Module 2: Executing and Optimizing High-Performing Ads.
In Module 2, we shift from strategy to execution as we break down how to build, deploy, and measure high-impact paid social creative on Meta and TikTok. This module covers what makes ad creative effective across different formats, how to brief production teams efficiently, and how to avoid common pitfalls that lead to underperforming ads.
We’ll also tackle performance metrics—teaching you how to optimize and iterate based on data that truly matters to your business, rather than vanity metrics.
