Pro tips

Social Media Advertising Campaign Structure
  • Create platform-specific content rather than using the same assets across all platforms. What works on TikTok rarely performs well on Facebook without adaptation.
  • Allocate at least 15% of your budget to continuous testing of new audiences, creative approaches, and messaging variations.
  • Focus creative development on addressing your specific conversion challenge rather than general brand awareness for maximum ROI.
  • Establish clear KPIs for each funnel stage and don’t judge awareness-stage content on conversion metrics or vice versa.
