you know quotes from the chat so
that yeah, you just have that
21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,100
all in one place, you know, have
to scroll through Twitter to see
22
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:16,500
some amazing tips that have been
shared in the past.
23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,000
So anyway, so this week, I'm
recording from my newly painted
24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
living room switching from a
deep green to a fantastic
25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,800
brilliant, white home.
Really opens up the room without
26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,300
that was actually the name of
the paint.
27
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:30,300
Brilliant white.
Yeah.
28
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:33,300
Mood swings about lockdown is
still going on, you know, I'm
29
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:35,400
going.
But thankfully, I'm not up right
30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,800
now.
So, anyway, this we do
31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,700
cheerleading Us in.
She leads us and a chat about ad
32
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:45,500
copy and challenges we face with
it in terms of creating and
33
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:48,900
approvals and the like this is
yeah definitely a time to think
34
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:52,300
about doing almost everything,
you know, in terms of like paid
35
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:55,900
media quite differently and
definitely ad copy should be on
36
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:59,000
the top of the list.
So yeah, let's get into it.
37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,500
So yeah, she goes.
Hello, I was thinking I'd talk
38
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,200
about ad copy and yeah, what is
working now and also how to get
39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,000
ideas.
So, yeah, that's the big one.
40
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,500
How to get inspired for new
testing parameters for us.
41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
She starts off with them.
A nice easy question.
42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,900
What's your favorite cookout?
Or picnic food me.
43
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:20,800
It's a Burger.
Plano Burger, nice and filling
44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,600
with cheese and bacon if
possible and I don't know why I
45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,800
said if possible.
Weisman, why is it not possible
46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,300
cheese bacon?
Letters gherkins.
47
00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:34,800
I think I know think don't know.
People don't necessarily always
48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,700
like that gets but I love
gherkins.
49
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:41,400
I have a whole big tub in a big
jar of it in my cupboard, and
50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,800
we've got Amanda.
Join us.
51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,400
A chips and french onion.

52
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Kara says good morning, Julie

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,800

Gotta say we grilled to trick
54
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,900
tips or top barbecue meet this
weekend twittertips.
55
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:57,800
No tri-tips.
That's interesting.
56
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,100
I don't know.
I don't know what that is.
57
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:01,600
Anyway, do they all reply?
As I love corn on, the cob
58
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,100
yellow watermelon and hot dogs
on the grill.
59
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,200
I do love a hotdog.
I have not had one in ages.
60
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:10,800
Yeah, I think I'll try and see
what I can get that because,
61
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,100
well, do I just feel like some
stores and yeah, with some, some
62
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:18,900
restauranteurs really well
lighter than trying myself and
63
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:21,800
Colin, Slattery reply saying,
hail will be in and out today,
64
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,600
but excited to talk about cook
at food.
65
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,800
I'm a classic burger guy.
Yes, always burger and a cold
66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,500
cheap beer, for me.
It's a bag and a cider.
67
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,800
Love a good sign.
Most McKay replies burgers on
68
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,500
the grill.
We had some last night.
69
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:36,300
Nice.
Anyway, so getting on to
70
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:39,200
question one.
Julie asks us, have you found
71
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,700
that particular ad copy?
I will have you found that
72
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:45,000
particular ad copy is working.
Well in search ads right now.
73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,800
Has changed from what was
historically, working, and Julia
74
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,800
voice replies to that same know
across the board messages are
75
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,800
very simple, get help here.
Messages worked well for public
76
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,300
sector and Mother's Day worked
really well for my restaurants.
77
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,500
So, and so got.
Yeah, Julia replying as well.
78
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:05,900
Saying Clarity seems to be even
more important.
79
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:09,700
Now like availability hours.
That is something I definitely
80
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,300
look out for.
Especially when I go on the
81
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:13,200
website.
It's like how they updated their
82
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,899
website to reflect whether the
anything is open, whether
83
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:21,300
operation is as normal during
this time.
84
00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:24,400
So, yes, cover companies should
really put down the top of their
85
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,600
strategy.
Yeah.
86
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,200
So we've got Amanda replying to
him.
87
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,300
It's good to have copied the
reflects the time.
88
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,500
From a branding perspective and
post cope post covid.
89
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,700
Copy has a slightly better CTR
versus generic copy.
90
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:43,000
However, CTR Improvement is
generally, not enough to move
91
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
the needle in conversion of
Revenue in my experience.
92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,200
And then yeah, we've got some
sem Rush which is like, Dinah
93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,000
representing them saying, this
is a great point in replied to
94
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,300
Julie, where Julia said Clarity
seems to be even more important.
95
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:01,600
She continues with things.
Changing by the day right now
96
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,000
Clarity.
So your customers, stay in the
97
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,300
note is key.
I completely agree with this and
98
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:10,400
jewelry pliers, you can tell the
ads that are still on autopilot
99
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,000
pilot from a few months ago or
even a month ago.
100
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,700
Yeah, Amanda replies.
I find it distracting when I see
101
00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:20,900
image video ads when people are
close together, touching, not
102
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:23,000
following social distancing.
Yes.
103
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,900
I do agree that I know that I
have to backtrack and think,
104
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:31,400
okay, they probably created this
ad before the You did the stay
105
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,800
at lockdown happened before
coronavirus really hated because
106
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,800
yeah, it's you'd be surprised
the process from directing
107
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,800
putting an ad together before it
actually which is an expression
108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,200
in terms of like TV ads, so it
can be hard to reflect the
109
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,200
current times when it comes to
TV ads.
110
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,000
But people should really be
careful to the reply to.
111
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,400
That is a great point.
I'd love to see some stats on
112
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,200
how these images, perform.
Now as a reply to that, a the
113
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,400
behavioral shift that nobody
could have predicted at the The
114
00:06:00,407 --> 00:06:04,200
start of the Year, seriously,
this time in January know is
115
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,100
thinking that these kind of
stuff will happen, what a
116
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:11,000
difference, a couple of months
make and into question to, we've
117
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,700
got Julie asking have you found
that particular ad copy is
118
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:16,900
working?
Well in Social ads right now?
119
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,700
As a changed from what has
historically worked?
120
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,100
Well and then both organotin are
into that.
121
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:26,100
Mark Kennedy replied question
one saying specific to covid ad
122
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:29,600
copy stating whether you're open
remote curbside.
123
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,200
Etc.
Has Working and has to correlate
124
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:36,000
with the landing page as well.
And then we've got some jewelry,
125
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,300
a voice replied.
Question to seem absolutely the
126
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:40,600
feel-good.
Non covid messages are working
127
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,400
really well.
Anything that is a nice
128
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,800
distraction is doing great.
Yes, I can imagine.
129
00:06:44,808 --> 00:06:48,000
So Julie, beginning replies.
Question to saying, on social
130
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,700
things that are not covered
related are doing better.
131
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:54,200
So, yeah, I'm social things that
are not covid.
132
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,300
Related are doing better.
I feel like on social people
133
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:00,200
want to get away from all that
is happening in the world.
134
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:04,400
World now more than ever plated
that need and ads do better
135
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,600
unless you're selling something
covid related unless you are
136
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,000
selling something covid-19 ated.
So yes, if you're selling masks,
137
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,200
if you're selling, you know,
equipment that prevents, you
138
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,000
know, that helps with social
distancing talk about covid.
139
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,700
Otherwise makes people smile
make people laugh.
140
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:23,300
I think people really do want to
get distracted.
141
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:27,800
And then just going back a
little step back, a little step
142
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,300
here with Andrew McGarry's,
answer to question.
143
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,300
One.
He goes some countries in Europe
144
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:35,900
are getting bored of primers and
responding more and more to
145
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:39,800
non-promotional message
messaging add fatigue continues
146
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,600
to be an ongoing concern.
Conception Arenal are applies to
147
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,300
that seen.
How do you fight?
148
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:48,500
How do you define
non-promotional messaging, a
149
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:52,700
lack of CTA and replies lead
with a branding foot?
150
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:57,600
As opposed to a commercial foot?
You can still have a CTA and
151
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,200
then we've got Diana from SM,
Rush replying.
152
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:02,900
To Julia vices answer to
question 2.
153
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:05,300
Where Julie had said,
absolutely, the feel-good, non
154
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:07,400
covid messages are working
really.
155
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,700
Well.
Anything that is a nice
156
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,100
distraction is doing great,
Dinah replies.
157
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:12,700
Did you find it?
That was the case.
158
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:14,700
When the covid craziness just
started.
159
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:17,900
I'm curious.
If the shift is social messaging
160
00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:20,800
in social messaging happen, as
quickly as everything else.
161
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,800
You'll replace that not really
here in Canada.
162
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,000
It was about the the sort, it
was about the sort of clear
163
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,900
simple messages like we get
Leadership wants to started to
164
00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:35,299
drag on is when we started
looking for feel good messages,
165
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:39,799
Diana replies from a marketing
standpoint that seems like a
166
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,600
little chaotic than it could
have happened.
167
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,799
Then he could have been duly
replies.
168
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,900
I mean, it's a different.
It is it's different for
169
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:50,100
province and even region.
So it's still pretty chaotic,
170
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,700
but overall message of Stay Stay
Stay Stay Safe, stay in and
171
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:57,000
thank you is pretty standard.
Yeah.
172
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,200
I think that's a very Canadian
thing.
173
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,800
They are very very nice.
And polite bunch of people.
174
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,400
So yeah going on to question 3
and in terms of like yeah
175
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,000
current error.
So this is going to be our last
176
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,700
one hands of the current Arrow
things question 3 goes are you
177
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:17,100
testing ad copy more less or
about the same as pre-pandemic
178
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:19,400
times.
If you're Candace has candids,
179
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:23,400
kadence has changed.
Why has it changed again?
180
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,300
Are you testing out copy more
less or about the same as
181
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:31,200
previous.
Pandemic times, if Kadence has
182
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,600
changed.
Why has it changed over?
183
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,100
Who gets it to that?
We've got and we accrued replied
184
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:40,700
to to same focus on things.
You can improve translators
185
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:43,900
information is resonating.
Well for me, I'll Chase replies.
186
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:47,000
I have not had more or less
success with ad copy around
187
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,400
covid, but I would think if I
had more local business versus
188
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,500
online e-commerce retail, it
would one exception is shipping.
189
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:56,400
Some are slow.
If you can get things to
190
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,300
customers, let them know open
available Etc.
191
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:02,100
Then going on to answer and
question 3.
192
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:04,100
We've got Mark Kennedy going
right now.
193
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:07,900
The kadence is dictated by the
situation, closed opening soon
194
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,200
open now.
So different regions are
195
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,600
Industries have different
immediate ad copy needs changes
196
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,400
fast, and we're replies to that
as well saying honestly, more
197
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,000
trying to honestly more trying
to figure out what resonates
198
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
better with each audience,
understanding that things are
199
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,800
quickly changing on all
environments and verticals.
200
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:32,000
Julia replies saying a bit less.
We're not getting good data from
201
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,900
test anyway, because we're all
weirdly emotional.
202
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:38,900
So it's a matter of simplifying,
Julie replies to that as well
203
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:41,400
saying probably about the same
for ad copy changes.
204
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,300
Although, I am seeing a bigger
range between this works.
205
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:47,200
And wow.
This is not working in the past
206
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,500
two months, especially on social
guess that's a good thing.
207
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:53,000
Because yeah, you know, by using
different messages, you really
208
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,700
want to know what is working and
stick to improving performances
209
00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:59,600
and just cutting out the wastage
ad copy.
210
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,400
And then we've got azim reply to
question 3 going about the same.
211
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,600
There's a lot of uncertainty in
pretty much every vertical and
212
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,300
seen and that's heavily impacted
impact him on sight and
213
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:14,700
convergent Behavior.
A lot of variables from me to
214
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:19,400
trust results.
If a testing increased and then
215
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,800
we've got Tom, Jordan Stark
replied question threesome.
216
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,000
I'm testing ad copy about the
same Pace.
217
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,400
I have a rhythm I get into and
I've kept to my schedule.
218
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,600
Nice.
It's always good to have a
219
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,200
schedule.
I'll Chase.
220
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:33,700
Question. 3, saying, I have to
say less testing, you really
221
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:37,700
have to have a control to test
and we don't know when this will
222
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:39,500
all be over.
Yeah, I can imagine.
223
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:42,500
So, she been messaging is being
tested.
224
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:46,400
However, and pivoting due to
Consumer demands for particular
225
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,700
products.
Puzzles Etc.
226
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:51,600
Yeah, I can imagine all those,
like, products of bringing
227
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,500
people together and we're in
family together.
228
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:55,600
We'll be doing really well right
now.
229
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,300
Ryan bennion replies to
question.
230
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:59,600
Three, same testing has been
more.
231
00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:05,000
Through Dynamic ads, I'll set up
ten variations of an ad and let
232
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,300
the algorithm do the work to
choose what will resonate most
233
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:11,700
with the audience after that.
I then use the winners after a
234
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:16,000
good sample size of data is
shown and yeah, Diner agrees
235
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,400
through, they're saying that
smart.
236
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,600
I always liked that feature.
So yeah, Dynamic ads can be
237
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,700
good.
But some, depending on the
238
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:25,000
product and depending on the
company and the brand, a
239
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,100
advertising for my client is our
is a finance clients.
240
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:31,800
Yeah.
Today don't like
241
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,200
unpredictability in terms of
what ad copies that they could
242
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,300
be showing because that could go
against compliance and have real
243
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:43,600
hot loads of high risk issues.
And then Julie goes on to
244
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,500
question.
Forcing.
245
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:48,100
Where do you find inspiration
for ad copy?
246
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,300
Julia?
Good jumps into this to Julia
247
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:53,600
voice replies.
I start with the website for the
248
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,400
car for the curve, uvp.
So Cara.
249
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,100
Yeah.
Unique viewpoint.
250
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,400
When I look around for strong
messages around the same topic
251
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,800
sometimes from outside the
industry, Julie replies.
252
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,600
I'm a big proponent of manual
searches to view competitor, and
253
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,900
I like to know what our target,
folks are likely seen, so I can
254
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:17,600
make as that stand out.
The Facebook ad library is a
255
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,500
fantastic resource to see what
other business are doing there,
256
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,300
too.
I've got Ryan bennion replying
257
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:27,500
to a question for as well.
Same Facebook ad library is big
258
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:29,600
for me.
We also have an ad creative
259
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,200
Channel.
On our slack that we upload
260
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,100
creative, we thought was
impressive.
261
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,000
I also a member of a few
Facebook groups including social
262
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,400
Savannah's Facebook group only
group.
263
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,400
She does Facebook, creative only
group.
264
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,100
She does a great job small fee
with it.
265
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,500
And then we've got more, Kennedy
replied.
266
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:51,800
Question forcing First Look is
landing page, then competitor
267
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,300
sites ads and the wild good
ideas posted on blogs or in PPC
268
00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:59,600
cat, but sometimes the best
ideas come from brainstorming
269
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,300
with Hence, salespeople are
great as they can get the most
270
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:06,700
as they get the most pushback
cost timings Etc.
271
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:11,300
So, they are great source.
As in replies saying one place,
272
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:14,700
I'd suggest forums Q&A sites.
Your customers.
273
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:18,100
Are they talking about their
concerns worries?
274
00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:22,200
So, yeah, actually, I'd suggest
forums Q&A sites.
275
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,800
Your customers are.
They're talking about their
276
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,000
concerns or worries, if you can
create content and compelling
277
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,700
copy that answers those.
Helps them, you've won the
278
00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:33,700
click.
Yes, and even won a customer
279
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:36,400
back that you might have lost
otherwise.
280
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:38,800
And then we've got a LTS
replying to question.
281
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,100
Forcing.
One of my favorite places to
282
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:42,400
look for.
Copy inspiration.
283
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,000
Is within the reviews.
Yaps.
284
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,300
Another one.
Back in the hole.
285
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:50,100
Look, look at reviews to inspire
and copy and then we've got a
286
00:14:50,108 --> 00:14:53,600
Michael Yeager replying to a
question forcing.
287
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,600
I do a lot of competitor
research, and I get a lot of
288
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,700
inspiration by asking my client
sales team.
289
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:02,800
A lot of Questions about how
things are going on there and
290
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:05,700
they know their business best
and especially know the needs of
291
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:09,400
the clients best.
So I often pivot there and then
292
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,100
we've got some Julie between
replying to L Chase.
293
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,100
Well chases.
One of my favorite places to
294
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:17,500
look for copy inspiration.
Is within reviews during Julie
295
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,100
replies.
I was just going to say this
296
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:21,000
too.
If the website has a search
297
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,200
feature on it, you can get some
great insights on what people
298
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,800
want to know from that in
analytics to.
299
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,100
So yes, that's another great
resource.
300
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,700
For that.
And then we've got really going
301
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:35,900
on question facing our their ad
copy test that you want to run
302
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:39,800
but have not been able to.
Why were you not able to do the
303
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,200
testing you wanted?
And yeah, and that's when I type
304
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,100
in with some answers here and my
biggest frustration is right
305
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:52,000
now, we're trying to get the
client to do RSA and and it's
306
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
just been very difficult because
yeah, very on a responsive with
307
00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:59,900
approval because yeah, it's
something we can do if they
308
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:03,000
actually Thing we've already
dipped into and they just don't
309
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
have enough headlines.
We have, you can have up to 11
310
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,600
headlines.
They provided me with two or
311
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,200
three and I'm like, guys there's
opportunity for lots more and
312
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,700
there's lots of things that you
can be.
313
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:16,100
There can be said and the
headline so yeah, definitely.
314
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,600
Yeah, no definitely something
that a missed opportunity that
315
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,700
we're seeing right now.
And I'm like, really not sure
316
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:28,000
that even that the excuse of
being too busy is is something
317
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,200
that they can use at this moment
things.
318
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:32,600
I'm not really too busy at the
moment.
319
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,300
Jordan Stark.
They'll reply to question
320
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:36,500
forcing.
I really like to look at what
321
00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:39,700
has performed best in the past
long side or competitors are
322
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:43,000
doing to try and put a new spin
on it or to see if it can be
323
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,100
improved.
I find my colleagues are really
324
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:50,000
good sources of ideas as well.
Yes more brains the better our
325
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,500
Kennedy replied question
fighting for some clients your
326
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:55,900
testing within this situation.
Not also you're still testing
327
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,900
but not like normal and a change
in the state opening.
328
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:02,500
It.
It's opening could end the test
329
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:05,700
early and your Crews replies to
question.
330
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:07,900
Five.
I'm saying not really looking to
331
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:11,800
see what other seem maybe that I
can't can't promote hand
332
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,300
sanitizer.
North face masks.
333
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,099
And then Julie goes on to
question.
334
00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:19,000
Six saying, what is your process
for creating new ad copy?
335
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:21,599
Do you do a bunch of full ads at
a time?
336
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:25,099
Create a lot of components?
You can mix match something
337
00:17:25,099 --> 00:17:27,400
else.
I answer to them answers.
338
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,200
That is creating a lot of
components.
339
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,200
You can mix and match And I
think what I do try to do is
340
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,100
when I create them, I create
more than I need.
341
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:38,500
So obviously, I am stick by the
best practice of creating a
342
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:42,300
having about three or four ad
copy by proposed about maybe
343
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:45,400
five or six ad copies, you know,
for each ad group.
344
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:50,100
So that I have backups to test
when I want to do testing on,
345
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:53,200
don't have to go through the
whole long waiting approval
346
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,600
process with the client.
Again, Julia voice replies.
347
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,700
Question, 16.
I like me a rubric.
348
00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:04,900
Search of versus brand or offer
versus secondary message versus
349
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:08,400
or brand set up the components
you want to test and the main
350
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,400
message, the clients want to
emphasize much easier to write
351
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,400
within to write within some
guidelines.
352
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:18,600
And then we've got LTS replying
to question 6 going on.
353
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:21,800
I go through the ads.
I find the ones not doing well.
354
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,800
Ctrs conversions Etc from there.
You can see if you want to test
355
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,600
a different landing page or
copy.
356
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,100
There is just so much to look
at.
357
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,000
When it comes to the ads and
what could be driving
358
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,900
engagement?
Jewelry.
359
00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:36,100
Applies.
Question, 16.
360
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:38,600
I have been doing more
components lately with some
361
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,300
example ads, getting a bunch of
stuff approved and having the
362
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:46,100
flexibility to mix-and-match
create variations has made life
363
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,500
easier for me.
Yes.
364
00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:51,000
I need that's that's the kind of
thing I do and I need to do more
365
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,200
of that.
And then we've got Julia Vice
366
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,800
replying to that or what Julie
has just said about.
367
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,300
Yeah getting a bunch of stuff
approved and having the
368
00:18:58,308 --> 00:19:01,900
flexibility to mix and match.
Angela voice replies so much
369
00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:04,900
easier for our essays and to
swap between search and social.
370
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:08,300
Find those key headlines that
perform as Amigos.
371
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:12,200
Plus one on, that was surprised
by a pre coded, our essay tests
372
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:14,600
that showed a last-minute
addition to the list of
373
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,800
headlines before going live
managed girl.
374
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,000
I've managed to outperform, the
rest goes to show assumptions on
375
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,400
data, headlines may not always
be true.
376
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:27,800
So to repeat that he was like
was surprised by pre-curved.
377
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,100
It is a test that showed a
last-minute.
378
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,300
In addition to the list of
headlines before going live
379
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:37,000
managed to outperform, the rest
goes to show assumptions on
380
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,900
data.
Headlines may not always be
381
00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:41,700
true.
So yes, let the day to talk for
382
00:19:41,708 --> 00:19:43,900
itself.
Do not assume at all.
383
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:46,500
Doug are Thomas replaced
question. 6 a, my current
384
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:50,200
workflow is very cumbersome.
My make three ads for every ad
385
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,500
group and then duplicate the one
I like the best for a dynamic
386
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:54,900
keyword insertion.
Add.
387
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,800
I'm working on how to make our
essays work better in that
388
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,100
method and I'd love to be more
competent.
389
00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:04,800
Focus for it to be quicker.
Some replies, question 5 going a
390
00:20:04,808 --> 00:20:08,000
most clients are quite open to
just about anything, but for
391
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,800
those few that aren't, it's
usually because either a legal
392
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,200
regulatory gets in the way
buzzkills be Google, doesn't let
393
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,200
us do certain things with
audiences or see some
394
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,600
integration breaks and then Ryan
bennion replies to question. 6
395
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,900
thing when the Creative Juice
is, isn't flowing, you crank it
396
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:30,300
out.
Oh, when the Creative Juice, It
397
00:20:30,300 --> 00:20:33,400
is Flowing, you crank it out for
me.
398
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,100
It's all about a good playlist
and a blank Google doc after
399
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:40,200
some brainstorming via ad
library and different channels
400
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,000
than I just write everything
down that comes to my head and
401
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,100
build from there.
And then you continues going.
402
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:50,000
I like to get all new ads up at
once.
403
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,200
So after I've done that initial
brainstorm, I'm ready to start
404
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,400
fine tuning and testing then I
launch all the ads for the week.
405
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,100
At once.
I try to refresh 15% of AD
406
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:03,000
running each week.
Rotate through and then, yeah,
407
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Julie goes on to question.
Seven saying, what is your
408
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,400
biggest frustration with
creating ad copy?
409
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:11,300
Yeah, definitely the clients and
definitely clients to that
410
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:16,900
holding back in terms of
approval or just the questions
411
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:20,700
that they ask has to, you know,
why converts why something is
412
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:24,700
doing something differently.
And yeah, I remember there was
413
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,500
recently, we had a client that
kept saying that vertical line
414
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:30,100
between the headlines between
like headlong one, two, and
415
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,800
Three.
Can we remove it?
416
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,500
And we like, yeah, sure.
We'll just get Google ads on it.
417
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:39,100
Literally, it was just so many
face palms for that one.
418
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,500
Anyway, going on to our answers
for this Mark Kennedy reply
419
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:46,100
saying one more character
getting the third headline to
420
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:49,100
show can be a pain.
Sometimes you have to shoot in
421
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:51,200
all three.
I also would love to control
422
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,600
which or when ad extensions
combo show.
423
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:57,700
I'm also also want to see some
of my image extensions in the
424
00:21:57,700 --> 00:22:00,100
wild testing them.
Now small.
425
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,100
Julia voice replies.
Yeah, feedback committee.
426
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:07,200
Hands down.
I need feedback from the client,
427
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,800
not seven departments, and the
CMO not the legal team and the
428
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,900
entire product management group
designate a person and lest,
429
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:16,400
let's chat.
Definitely.
430
00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:17,300
Yes.
Streamlined.
431
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:20,700
That makeup is from one person.
Julie replies.
432
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:23,700
My personal frustration is on
days when I just can't come up
433
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:26,300
with the good stuff.
It also drives me nuts when
434
00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:30,100
clients are prove something and
then someone else weighs in on.
435
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,700
On their end and approval gets
revoked, or changed annoying.
436
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,400
And then dug our Thomas replies.
So few kinds have a grasp of
437
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,900
what their USB is.
And I don't know if that's
438
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:43,600
because of the telephone game
from client to sales to accounts
439
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,300
to implementation, or maybe it's
just that folks are too focused
440
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:50,300
on doing good.
Work to examine how they do the
441
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:54,300
good works.
And then yeah, we go on to our
442
00:22:54,300 --> 00:23:00,100
last question of the day
question 8, where Julie asks, if
443
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,000
Could change something about the
platform's rules or limitation
444
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,700
on ad copy.
What, what would it be?
445
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,700
And why did I have an answer
that?
446
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:10,400
Yeah.
Well I said, I apart from the
447
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,800
obvious quick approval times
from clients.
448
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:17,500
Yeah, that under review status
sign that, that that gets put up
449
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:20,300
when you upload an ad copy.
I want that to be removed a lot
450
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:22,300
quicker.
It just gets close to panic and
451
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:25,300
just always questioning like, is
my ad showing and then start
452
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:28,800
doing searches that screw up our
data, which, you know, we do not
453
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,900
need especially right now.
Now and then we go on to
454
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:35,800
answering question 7 watch where
Michelle get Yeager reply, super
455
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,800
frustrated with the third,
Google headline, really showing
456
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:42,300
and with Google's push to try to
get everyone using it without
457
00:23:42,300 --> 00:23:45,900
the content that it most likely
won't show.
458
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:49,200
And then yeah, Julie replies,
question, 18.
459
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,600
I'm extra frustrated right now
with the ads that are not on the
460
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,100
wrong side of any policy,
getting swept up in disapproval
461
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:59,500
algorithms and no clear
indication of what the offending
462
00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:02,900
part.
Or is I'll Chase goes back to
463
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:04,700
you.
I'm applying question 7, saying
464
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:07,400
the biggest frustration would be
for brands that are big.
465
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,700
Sometimes the sign-off process
is first says, is such a
466
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:14,600
hindrance to creating any test.
Seems like a 42 people, seems
467
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,700
like 42, people need to give the
approval at times.
468
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,700
And then, before we round up,
I'll give a few more answers.
469
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:25,400
Well, Chase goes getting
disapproved, but not being able
470
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,600
to reach someone with an actual
brain to manually review that
471
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,000
adds.
Sorry the frustration.
472
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:33,500
Is real.
Sometimes Jordan Stark replies
473
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:35,300
saying I'm in agreement with
this one.
474
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:37,300
I can't think of anything worse
than my ads.
475
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:39,400
Getting disapproved For No Good
Reason.
476
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:42,600
Oh, actually, maybe when I get
them manually, reviewed and
477
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,200
approved and then a few months
later, the same ads are
478
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,800
disapproved again.
Yes, I've had that happen that
479
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,400
is very annoying and really wish
Google will stop that or at
480
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,500
least warn us, what has changed?
Because a lot of the time, it's
481
00:24:55,500 --> 00:25:01,900
nothing in the ad copy content.
So anyway, That's some that the
482
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:05,000
arch at for today.
It was like a trying to go
483
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,200
through a lot of the answers
quite quickly, not to waste any
484
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,200
time because there were loads of
