That’s the reason why we emphasize the Planning phase of the RACE Planning framework – structuring your marketing campaigns effectively means you dramatically increase your chances of success.

In this Quick Win, you’ll learn how to structure your ad campaigns so that you can quickly isolate the ads that have the strongest impact on your audience. We’ll help you understand the buyer journey and show how this forms the backbone of an effective social ad campaign.
