Agenda
-
The Fundamentals
Meet your hosts, Shelby and Adele, as they unpack why you should never touch the ‘Boost’ button again. In this high-impact session, they’ll break down the true power of Meta Ads, how Meta fits within a modern marketing funnel, how bidding really works, how user value is defined, and the objectives and metrics that actually drive growth.
-
Morning Tea
-
Budgets, Structure & Creative
We then move into defining your budget using our proprietary Budget Calculator, mapping the user’s path to purchase, and implementing Chain’s recommended campaign structures for both eCommerce and service-based businesses. You’ll gain clarity on how to navigate the learning phase effectively, avoid common optimisation pitfalls, and structure campaigns for sustainable scale - not short-term spikes. Most importantly, we’ll teach you how to create high-converting ad creative using our proven 3-part formula - the exact framework we use inside Chain to drive measurable results.
