1. Executive Summary

Provide a brief overview of the media spend for the month, including any significant variances, insights, and recommendations for budget reallocation.

Example Executive Summary:
In this reporting period, the overall media spend for digital campaigns has exceeded expectations in some areas while falling short in others. Social media ads, in particular, performed well, surpassing target KPIs by 20%. However, the display ad campaigns underperformed due to poor targeting, leading to budget underspend. Based on these results, I recommend reallocating funds from underperforming channels to social media campaigns to drive better ROI.

6. Recommendations for Future Media Spend Optimization

1. Improve Targeting on Display Ads
   Display ads underperformed due to poor targeting, which led to budget underspend. Future campaigns should refine targeting and retarget website visitors who did not convert.
2. Increase Social Media Ad Budget
   Social media ads continue to show strong ROI, and a modest increase in budget should result in further engagement and conversions. The audience on Facebook and Instagram aligns well with our campaign objectives.
3. Monitor Google Ads Performance
   Google Ads campaigns exceeded budget due to an increase in CPC, impacting overall ROI. It’s important to closely monitor Google Ads metrics to ensure budget efficiency and possibly shift more focus to organic strategies or retargeting efforts.
4. Email Marketing
   Email marketing performed exceptionally well, and the cost was under budget. Future campaigns could further capitalize on segmentation and personalization to drive higher engagement rates.
