We manage $200K+/day in PROFITABLE FB ads for a fast-growing DTC client.

This level would be impossible to hit without automation

Here's a thread on how you can achieve the same results in your ad account (includes templates and tools) But first, a pre-requisite:

You won't get these results unless you can test hundreds of creatives every month.

Rule of thumb, the more creatives you feed the FB algorithm with, the better it becomes at identifying winners to scale

Every month, we manage more than $1mn in profitable spends on FB ads.

In the process, we have identified 5 mistakes that prevent 7-8 fig DTC brands from profitably scaling to $50k and beyond in daily spends.

A thread 🧵: These mistakes are:

1) Low creative testing rate
2) Using only pixel-based tracking
3) Neglecting automated rules
4) Creative and media buyer teams working in silos
5) Using narrow audiences

Let's take it from the top.

So many DTC ad accounts that we audit have glaring issues like:

- little to no creative testing
- incorrect campaign objectives
- confusing account structure

This happens when agencies assign clients to junior media buyers who have just joined.

And that's not the worst part These buyers have to handle 8-10 other client accounts, which makes it impossible for them to understand:

- the brand and the product
- the consumer motivation
- the competitive landscape

Know why it's so hard to profitably scale Facebook ads after a certain point?

A thread 👇 Every video needs to be structured so that it follows a straight line...
