• Translate the brief into a business problem. Restate the
brief in terms of the business outcome, target audience,
constraints, and agreed trade-offs.
•
• Offer a safe win and a smart bet. Present one solid, low-
risk plan and one bold, high-upside test, both tied to clear
KPIs.
• Turn results into momentum. Hold short post-campaign
debriefs to agree on what to scale, what to stop, and how
to apply learnings.
• Reporting numbers without meaning . Vanity metrics with
no link to revenue, cost, or risk.
• Starting with tools, not problems. Tech pitches without a
business use case, ROI, or integration path.
• Dropping last-minute “urgent” asks. Bypassing guardrails
and creating avoidable rework.
• Focusing on tiny optimisations while ignoring the big
strategic levers. Spending time tweaking low-impact details
like button colours, minor targeting shifts, or micro-copy
when the bigger drivers of performance (strategy, creative
quality, offer, audience fit) haven’t been addressed.
