Episode notes
Small Market And Single Purchase Model Accelerated Saturation
- Phil's problematic account was UK-only with ~60M population, long ad history and single-purchase products, which accelerated audience saturation.
- The small TAM and lack of new product led to reached population exhaustion and rising CPMR.
Prioritize Creative Volume And Diversity
- Maintain a high volume of diverse, high-quality creative so users see a story across ads instead of the same creative repeatedly.
- Phil and Andrew stress that identical creative shown multiple times quickly reduces performance; variety extends reach.
Consolidate Campaigns To Lower Frequency
- Consolidate campaigns and ad sets: fewer, larger budgets reduce audience overlap and frequency, lowering CPMR and increasing unique reach for the same spend.
- Move to CBO and reduce excessive ad set fragmentation that forces Meta to chase the same small pockets repeatedly.
