Requirements

  • You have personally managed $100K+/day Meta spend on a single brand as an employee
  • You live in Ads Manager. Your daily pulse on the account is muscle memory, not a weekly report.
  • You understand that CAC is not a constraint to protect, it is an output you can raise. You know how to improve margin, AOV, bundle mix, subscription stick rate, and second-order rate so you can afford to pay more than your competitors to acquire a customer.
  • Creative volume is your weapon. You know volume matters, but you also know that a brilliant insight or a better hook can unlock more than a thousand new ad variants.
  • You do not rely on agencies to do the thinking for you
  • You ship imperfect ads on Thursday over perfect ads next Tuesday
  • You speak in specific numbers unprompted. CAC, ncROAS, spend levels, hit rates. No generalities.
  • You have a kill rule for losing ads and you stick to it
  • You have scaled from $10K a day to $100K a day and you know exactly what breaks at each level
  • You obsess over acquisition quality that retains, not just first-order ROAS
