Challenge
Cow & Gate, a prominent UK baby food and milks brand, faced the challenge of managing and allocating budgets across their diverse lines of business effectively. Despite using campaign budget optimization on Facebook, the distribution was uneven, failing to align with business priorities. A new approach was necessary to regain control and ensure a balanced budget and visibility for each product line. The team employed Flashtalking Social Ads Manager and implemented budget thresholds to allocate budgets based on ad and creative precisely. Additionally, by shifting from total budget to daily budget caps, the team ensured all product ads remained live, pacing to ensure visibility all month long.
