Paid Social and Search Ads
Most Malaysian businesses run Meta and Google separately, often through different people, and never answer the only question that matters: given one budget, where should the next thousand ringgit go? Answering it needs both channels understood well enough to compare, tracking good enough to trust, and a weekly routine for moving money. Two days building all three, working in live accounts rather than on slides.
Programme Agenda
Demand Capture and Demand Creation
Search captures existing intent; social creates it. Why the two need different creative, different measurement windows and different expectations, and how the split should change with your product and buying cycle.
Planning a Budget Across Channels
Working backwards from a revenue target through conversion rate and average order value to a workable cost per acquisition. Splitting an initial budget, and the test budget you should be willing to lose.
Google Campaign Structure
Search campaign architecture, match types, negative keyword lists, ad group tightness and quality score. Where Performance Max helps and where it removes control you needed.
Meta Campaign Structure
Objectives, audience setup and the honest position on how much manual targeting still adds. Broad targeting with strong creative, and the learning phase that punishes constant editing.
Conversion Tracking
Getting the measurement right before spending, because everything after depends on it. Server-side and browser-based tracking, consent, attribution windows, and reconciling platform-reported conversions with what your own system recorded.
Creative Testing
Structured testing rather than guessing: what to vary, how many variants, how long to run, and reading a result that is not statistically clean. Creative refresh cadence and fatigue signals.
Bidding and Budget Mechanics
Bid strategies, what an algorithm optimises toward and what it ignores, budget pacing, and the changes that reset learning. Scaling a campaign that works without breaking it.
The Weekly Routine
A fixed review: which metrics to look at, what constitutes a signal rather than noise, when to reallocate between channels, and when to leave something alone. Participants build the routine and run it on a live account.
