If you run a large eCommerce brand, you’ve likely faced it: the dreaded Meta ads breakdown. One week you’re scaling efficiently, the next—your RoAS tanks, CPAs spike, and panic sets in. In this episode, Andrew walks through eight tactical steps to triage and fix a broken Meta ads account—based on real-world experience managing millions in ad spend.
You’ll learn:
– How to immediately identify whether it’s a technical issue or strategic breakdown
– Why small sample size volatility may be misleading your decisions
– How to communicate clearly with your team or agency when everything’s on fire
– Why assuming “you’re the problem” can actually give you the most control
– How to cut losses fast with the “Don’t Spend Bad Money” principle
– When and how to rebuild creative from scratch—and why weird might win
This is a practical, high-urgency playbook for brand operators, marketers, and agency leads who need to stabilize performance and return to profitable growth.
Whether you’re in the thick of a platform shift, reeling from iOS changes, or just trying to keep performance consistent, this episode will help you keep a steady hand on the wheel—and make smarter, faster decisions.
