Ep 31: Not Around Here, Partner: Post-BFCM Steps That Matter


Listen Later

Black Friday is over, but this is NOT the time to take your foot off the gas. In this episode, Aves walks through the exact system she uses to organize hundreds of ads, break down what actually happened over BFCM, and extract the insights that drive next year’s wins.


You’ll learn how to structure a clean performance review, map creative by persona, identify who your ads really resonated with, and run a post-mortem that removes emotion and focuses on truth. Aves also shares the framework she’s used for years across industries to separate team-initiated wins, opportunities, external factors, and objective performance outcomes.
