The audit framed budget, workstreams, and channel logic before scale, which is the right order for high-ticket commerce.

The problem
Luxury e-commerce buyers do not behave like low-ticket impulse buyers. They compare authenticity, price, condition, delivery, payment safety, brand trust, and customer support before taking action.
The account needed a paid media plan that separated brand protection, category demand, Shopping, Performance Max, remarketing, and Meta catalog activity. A single aggressive scale recommendation would have created too much risk without first validating trust and tracking.
The founder needed a budget model that could scale across UAE, GCC, USA, and Europe while still respecting high-ticket buyer hesitation.
The strategy
I mapped Google Ads into brand search, category search, Shopping, Performance Max, remarketing, and competitor-intent campaigns. Meta was split into prospecting, catalog sales, Reels, retargeting, and WhatsApp-assisted high-ticket sales.
The audit also identified the access and data needed before scale: Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, GA4, product feed, spend history, AOV, KPI targets, payment flow, and conversion tracking setup.
The strategy treated Performance Max as one part of the system, not the whole system. Feed quality, product trust, retargeting, and assisted sales had to work together.
The execution
- Sprint 1: reviewed offer, product categories, buyer trust signals, expected AOV, and payment confidence.
- Sprint 2: mapped Google campaigns by brand, non-brand, Shopping, PMax, remarketing, and competitor intent.
- Sprint 3: mapped Meta campaigns by prospecting, catalog, Reels, retargeting, and WhatsApp-assisted sales.
- Sprint 4: built the AED 730-1,420 daily framework and AED 21.9K-42.6K monthly budget range.
- Sprint 5: documented required tracking, feed, creative, and landing-page inputs before launch.
The result
The output was a controlled media plan: daily spend range, monthly budget model, 10-channel workstream plan, and a clear access checklist before money moved into aggressive scaling.
The case is useful because it shows senior thinking before spend. It protects measurement, segments buyer intent, respects luxury trust signals, and scales only after the account can explain where profitable demand is likely to come from.
What I would do differently
I would request product-margin bands and inventory velocity before finalizing budget split. In luxury e-commerce, not every sale has the same value or replacement risk, so the next version of the plan should weight spend toward categories with healthier margin, available stock, and stronger trust proof.
