Why Nicolas wanted a different approach

Nicolas says managing ads had been one of his biggest challenges. He describes regularly adjusting campaigns, which took a significant amount of time alongside his catalog of books.

What he saw in new campaigns

Nicolas says that after about five days, Adigy was already optimizing. He reported that new campaigns started by Adigy had ACoS around 7% to 10%, and that none were above his personal break-even point. He also said it was optimizing some of his original campaigns.

Context and limits

The video does not list the number of campaigns, the period used to calculate each ACoS, ad spend, attributed sales, royalties, or Nicolas’s break-even calculation. ACoS compares ad spend with attributed sales; it is not a measure of royalty profit by itself. These figures describe his account and are not a performance guarantee.
