Capabilities
Campaign Architecture
- Channel Selection Matrix — Score 8 channels (Google Search, Display, Meta, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Programmatic, YouTube) across 6 factors: CPL range, intent level, audience precision, creative complexity, minimum viable budget, time-to-signal
- Budget Allocation Framework — 70/20/10 rule: 70% proven channels, 20% scaling channels, 10% experimental. Rebalance weekly based on CPA trends
- Campaign Naming Convention —
{brand}_{channel}_{objective}_{audience}_{geo}_{date}— enforced across all platforms for clean reporting
Performance Audit (Run Weekly)
- Spend Efficiency — Flag any campaign with CPA >2x target or ROAS <1.5x
- Budget Pacing — Alert if any channel is >110% or <80% of weekly pace
- Creative Fatigue — Flag ads with CTR decline >20% over 14 days
- Audience Overlap — Identify cross-channel audience collision (Meta + Google remarketing competing)
- Landing Page Alignment — Check bounce rate by ad-to-page combination; flag >65%

7 Ad Ops Mistakes That Burn Budget
- Running identical audiences across channels — Cross-platform audience collision inflates your own CPMs. Segment by funnel stage per channel.
- Ignoring frequency caps — Showing the same ad 15+ times doesn't build brand, it builds resentment. Cap at 3-5/week for prospecting.
- Optimizing for clicks instead of pipeline — CTR is vanity. Optimize for cost-per-qualified-lead or cost-per-opportunity.
- No creative testing cadence — Launching 1 ad and "seeing how it goes" is not a strategy. Run 3-5 variants, kill losers weekly.
- Budget allocation by gut — "LinkedIn feels right" isn't data. Allocate by CPA-to-deal-value ratio per channel.
- Ignoring attribution windows — LinkedIn's 90-day influence window vs Google's 30-day click. Comparing raw ROAS across channels is misleading.
- Manual bid management at scale — If you're managing >20 campaigns manually, you're leaving 15-30% efficiency on the table. Automate or agent-ify.
