This required building trust in new tools, educating the client on quality control, and demonstrating how AI could enhance creativity rather than replace authenticity.
• Expanding Content Formats for Engagement: Encouraging the brand to explore varied content types beyond familiar formats, such as lifestyle moments, storytelling, and engagement-driven posts, was a gradual process. Each new format was introduced strategically, supported by performance insights and audience response.
• Adapting to Meta’s Andromeda Update: The transition from the legacy ad management setup to Meta’s Andromeda update required clear communication and expectation-setting. Helping the client understand the changes in campaign structure, reporting, and optimization logic was essential to maintaining confidence in paid media performance
