If you spend any time in Ads Manager, this episode is for you. The CEO of the Smart Marketer Agency (Pepijn Hufen) is back on the show to share the framework he and his team use for their high-level clients.

You’ll learn the best metric for determining business health, how to handle Ads that have been running for less than 72 hours, the best way to test new creatives, and more!
