Finally cracked my ad creative testing.

Il modo in cui spiega come testare le varianti creative prima di scalare il budget mi ha aperto gli occhi, finalmente ho capito perché certe campagne non decollavano.

J'ai enfin compris comment structurer mes tests créatifs avant de scaler une campagne, le module sur le storytelling visuel change vraiment la façon de bosser.

Curso muito bom para entender como testar variações de anúncios antes de escalar o orçamento, só senti falta de mais exemplos voltados para o mercado brasileiro.

Bon contenu sur la stratégie créative et le scaling des campagnes, même si j'aurais aimé plus d'exemples concrets sur TikTok Ads.

Mình làm marketing được hai năm nhưng phần lớn là mò mẫm, đến khi học khóa này mới thấy có một quy trình rõ ràng để lên kế hoạch quảng cáo social. Phần chia nhỏ các bước test creative trước khi đổ ngân sách lớn giúp mình tiết kiệm được kha khá tiền so với cách làm cũ. Cách trình bày khá dễ hiểu, không dùng nhiều thuật ngữ khó, mỗi bài học đều có ví dụ minh họa cụ thể. Mình đặc biệt thích phần nói về cách đọc số liệu để quyết định nên scale hay dừng một creative. Sau khi học xong mình áp dụng ngay vào chiến dịch đang chạy và thấy tỷ lệ chuyển đổi cải thiện rõ rệt.

Un vrai plan d'action pour structurer ses tests créatifs, j'ai particulièrement apprécié la partie sur comment savoir quand scaler une pub qui marche.

আমি অনেকদিন ধরে ফেসবুক আর ইনস্টাগ্রাম অ্যাডে টাকা ঢালছিলাম কিন্তু রেজাল্ট ছিল এলোমেলো, এই কোর্সটা করার পর পুরো প্রসেসটা বুঝতে পারলাম। ক্রিয়েটিভ টেস্টিং এর অংশটা বিশেষভাবে ভালো লেগেছে, কীভাবে একসাথে কয়েকটা ভ্যারিয়েন্ট চালিয়ে সেরাটা বের করতে হয় সেটা ধাপে ধাপে দেখানো হয়েছে। স্কেলিং এর সময় বাজেট কীভাবে বাড়াতে হয় সেই কৌশলগুলোও বাস্তব উদাহরণ দিয়ে বোঝানো হয়েছে, শুধু থিওরি নয়। ভিডিওগুলো খুব বেশি লম্বা না, তাই কাজের ফাঁকে সময় বের করে দেখা যায়। সবমিলিয়ে আমার পেইড সোশ্যাল স্ট্র্যাটেজি সম্পূর্ণ বদলে গেছে।

Давно хотела разобраться в платной рекламе в соцсетях системно, а не методом тыка, и этот курс дал именно то, что нужно. Особенно понравился блок про тестирование креативов — там подробно показано, как запускать несколько вариантов одновременно и по каким метрикам понимать, какой из них масштабировать. Много реальных примеров кампаний, разбор ошибок, которые обычно допускают новички вроде меня. Темп подачи комфортный, можно останавливаться и пересматривать нужные моменты. После прохождения я пересобрала свою текущую кампанию по новой схеме и уже вижу, что расход бюджета стал более осмысленным.

Came in knowing how to run ads but having no real system for the creative side, and that's exactly the gap this filled. The framework for planning and testing ad concepts before scaling spend has already saved me from burning budget on weak hooks. I also liked the section on using AI to brainstorm angles when I hit a wall. My only small gripe is that a couple of the testing examples felt platform-specific and could use updating. Still, I'd recommend it to anyone managing paid social.

Ottimo corso per capire come pianificare e scalare le campagne social, il framework per testare le creatività passo dopo passo è chiarissimo.

Llevaba meses gastando en anuncios sin un método claro y este curso me ordenó completamente el proceso de creación y prueba de anuncios. Lo que más valoro es la parte de testeo de creatividades, explican paso a paso cómo lanzar varias versiones y decidir con datos cuál escalar, sin adivinar. También me gustó que no se quedan solo en la teoría, muestran ejemplos reales de campañas con números concretos. El ritmo es bueno, cada lección va directo al grano sin relleno. Ya apliqué lo aprendido en mi última campaña y noté una mejora clara en el rendimiento de los anuncios.
