    Stick around for a chat through how to a) write a better plan and b) how to stick to it!

    Welcome to this week’s episode!

    I’m joined by Sophie Khan from our paid social team and we’re going to be talking about how to turn around a failing, or declining ad account. This is such an important topic, because no matter how good you are at paid media, at some point you are going to be faced with a challenging situation.

    To summarise what we cover:

    • How to know ahead of time that you’re going to have issues (as much as is possible) and be in a position to react early
    • What your first steps should be when you see performance declining
    • What data to look at and how to assess what is going on
    • Planning your next moves and being clear with your actions
    • How to avoid knee jerk reactions and panic
