25. Google AdWords – Summer Camp Campaign
Timing
The Summer Camp campaign on Google AdWords began on April 18, 2016,
and is still running, with no immediate end date scheduled.
When advertising began, three Ad Groups were created:
General Interest
Early Childhood
Grades K-5
On May 14, 2016, both the Early Childhood and Grades K-5 Ad Groups were
paused.
After 4 weeks of advertising, these 2 Ad Groups were being outperformed by
the General Interest Ad Group.
The decision was made to pause the under-performing Ad Groups and
allocate the entire budget to the General Interest Ad Group, which was
showing the best results.
