Social Media Advertising Case Studies & Practical Application 2

Question 1

A DTC skincare brand runs Facebook ads targeting women 25-45. After two weeks, CTR is strong but ROAS is 0.8. What is the most likely fix?

Accepted Answer

Audit the landing page and checkout funnel for drop-off

Answer

High CTR with low ROAS means traffic is arriving but not converting, pointing to a post-click funnel issue rather than an ad problem.

Question 2

A B2B SaaS company tests LinkedIn Message Ads vs. Sponsored Content for a webinar. Message Ads have a 2% open-to-click rate; Sponsored Content has a 0.4% CTR. Which metric makes Message Ads appear stronger, and what caveat applies?

Accepted Answer

Message Ads look stronger on open-to-click rate, but their send volume is limited by LinkedIn's frequency caps

Answer

Message Ads calculate CTR from opens, not impressions, inflating the rate; LinkedIn also caps how often you can message the same member.

Question 3

An e-commerce retailer sees its Facebook prospecting CPA double during Q4. Competitor spend is rising. What lever should they adjust first to stay efficient?

Accepted Answer

Expand creative library and test new angles to improve relevance scores

Answer

In competitive auction periods, fresh creative with strong relevance reduces CPMs more sustainably than bid adjustments alone.

Question 4

A food delivery app runs TikTok TopView ads and sees a 35% lift in brand awareness but flat app installs. What does this indicate about campaign objective alignment?

Accepted Answer

The awareness objective was met but a separate lower-funnel campaign is needed to drive installs

Answer

TopView excels at awareness; converting that awareness to installs requires dedicated App Install campaigns with strong CTAs.

Question 5

A retailer's Instagram Shopping ads have a high add-to-cart rate but low purchase completion. Which action best addresses this specific gap?

Accepted Answer

Launch a dynamic retargeting campaign targeting add-to-cart abandoners

Answer

Users who added to cart showed intent; dynamic retargeting re-engages them with the exact products they considered.
