I have a client spending $500k/mo. Here's how I structure their account (super simple)

Scaling Winners:
→ 1 CBO
→ 2 ad sets (1 historical winners, 1 new ads)
→ Min spend limit on new ads ad set to force spend

Creative Testing:
→ 1 ABO
→ Ad set per angle/emotion
→ Post ID

Here's how I structure my scaling campaign so that one ad doesn't hog all the spend.

Every month I launch a new ad set in my scaling CBO with newly proven winners from testing.

→ Month 1: Ad set with winners from January testing
→ Month 2: Ad set with winners from February

The #1 skill in Creative Strategy has nothing to do with copywriting.

Your reticular activation system filters 99% of reality. It decides what you notice and what you ignore.

The best strategists I know train their RAS to flag

Here&#39;s how I decide when to turn off an ad.

First: Check spend and time

→ The ad needs to have spent 3x its CPA per day for at least 3 days 
→ This gives it enough data to optimize properly →… | Ben Radack

Top 3 reasons you're stuck at $100K/m and can't break $1M/m:

1. No systematic approach to testing 
(Random creative launches with no hypothesis)
Fix: Build a testing system (research → hypothesis → test → learn)

2. Promoting 10 offers when 1 makes 80% of revenue

4. What

When to scale testing ad sets in place vs moving winners to my scaling CBO.

Typically I'll scale testing ad sets in place when:

→ The ad doesn't have vertical scale (performs at $200/day but dies at $1k/day)

→ The concept is working but needs room to breathe at lower budgets

Here's why we're moving 80% of accounts from CBO to ABO in 2026:

THE CBO PROBLEM:

New creative launches get starved of spend. The algorithm over-indexes on existing winners and refuses to test new concepts properly despite using minimum spend.

OUR ABO STRUCTURE:

- Each ad set

this is what a high-roas AI ad actually looks like

no flashy edits
no fake enthusiasm
no “AI aesthetic”
