Key Takeaways: Custom targeting is a game changer Use geo-targeting, competitive conquesting, and location data to find the right users in the right places. Don't skip pre-campaign planning Understand your audience before hitting "go." Market research, demographic insights, and clear campaign goals will make your optimizations easier. Campaigns need love at every stage Georgia walks us through before, during, and after campaign strategies using a real-world example: a nationwide Canadian campaign. Automation is your friend Move beyond manual work—Draco's tools help simplify complex decisions. Talk to your clients! Clear communication and alignment on KPIs = smoother campaign execution and better results.
