2. What we are doing next

[Media buyer: the decisions made this month and why, from the decisions log, in three lines]

[AM: what the client will see change next month, matched to what they said they want]

· Nothing yet. No creative axis has two cuts thick enough to compare across 72 ad(s) in 180 days, which is the normal state at this spend — and "we do not know" is a better answer than a ranking of four conversions that somebody then builds a quarter around.

· SGD 13182 of spend sits on ads whose names say nothing about format, hook or angle, so it teaches us nothing. That is the price of the old naming, and it falls to zero on its own as new ads ship under the convention.

· Cost per purchase rose more than a fifth against July 2026. Worth separating creative fatigue from an auction that simply got more expensive — frequency and CPM tell those apart.

· The largest share of spend went to "AM - ASC - Tailored Tee IMG 2" at 1.90x, while "AM - ASC - New Arrivals Collection" returned 2.50x on less. Worth asking rather than acting on: Meta may be funding the first because it contributes to conversions credited elsewhere, which last-click reporting cannot show.

3. What we cannot see this month

· Which of our angles produced which result. All 6 ad(s) this month predate the naming convention, and live ads are not renamed — so this is closed rather than outstanding. Ads created from now on carry an angle code and attribute themselves.

Internal, never sent

Numbers not trustworthy yet: SAMPLE DATA PRESENT in the organic figures. At least one number here is an acceptance-testing fixture rather than a measurement. Do not send this to a client under any circumstances until every organic source reads api or manual.

Effort: 6 ads live, 2 angles shipped, 3 formats. Retainer $1,500, spend is 2.1x the retainer.

  • Landing page and checkout work 86% of people who added to cart never bought. The ads earned that intent and the site lost it, which is work we can quote for and which no amount of new creative fixes.

The unfiltered version. If an account is going badly the AM must know before the client does.
