Use your results elsewhere!

Use the Google AdWords editor
Deliberately block out time for it
Read!
Remember the requirements of your Grant
Share responsibility
But be realistic
Great for video
Great for “awareness”
Great for targeting outside your Facebook audience
Less great for donations
Good potential for campaigning
Run shorter campaigns
Refine your targeting - make lots of Advert Sets
Always use multiple creative options
Use separate creative for mobile devices
Check in and evaluate regularly
Keep your enemies close
And keep your friends sort-of roughly as close
YouTube
Target by keyword, channel or by interest groups
Easy to schedule campaigns for specific times
Reports on length of video watched
Use learnings for future content development
Don’t forget subtitles!
