A brand we've been growing for 1 1/2 years. Added $4M last year, on pace to add another $5M this year. Consistent, steady growth. They are family-owned and have been around for 20+ years. They barely run BFCM specials. I like traditional, established brands. Flashy

I'm Leaking Our $2M/Month Ad Creatives (My clients might fire me for this) You’d be surprised how simple some of them are. We’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on each of them. And used them to scale a health brand from 600k -> 2m/mo. The creative agency mafia

Do you know how fb ads work? Well it’s an auction, which means theres one winner. The winner is the one with the highest total value. And Total value = Bid x Estimated action rate x Ad quality. So 3 factors influence the total value. The bid is the amount an advertiser is
