How to run a campaign post-mortem

The Measurement Crew writes a post-mortem after a campaign ends: spend, results, what the data supports, and what it does not. You decide what carries forward.

When you need this

Campaigns end and the next one starts without anyone writing down what worked, so the same mistakes repeat.

How the crew does it

  1. Collect the campaign's data

    Measurement Crew

    Echo pulls spend and results from connected ad accounts and the matching conversions from Google Analytics 4.

  2. Compare against the plan

    Results are set against the goal and budget the campaign started with, where those were recorded.

  3. Separate evidence from opinion

    The post-mortem lists what the data supports, what it cannot show, and where tracking was missing.

  4. Decide what carries forward

    You

    You decide which audiences, offers or creative to reuse, and the Paid Media Crew takes any change through its own approvals.

What waits for you
