Too ad-ish = low relevance
Need some quick-n-dirty ads for fast turn
Good standby campus & student pix
Brand your flag if you can, but if it’s visibly recognizable, might not even need that
Landing pages help a lot – be kind to your peeps
segue from fb ad, to landing sell, to click action
Coordinate visuals when you can – logos, pix, copy
THIS TAKES TIME AND COORDINATION!
