Been thinking about writing this for a long time because many advertisers treat social video and PPC video the same.
They are not!
Different platforms, intents, and formats require different creative strategies.

Event ads don’t get enough credit. Webinar or launch coming up? Run it like an event, not a line item.

I share how to make them count in an article for @sejournal.bsky.social

AI is a tool and my thinking partner.
Not to hand over strategy, but to ask questions, find mistakes, move faster.

The best results come when I bring my experience and AI together.
