Live optimization — from a 5-day compliance lag
The Bottleneck
Paid campaigns had sprawled across a dozen overlapping audience segments, with no one actively reallocating budget between them. Compliance review added a five-day lag to every change. CAC had crept up 60% over two quarters with no one able to say exactly why.
Our Intervention
Consolidated overlapping campaigns into a single audience structure. Built a compliance-pre-approved library of swappable ad components so optimization no longer waited on legal review for routine changes. Moved to a weekly reallocation cadence tied to locked CPC/CTR thresholds.
