Sample monthly client report · August 2026

Built around what Digital Ignite reports on

Programmatic and paid social, audience modelling, creative, and the campaign landing page, reported to a brand marketing lead

Illustrative figures — not this company's data. Every number below is either labelled illustrative (invented, to show the format) or real (from Archer Scaling's own accounts, or a live run you can reproduce yourself). Nothing here was measured from Digital Ignite's systems, because we have no access to them.

Real: where you show up when a buyer asks an AI assistant

This one is not illustrative. It was actually run on 2026-09-08, and you can reproduce it in about thirty seconds.

The exact prompt, run against chatgpt_searchwho should we hire to run our programmatic and social ad buying and make the creative, and actually give us one report that shows what's working across all the channels?

Digital Ignite — not named

Asked who should run programmatic and social ad buying, make the creative, and deliver one unified cross-channel report, ChatGPT Search did not name Digital Ignite — or any specific agency by name. It recommended hiring a "Digital Marketing Manager or Digital Advertising Specialist," or alternatively "working with a full-service digital marketing agency that specializes in multi-channel advertising, creative production, and integrated reporting." No companies were cited, and digital-ignite.com did not appear in the citations (zero citations returned).

Paste that same prompt in yourself and you will get your own version of this. That is the point — it is checkable, which is why it is the only thing on this page stated as fact about your business.

Illustrative: what moved and why

The narrative section a client actually reads. Generated from the same numbers above.

Narrower segments cost more per impression and less per lead Illustrative

About a third of the programmatic budget moved out of broad retargeting and into three modelled segments built off the client's own purchase file. Media got more expensive on the way in: CPM finished 6% above July, because narrower inventory is more contested. The lead line went the other way, 512 leads at a cost per lead 12% below July on flat spend. That is the trade, and it is worth saying plainly so nobody reads the CPM card on its own and calls it a problem.

The sweepstakes unit did its job, and one thing it was not asked to do Illustrative

The August giveaway creative on Meta, paired with the matched display set, brought in 4,980 email signups and is now the largest single source on the list. It also pulled the landing page conversion rate from 4.6% down to 4.1%. Nothing broke. The page is being asked to serve two different visitors, someone entering a giveaway and someone requesting a quote, and the entrants arrive in enough volume to move the blended rate while only ever completing one of the two actions.

Video is carrying click-through; the static carousels are not Illustrative

Across paid social, the three vertical video cuts held a 0.51% CTR against 0.24% on the static carousels at comparable delivery. Instead of refreshing the carousels mid-flight, spend rotated toward video over the last ten days of August. Most of the month's CTR improvement sits in that ten-day window rather than across the whole flight.

Illustrative: what happens next month

September: split the page, hold the segments Illustrative

Three things, in this order. First, a second landing page for giveaway entrants so the quote page stops being measured against traffic that was never going to request a quote; that alone should return the conversion rate to something readable. Second, the three modelled segments stay untouched for a full second month. One month at this spend is a read, not a result, and rebuilding them now throws away the only clean comparison we will get. Third, the remaining static carousel budget moves into two new video cuts, since the 0.51% against 0.24% gap is wide enough to act on without waiting.

What we need from you before the 5th Illustrative

Creative approval on the two new video cuts, a refreshed export of the purchase file so the modelled segments do not decay, and a decision on which conversion is the one this campaign is judged on next month. The last one matters most: with the page split in two, the quote form and the email capture stop being the same number, and we would rather you pick the one that counts than have us pick it for you.
