.
Kill fatigue, shift budget, rewrite the loser. Reports that say what we changed and why.
Offer, page, tracking. If this is weak, ads only make the problem more expensive. Website work may come first.
Campaigns, audiences, and a testing grid you can describe in a sentence.
Enough spend to get a read. Not a splash that burns the month before anyone looked at creative.
You should see what paused, what scaled, and what is next. Connect to organic social so the brand matches.
A clear service, product, or lead magnet and a page that asks for something specific. Ads cannot invent a sharp offer.
Paid is often the bridge. It is a poor substitute for a site nobody can use — and a useful one when the site is ready.
I will not “just boost a post.” Boosting a random organic post trains the account to optimise for cheap clicks. Conversion campaigns need a conversion event and a matching landing experience.
FAQ
Enough to learn. If the budget cannot support a few creative and audience tests, we should wait or fix the offer first.
I work on campaign logic, testing, and performance. Creative can come from your team or a designer; the ads still need a clear offer and a destination that matches.
Not always. Retargeting works when the audience is large enough and the message is specific. Blanket remarketing of a weak page just reminds people they were unimpressed.
Send the offer, the current site, and any live ads. I will tell you whether to launch, fix the destination, or wait.
