How would you optimize this
campaign?
Provide at least three suggestions to improve this
campaign. (Answers might include things like: A/B
testing, different creative, changes to targeting)
Suggestion 1:Change the headline
Change the main headline to a more appropriate title, as we also target
people who work in the field, so it can be changed “Get In-demand skills”
Suggestion 2: Do A/B testing
Conducting a test by changing one of the advertising variables such as
the image, ad copy, or colors, and knowing which ad achieves the best
performance
Suggestion 3:Change target audience
Try targeting other audience than “Business Professionals Social Media
Enthusiasts”, maybe with broader interests in “Digital Marketing” and in-
market status “Employment”.

How would you optimize this
campaign?
Provide at least three suggestions to improve this
campaign. (Answers might include things like: A/B
testing, different creative, changes to targeting etc…)
Suggestion 1: Change ad copy
Appealing to students in the description part of Ad Copy is at odds with
the image and long quotation from the expert. To make it more aligned,
try changing the description to include something like “Taught by industry
professionals”.
Suggestion 2: A/B Test colors
The combination of orange and grey/black colors is although attention
grabbing, but might not be appealing to a lot of people. Try calmer colors
that are aligned with the landing page.
Suggestion 3: Change ad copy quotation
The quotation is really long and takes up a lot of space.
Try shorten it so that it can be skimmed through within 1 sec. Maybe try
some statistics about the job market in digital marketing instead.

How would you optimize this
campaign?
Provide at least three suggestions to improve this
campaign. (Answers might include things like: A/B
testing, different creative, adding or changes to
targeting, etc…)
Suggestion 1: Change ad headline
Change the main headline to a more appropriate title, as we also target
people who work in the field, so it can be changed “Get In-demand skills”
Suggestion 2: Change ad copy
Because this is remarketing campaign, we know that user is aware of the
program and therefore are further down the customer journey. Yet the Ad
Copy is better suited for awareness stage. Try including call to action for
this audience - “Enroll today to become a Digital Marketer”.
Suggestion 3: A/B Test ad creatives
Try impersonalized image as alternative to an image of female student
that might appeal to larger audience.
Part 4
Results, Analysis, and
Recommendations
Which campaign performed
the best? Why?
The best performing campaign among the three
presented above was the campaign targeting the
Affinity Audience.
It had the largest number of clicks .
which translated into larger number of
student’s sign-ups.
Its ROI was positive and twice as much as ROI of
other campaigns.
Recommendations for
future campaigns
Imagine you had additional budget, given your
campaign evaluation, how would you use it?
Because the first campaign with Affinity Audience
performed the best, I would try to optimize it further
and stop other campaigns
● Beyond implementing the suggestions formulated for
this campaign on slide 7 (changing Ad Copy headline,
A/B test, changing target Audience),
I would also A/B test colors and align them with the
landing page to create a holistic approach and smooth
transition from ad to product.
● I would also create new Ads with Ad Creatives that do
not show people (impersonalized images about digital
marketing) and check how they work in A/B test
● I would also check data from Google Analytics to
understand my target audience better especially those
that converted from my ads and try to base
my future ads on this information.
