Frequently asked

Aim for an audience that delivers meaningful impressions within 48–72 hours; typically a few tens of thousands for broad reach; refine with lookalikes for narrower targets.

We run controlled combinations: some runs isolate imagery, others isolate copy, plus mixed runs to identify interaction effects.

Frequent creative refresh, rotational scheduling, and performance-driven pruning ensure freshness. We combine asset pools and sequenced storytelling to extend attention.
