EP236 - Q5 - What Did We See and Learn

EP236 - Q5 - What Did We See and Learn

#ppcchat Twitter discussion that runs on Tuesdays at 5pm GMT - Led by Julie Bacchini (@NeptuneMoon)


Q1 We talked about strategies for Q5 back in late November, but I will ask again - are you familiar with the term “Q5”?

Q2 Did you do anything special for Q5 2022 (defined as the period from Dec 25 to Dec 31)?

Q3 Is the Q5 time typically a busy time for the brands you work with? And in what industry/industries are you working?

Q4 Did you see or learn anything in Q5 2022 that was interesting and/or unexpected?

Q5 Are any Q5 2022 strategies being carried into Q1 2023? If so why and if not, why not?

Q6 What’s coming up for your brands in early 2023? Anything new you’re planning to test or hoping you get the chance to test?

Thank you for listening!

December 25th.
And January, 1st of what you do

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,900
in terms of advertising, where
people have, you know, open up

10
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:38,700
their presents.
I thinking of exchanging it or

11
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,500
people have gotten gift cards or
money for Christmas and, you

12
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:46,500
know, how to best Target them to
ensure that.

13
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:50,800
Yeah, your products gets old so
it's very much a retail heavy

14
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:53,400
period of time.
Where brands are thinking there

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,300
yet the years not out in terms
of activity and where there

16
00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:59,800
could be opportunity for spend
and return.

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,200
On investment.

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,700

did any activity during that

19
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:10,500

41
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,700
So today, yeah, we've got Julie
taken us on a great topic and I

42
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:33,100
feel little bit self-serving to
say was a great topic because

43
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:35,700
earlier today, Julie asked what
should we talk about today?

44
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:40,100
And I advised that we talked
about, you know, Q5 performance

45
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:43,600
and how that went.
So, yeah, I came up with a great

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,500
topic, but we should chat about
today.

47
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:49,500
Yeah, Julie goes.
Hello, thank you for joining.

48
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,000
Today, first, how are we doing?
And so yeah, we got a fair few

49
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
joiners although quite a few
locked as well as myself because

50
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,500
I don't do Hands-On paid search
management anymore.

51
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,800
Not many of my clients really
fell into this category and many

52
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,500
have B2B clients at Marin.
So yeah it was very much more of

53
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:12,400
me trying to get information
from the industry or get our

54
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,100
experts to talk about something
that they're doing and seeing

55
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,000
how that works for other
marketers.

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,100
Not necessarily Share my own
personal experience, so

57
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:24,800
apologies for that, that I
didn't particularly have much to

58
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,600
share on this chat.
But many people did Fraser

59
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:31,100
joined us here.
Who says he's tired and he's new

60
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:33,100

00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,400

I said, I'm doing good.

00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,800
Still trying to switch on for
this year, by do have high hopes

65
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,600

Ache might not hang all the way
but wanted to kick off the new

71
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:04,000
Someone's has already said that

72
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,300
Sudol, covid stuff still out

doing great today.
New year, new, whether yeah,

76
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,500
that's a that's one phrase.
I've not heard of yet, silly.

77
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:22,800
Lots of with a PSA as usual
saying before we get to

78
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,500
questions, this chat is intended
for PPC, Professionals of all

79
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:28,600
levels.
If you have something you want

80
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,200
to share, please do we are a
friendly and supportive

81
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,400
community, and please don't be
afraid to participate luck.

82
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,800
As are, of course.
Always welcome to.

83
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:41,000
He also reminds us that we do
have a PC acronym page.

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,700
So if you go to official PPC
chat.com /p p c, hyphen

85
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:49,500
acronyms, you can find out what
people are talking.

86
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,800
About and no one needs to know
you looked it up.

87
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,300
So yes because official PPC,
chat don't come forward slash

88
00:04:56,300 --> 00:05:00,900
PPC, Dash acronyms.
So yeah he takes us on to

89
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,600
question one saying we talked
about strategies for Q5 back in

90
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,200
November but I will ask again.
Are you familiar with the term,

91
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,900
Q5?
I learnt it from the last

92
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:13,700
chapter that we did about Q5 and
the performance.

93
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:18,000
During that time, Julie herself
goes, I was not familiar with

94
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,100
the term which is defined As the
period between December 25th and

95
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:25,200
31st before our chat in
November.

96
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:28,200
And this goes, oh, I see, it's
definitely a very different time

97
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:32,500
promotion wise than the time up
until 24th.

98
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:34,600
Yes, very much.
So, it is why I was a very

99
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,300
interesting topic.
Do you live ice goes familiar,

100
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:39,500
but it's not in wide, use around
me.

101
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,300
Technically right now, it's Q4
for public sector.

102
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:46,200
And as response saying, guessing
it is one that comes after Q for

103
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,800
making us.
Think about continuty and

104
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,200
consequence.
It's for example, use goes, I

105
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,500
get it, but it makes me cringe.
Every time I use it, like, when

106
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:57,900
I use the words touch base.
Diana goes I heard of it but

107
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:00,100
never used it.
Gil gonna goes.

108
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:04,000
Yes, Q5 is my favorite time of
the year for PPC.

109
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,000
So Judith and Texas on to
question 2.

110
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,100
There are six questions today.
So, yeah, I felt she wanted to

111
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,000
quickly, get through them.
You know, make sure we fit all

112
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,900
of them in and we get some good
answers for all the questions.

113
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:19,000
Julie goes for question 2
saying, did you do anything

114
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
special Q 5 2002 defined as the
period between December 25th and

115
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,200
December 31st Gil goes.
We have a large account which

116
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,900
knocks it out of the park every
time every year after Christmas.

117
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:34,500
Outperforms Black Friday Cyber
Monday.

118
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:38,200
Every time this year it was
around six hundred percent

119
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,300
rowers and around two times
Revenue.

120
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:43,100
Year on year, we worked hard on
this one.

121
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:46,500
Wow, those are some amazing
numbers and is goes done.

122
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:49,400
A lot of event focused campaigns
during 2022.

123
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,700
To Prime days back to school.
Black Friday we set up a

124
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:56,500
three-phase strategy, each time
built audience, boost budget and

125
00:06:56,500 --> 00:07:00,100
conversion retarget Peak
audience, Q5.

126
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,600
And I have to admit three didn't
work for us.

127
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:06,600
Yeah, Julie goes where you using
audiences.

128
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,300
That you uploaded customer mad,
for example, audiences built by

129
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:15,500
Google ads or Google analytics.
So yeah, that depends Julia

130
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:18,100
voice goes.
Yes, we did that particular week

131
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:21,500
is very big for return.
And shopping for New Year's Eve.

132
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,100
If you have Retail Partners turn
returns into upsells and if you

133
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:31,000
have liquor Partners, pop them
bottles before the 31st phase

134
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Andrews goes.
Yeah.

135
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,400
A lot of automation this year,
as the team was offered During

136
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,700
the period and Sharon rules and
scripts were in place, and that

137
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:42,400
we had processes to check in
over the period without checking

138
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,300
everything daily Julie goes
nice.

139
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:48,400
Did you use any tools for this
as well or only rules and

140
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,500
scripts in?
Forms Fraser goes only in

141
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:53,700
platform.
Scripts wise have been making

142
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:58,700
use of meals regimens SCA,
that's Neil's region and his

143
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:01,800
Mega scriptlets there.
He's all about the scripts of

144
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,100
the Fantastic resource to as
well as his newsletter.

145
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:09,300
Jillian and answers question to
say and I did not do anything

146
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:11,800
differently.
During the Q5 period for the

147
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,600
Brand's, I work with, but I'm
doing all lead gen right now.

148
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:17,400
Ashton clock replies to
question.

149
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,100
One saying, I was generally
familiar That time of year for

150
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:25,300
advertisers but didn't know of
the specific term Q5 until

151
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:28,600
November's PPC, chat.
And then we have a system clock

152
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,500
responding to question, 2 same.
Since most of my clients, I in

153
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:34,799
the B2B space or are focused on
lead generation.

154
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,299
Q5 was very quiet and we didn't
run any special ads campaigns

155
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,000
Etc.
Sarah Steelman as well response

156
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,600
to question to say, and I would
say just making sure all our

157
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,100
essays are set with all
headlines, leaning more into

158
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:51,000
automation, which was scary for
some clients.

159
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,100
He asks, Leah, automation
leaning.

160
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:55,300
Too much is automation.
Especially Google automation,

161
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:58,700
can be, scaring Dannelly know is
well response to question to

162
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,500
say, no, we did not have any
special campaigns for this

163
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:03,700
period.
Also, we did impose anything and

164
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:07,800
surprisingly, we had a very good
December in terms of performance

165
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,600
better than October.
For instance, I got a little bit

166
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,800
confused with that answer
because she was like, yeah, we

167
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,000
didn't have any special
campaigns but we didn't impose

168
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,900
anything.
So technically you did have

169
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:20,900
stuff life for the Q5 period but
I As she's talking, my not

170
00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:24,800
anything, that was specially,
created for the Q5 period.

171
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,400
They're just their continued
campaigns and levels of

172
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,900
optimization pre Q5 and we have
Tim Heller and responding to

173
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:32,600
question 2 saying for a few
clients.

174
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,300
We scaled back and did less
spend for one client, we

175
00:09:35,308 --> 00:09:39,000
expanded the abandoned cart
campaign to 90 days to increase,

176
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,800
new customer orders before
end-of-year both approaches

177
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,400
worked for different use cases.
Nothing too fancy though.

178
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,900
And really goes, great to see
you here today to We are happy

179
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:51,800
to be here.
I'm going to make New Year,

180
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,900
resolutions, participate more
where and when I can I always

181
00:09:54,900 --> 00:10:00,200
leave these PVC chats refreshed
or at a minimum validated lovely

182
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,900
and then we have Julie taken us
on to question 3 saying is the

183
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:07,300
Q5 time typically a busy time
for the Brand's you work with

184
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:11,200
and in what industry or
Industries are you working?

185
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,400
Sarah goes.
Yes, not only is it busy from a

186
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,300
performance standpoint, but for
planning as well.

187
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,400
Making sure we roll up learning
report.

188
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:23,600
It's into next year's plan Gil.
Gonna respond saying, it's dead

189
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,100
for many of our clients,
especially Texas recruitment

190
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:30,200
type stuff, but it's always
slammed for e-commerce or

191
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,000
retailers.
Our biggest clients are usually

192
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,400
in some form of e-commerce or
retailers during that time, yes,

193
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,900
that's the Brand's.
I feel will work out the most

194
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:43,800
Julie goes no, for the Q5 period
is typically not a busy or

195
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,500
high-interest period for the
Brand's.

196
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:49,700
I work with, I do lead gen for
B2B and b2c and this is Oz

197
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:53,600
question 3, I have had Biz in
the past where it was a busy

198
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,500
week HVAC and plumbing with
Emergency Services needs.

199
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,600
But not with the mix right now.
And Sarah goes, oh, it's

200
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,600
freezing temps.
It was definitely an HVAC

201
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,100
Plumbing, busy time in Ohio, and
then Diana Elena response to

202
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:10,100
question 3 saying I'm working
for SAS.

203
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:14,100
And this time of the year isn't
usually too busy for us.

204
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:15,900
Julia voice response to question
3 saying.

205
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:21,100
Yes, this is a big week in the
retail And and alcohol space.

206
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:24,200
In some cases.
You want a particular budget for

207
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,600
that week but mostly it's offers
and reminders creative and then

208
00:11:28,608 --> 00:11:31,700
we have Sarah responded to
question 3 saying yes not only

209
00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:35,800
is it busy from a performance
standpoint but for planning as

210
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,500
well.
Making sure we wrote up learning

211
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:42,300
reports into the next year's
plans Tim Heller and response

212
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,500
question 3 scene right now is
the busy part of the second half

213
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:49,400
of Q 5 and beginning of Q 1
which is the same thing.

214
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,600
Lee lots of beginning of year
strategy, Noob is starting

215
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
January and New Year sales, Etc
Industries, e-comm retail

216
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,100
software brick-and-mortar Health
Specialists and little higher ed

217
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:04,200
tomb.
So yeah, right there with you,

218
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,500
Sarah, go.
So, yeah, Q5 and early q1 kind

219
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:09,100
of rolls off with a similar
strategy.

220
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:12,900
Do you find that to be the same?
I think, loggers know, for B2B a

221
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,800
lead gen, which is the major T
of our clients.

222
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,700
We keep as running with the same
level of budget so that we Still

223
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:23,000
capture any searches.
But overall, Q5 tends to be

224
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,800
pretty quiet, all around and
then continues.

225
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,200
I should specify that from a
client and performance

226
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,900
perspective, it's fairly quiet.
So I agency also does a lot of

227
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:37,200
planning on updating internal
processes during Q5 instead and

228
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,500
Melissa goes same here for our
B2B clients yes that's a good

229
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:46,300
time to put processes in place
the quiet time at the end of Q4.

230
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,300
And then Julie then takes us on
to question 4.

231
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:52,500
Did you see or learn anything in
Q5?

232
00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:58,000
2002 that was interesting.
And, or expected, Barry Smith

233
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,900
response to that.
Same, people have been more

234
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:02,900
interested in health insurance
over the Christmas and New Year

235
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,200
than any previous month,
Christmas day, being one of the

236
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,100
most popular days of the years.
As Judy says, I find that very

237
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:13,600
interesting at Villa response.
Question for saying it was much

238
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,300
quieter this year with sales
than in Prior years, there are

239
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:21,700
home based product client
account Where we focused on lead

240
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,900
gen as their sales team is
involved.

241
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:27,600
Had their best week of the year
during Q5 cpc's.

242
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,600
Dropped 41% from prior weeks and
our budgets went further Gil.

243
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,600
Gil me respond saying, yeah,
Canadians love, boxing week and

244
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,100
buy everything.
Yes, so do the UK as well.

245
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:42,200
Greenbaum responsi sales were
really awful this year.

246
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,400
Lots of people staying home or
not shopping.

247
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,600
Compared to past boxing days.
In some cases, way better deals

248
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,000
during black Friday this year,
Gil goes interesting, our

249
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,400
Canadian client knocked it out
of the park.

250
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,000
This year, probably 25% higher
sales than Black Friday must

251
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,800
just be Niche specific and
during those.

252
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,100
Yeah, when I said sales, I meant
the promotion's that brand were

253
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:07,100
Runnings.
When I went online or in store

254
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:10,600
for shops the deals Brands
offered, we're not as good as

255
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,900
black Fridays, or past sales as
a customer, so people were

256
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:18,200
shopping but not necessarily
because of the sales deals as

257
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,000
what I think, doing the same And
is in response to a question for

258
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,600
as well.
Saying that you, unless you have

259
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,200
a, particularly well-suited
commercial offering for that

260
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,300
period, I would use Q5 to save
some budget.

261
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,800
I have not seen benefits from
retargeting for e-commerce,

262
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,700
clients in that period boost
clients in dating and Fitness

263
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:40,400
Gear instead and then we have
Diana Elena responding to

264
00:14:40,408 --> 00:14:44,000
question, forcing not something
new but maybe it helps others

265
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,700
reading.
This people still search even if

266
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,300
it is Q5, the world doesn't
stop.

267
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:52,500
So be sure.
Sure to be present, Julie goes

268
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:55,300
interesting, take more time, on
phones with time off work.

269
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:59,300
Yes, Danna goes, people have
more time now to scroll, they

270
00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:02,500
won't necessarily buy off the
bat but you will be top of their

271
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:06,300
minds when the decision must be
made in the coming weeks and

272
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:09,900
Amanda Folly goes in response to
Diana when she said people will

273
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:14,300
search even if it is Q5 Amanda
goes, I second this as we still

274
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:19,100
see leads come in on holidays
even in B2B interesting.

275
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:21,100
So yeah, so basically Be
companies who are like, yep,

276
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:24,500
everyone's on holiday, let's not
do anything, you may be missing

277
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,700
out.
I mean Kappa response to

278
00:15:26,708 --> 00:15:28,900
question to say, no.
Most of our clients are lead

279
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:32,600
generation so we don't really
need to do anything special

280
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
during this time period to
question for stare esteem and

281
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,600
response.
Same the bind period brought

282
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,000
along some of the strongest
rowers periods during mid

283
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,700
December traffic is still
incredibly High through

284
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:47,400
Christmas but intends to
purchase is hard to predict.

285
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,700
It is risky to pull back in my
honest opinion Pinion Julie,

286
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:53,400
advise goes not really
unexpected, but very proud of my

287
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,600
team from the smooth week.
Nice to know that she's proud

288
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,100
and I'm Tim goes, that's always
the best smooth and predictable

289
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:05,100
is underrated, Julia goes?
Yeah, it's my favorite actually

290
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,900
and we have phrase Andrews
responding to question.

291
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:11,400
Forcing revenue of e-comm
Clarence was relatively High,

292
00:16:11,700 --> 00:16:15,100
having discussed with clients,
the consensus seems to be that

293
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:18,700
consumers are tending to spend
more due to the wider poor

294
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:22,200
economic climate.
Pending to forget their worries

295
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,600
are ya go?
Good night goes.

296
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,100
I think that's definitely true
with my no luxuries, which

297
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:29,300
always spikes during economic
woes.

298
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:33,900
IE beauty products and liquor.
Yeah, when I was leaving a

299
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:36,700
party, the other night unlikely,
New Year's Eve, New Year's Day,

300
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:39,400
I decided to buy Victoria
Beckham as eyeliner because I've

301
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,000
been seeing ads.
Oh God.

302
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,700
Secondly, so I was definitely a
sucker for that green brown

303
00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:48,400
response to question for seen,
at least for our book of Brands,

304
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,100
nothing new this year.
Our sales down compared to last

305
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:56,800
year, which was expected - the
clients who did better than last

306
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,000
year.
Ashton clock Response Team based

307
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,800
on what we saw throughout last
week.

308
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,800
Nothing really stood out in
terms of account performance,

309
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,000
other than some slightly lower
such volumes, he continues.

310
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,900
Also to be honest, I haven't had
a chance to really dig into Q5

311
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:14,900
performance yet, had to focus on
some campaign launches and new

312
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:18,800
team members starting today, but
will definitely be looking for

313
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,099
any major.
Chef's when I get to it.

314
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:24,700
So yes, we nose will look out
for that.

315
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,400
And answer the question for I
meet Cobra as well, answer

316
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,500
saying, not really.
I just because most folks are on

317
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:32,200
a break.
It doesn't mean that users

318
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,300
aren't searching so ensuring
we're still present is

319
00:17:35,300 --> 00:17:37,800
something.
I'd encourage most brands to do,

320
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,600
then you'll it takes us on to
question.

321
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,200
Five.
Seen are any Q5 2022.

322
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,500
Strategies being carried into q1
2023.

323
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:49,600
If so why and if not, why not go
answers?

324
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:51,700
Good five.
Same answer include five about

325
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:54,300
Q5, huh.
I've learned that the last week

326
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:57,500
of the year always has different
behaviors, so it doesn't always

327
00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:02,300
carry over into Jan or fehb.
And then you live ice response.

328
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:04,900
Question 5, say not from just
that one week.

329
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:07,100
No.
But any data in context does

330
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:11,800
help with future plans and goals
and we cover a response saying

331
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,500
no, not from Q5 since we're not
implementing any new strategies

332
00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:18,200
during that time period.
Sarah, steamer response.

333
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,800
Question 5, seen in some ways.
As we were more fluid, the past

334
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,600
month that is because having
spent a year working on top of

335
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,700
funnel.
The performance was there.

336
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:32,000
So hopefully, we can keep that
going and build over the next

337
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,600
year.
There are no response to

338
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,100
question five saying, I think
anything that performed well in

339
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:40,700
Q5 can be carried in q1 as well.
Unless of course, we talk about

340
00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:44,300
something that is time-bound to
that specific period and cannot

341
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:47,300
be extended.
Also, every learning should be

342
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:49,600
remembered for next Q5 to
improve.

343
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:52,500
Move the strategy.
And then Julie takes us on to

344
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:55,500
the last question of the chat
saying what's coming up for your

345
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:59,500
Brand's in early 2023, anything
new, you're planning to test or

346
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:04,500
hoping you get the chance to
test Gil response, question, 60.

347
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:07,600
They're saying we have some
brand scaling up some brand

348
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,900
scaling down, I think we're
going to see a lot of campaigns.

349
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:15,600
Tighten their belts and start
trimming the fat 2023 is not

350
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,200
going to be a great year
economically and advertisers are

351
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,400
going to Let and then we have
Julie advice responding to

352
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,000
questions sex scene.
It's Q4 for public sector.

353
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,600
So lots of a ramp up and big
spans for my other partners.

354
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:32,500
We're in planning an evergreen
mode.

355
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,900
And when Brown had responded to
question five, he said we end

356
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,600
all ideals on December 31st or
sooner otherwise really hard to

357
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,800
create any urgency.
Sarah goes, we did as well.

358
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,800
We capitalized on last day to
ship last day to save excetera

359
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,900
but overall I wish we change the
deals during the A full month of

360
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:55,200
sales versus the same sale for
the whole month with a brief

361
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,200
huge sale.
Black Friday Cyber Monday when

362
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,900
Brown goes Cuts changed their
copy and image, but it was the

363
00:20:01,900 --> 00:20:06,200
exact same cell for the full
month before Black Friday Cyber

364
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,900
Monday.
So yeah, some people just

365
00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:12,600
repeating their ads, Tim
Halloran response to question 6,

366
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,800
saying something.
I've been thinking about lately,

367
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,600
more out of Ott or top of funnel
and faster deployment.

368
00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:23,700
More testing of out-of-home top
of funnel more consistent

369
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:27,100
Evergreen retargeting on
Boutique social, like Korra

370
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,400
Reddit Twitter.
In terms of bottle of funnel

371
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,500
improving Clarity, in Google
ads, too much motion between

372
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:37,500
funnel confusion lately.
Sir, there was a little bit of

373
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:41,300
meat hesitating because team
used a lot of acronyms in this.

374
00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:45,000
But as we said, if you go to
official PPC, chat don't come to

375
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,100
PC, hyphen, acronyms, you'll
understand what all those

376
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:50,000
acronyms.
I mean, Sir.

377
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,300
Same and then goes and what
Julie Puccini said, keeping in

378
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:56,000
mind, the backdrop of the
economy is going to be

379
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,900
important.
Also for our clients, figuring

380
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:03,500
out how to test in this AI.
Environment is a new kind of

381
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:06,800
challenging.
So yeah, this isn't answer to

382
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,500
question 6.
In terms of what's upcoming for

383
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:14,000
brands in early 2023 doing
Brandon response to question

384
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,300
six.
Same, we will talk 2023 planning

385
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:18,900
with clients in our Jan

386
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:21,600
We have some Days, we will pitch
them as well.

387
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:25,000
I spent part of last week
thinking about clients and what

388
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:31,500
we want to do with them and yeah
that brings us to the end of our

389
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:35,100
chat here today without that
brings us the end to First chart

390
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:36,700
of 2023.
We're fully back.

391
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:39,600
