The 15 Channels (what to do, how to win, what to watch)
- Meta (FB/IG) — Catalog + Advantage+ Sales
- Why: Fastest way to put your range in front of the market; frames lift CTR; Advantage+ scales winners.
- Do this: Catalog ads with frames (“New In”, “Flat 20%”), weekly refresh; 3–5 UGC Reels; 1 carousel per hero.
- Watch: CTR, ATC%, VTC, creative fatigue (7–10 days typical for apparel).
- Pitfall: Letting winners die by not refreshing angles.
- Google Ads — Demand Gen (YouTube/Discover/Gmail)
- Why now: Demand Gen keeps shipping updates (GML 2025, monthly “Demand Gen Drops”), expands placements & tools—great for Shorts-first brands. Google Help+2blog.google+2

- Watch: Engaged-views, view-through conversions, incremental branded search.

- Performance Max

- Watch: Conv. Value/Cost, new-customer share.
- Pitfall: No creative variety → automation plateaus.
- YouTube Shorts & Live (incl. creator collabs)
- Why now: Shorts is enormous (≈200B daily views), and Live just got major upgrades (AI highlights, dual-format streaming, new ad surfaces). The Economic Times+1
- Do this: Hook-first VO ads, creator style; clip longer videos into Shorts; test live + highlight cuts.
