5. Try different platforms

The digital world has become very broad with the many platforms available. Each platform will have different user habits. It could be that the digital content created cannot be captured by users from one platform. Therefore, you should try the same ad on another platform.

You will get different results with the same type of content and budget. Make this useful data to discuss again with the marketing team.
