Maybe today is your bad when you are realizing your ad campaign drop in result. It's far away from your expectation. A matter of fact, it missed the target. It's something that left behind such as missing in action.

What's wrong? What kind of mistake lays on the fact?

You and your team should make a comprehensive review to avoid such problem to occur again in the future. You can make a list to track the causes. Don't make an assumption that everything is totally right. Don't defense yourself. It's only getting worse for the matter.

It must be a mistake in your campaign.
However, no one will be burdened by the weight of fail.
It's a work of team. So, don't worry...

Then, take a look to the ad strategy.
A surgeon is a must to get in detail.

Has your ad answered the target audience's need or want?
Has your ad well crafted to talk to them?
Has your ad message delivered the right thing of your product to the target audience?
Has your ad message sided to the customer?

You yourself could continue the list to seek the missing link further

Find it, find the thing missed in the execution: missing in action.

Indeed, you'll find and craft a great approach for your ad.
