Winner creatives lifetime
Hey guys, I've been noticing an interesting pattern and was wondering if anyone saw that with their ads as well. So we're testing our creatives in ABO and after a week or so once we identify a winner we usually move it to our ADV+ scaling campaing. A lot of the times the winners from ABO don't really get a lot of spend there, as there are some other creatives that are better spenders. Sometimes however we find a winner creative that's really crushing all parameters; Spend & KPIs. The thing I noticed is however, once I add a winner ad like that to the scaling campaign, for the first couple of days the performance of the campaign goes crazy, best spend, best KPIs, etc. After a few days, weeks, ... depending on the creative, the campaign just starts performing bad. As if it milked all the juice out of this creative. The problem is that the creative is still taking up 90% of the spend in the campaign that's our top spender, which of course could mean problems for overall performance. The abo ad sets that have this creative also start to decline in results when I add it to the scaling campaign btw. BTW, we're noticing this a lot in ADV+ that most of the time one creative will take majority of the budget even if it's performance isn't really good in the last period of time. ADV is really a black box for me, forcing me to really just go with my instincts a lot of the time when optimising. What I've been doing so far is turning it off in the scaling campaign after a couple days of consecutive bad results and trying to turn it back on after a while and monitor what's happening. I'm not really the biggest fan of this however as it basically causes us to lose a great performing creative. I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with something similar and how you go about optimising and scaling your winner creatives to prolong the time they perform good for you. I was thinking maybe: - turning on multiple winner creatives at once and having them battle for the best performance - prolonging the testing period and adding it after a higher spend in the abo - sticking with turning it off after a day or 2 of bad results and then turning it back on after a while and rotating the previous winners like that - keeping them on while the results are good then switching to a new winner.
