01

Prepare for a commercial shoot

Agree on the main message and intended audience. Choose the people and products to feature, confirm permission to film, prepare the location and identify a decision-maker for approvals. Bring existing brand assets and tell the production team where the finished video will run.

Make the next step easy

An ad and its destination should tell the same story. Check that your offer is visible, the service area is clear, the page works on a phone and calling or requesting a quote is straightforward. Test the actual contact path before launch.

Read a campaign report with the goal in mind

Impressions describe ad delivery, not unique people. Clicks describe a response, not necessarily a lead. Video completion describes viewing activity. Ask which measures are available, how they are defined and whether inquiry tracking is configured. Attribution alone does not establish that advertising caused a sale.

Before you approve a media plan

Confirm the objective, geography, schedule, creative deliverables, investment and management scope. Ask how inventory availability and reporting are handled, and what would trigger an adjustment during the campaign.
