Will AI Replace Your Agency? What We Learned in New York

Show Notes

Welcome to episode two of our New York City takeover, recorded straight from the Meta Agency Summit. ๐Ÿ—ฝ

Adele and Shelby sat in a room full of agencies and walked out more optimistic than they walked in. They cover the move from media buyer to orchestrator, why consulting beats building your own tech, why agencies will get leaner and why human messiness is about to become your biggest advantage.

If you're an agency owner, a freelancer or a brand working with one, this one's for you. Don't be scared of change. ๐ŸคŽ

Next up is our final NYC episode: a quick one on everything we saw and learned about how Americans shop and consume.

Welcome to our NYC mini series ๐Ÿ—ฝ๐ŸคŽ

If they didn't buy during your November sale, why would they buy the week after at full price? In our final Black Friday episode, Adele and Shelby unpack the post-sale hangover, and what to do when sales fall off a cliff after BFCM.

Creative is more than half the outcome on Meta, and in November every feed looks the same. Adele runs through the Black Friday creative types that keep winning: simple offer statics with your logo on them (yes, your logo), cart screenshots showing the savings, text message exchanges, founder and employee content, pack an order with me, and creator content like unboxings, try-ons and demos. Meta is pushing paid partnership ads harder than ever, so if they're not in your mix, you'll fall behind.

If your Black Friday strategy starts in November, you're already behind. Adele breaks down the runway that actually decides your sale. September is for testing creative motivators, targeting, campaign types and bidding strategies. October is for building a high-quality audience while shoppers hold out, and November is your Super Bowl, where you stop testing and scale.

Episode ten and we're going straight to the thing that decides your November โ€” the offer. Adele spitfires every offer type we've seen work (and flop) across our client base: sitewide percentages, gift with purchase, spend and save, BOGO, the hidden collection play, and why free shipping alone will get you unsubscribed.
