The Runbase Lab / How we work

Know why.
Make what’s next.

A campaign should leave you with more than a report. See how we turn customer insight, distinctive creative and considered experiments into a clearer next move.

Customer languageMotivations. Objections. Unmet needs.
Account historyPast creative. Patterns. Open questions.
Category contextThe conventions. The room to stand out.
THE CREATIVE BRIEFFind the angle.
Give it direction.

A customer insight. A reason to buy.
A hypothesis to take into the work.

01 / Dig

Start with people.

What makes someone buy? What holds them back? We look at customer language, your past ads and the category before writing the brief.

What we carry forward

A research brief with sources, objections and a question to explore.

THREE DISTINCT DIRECTIONS
A / A situationThat
moment
when.
B / A demonstration▶See it
in action.
C / An objectionYes,
but what
about…

Different reasons to pay attention.

02 / Make

Different ideas.
Not just new colors.

A new reason to buy, a different opening, another way to show the product. We make distinct concepts before iterating the details.

What we carry forward

Finished creative, copy and the placement exports your buyer needs.

opening
Question
Does the opening change purchase intent?
Keep comparable
Product, offer and experiment conditions.
Agree first
Budget, measure and decision criteria.

03 / Run

Give each experiment
a clear job.

Agree the question, the success measure and the budget before launch. Your buyer runs the plan, or we manage Meta on the management plan.

What we carry forward

An agreed experiment plan. Results are reviewed when there is enough evidence.

THE READOUTILLUSTRATIVE / NO CLIENT DATA
01 / ObservedMore clicks.
No more purchases.
02 / Interpretation

The opening attracted interest. It has not yet shown a sales advantage.

03 / Next action

Check the message against the page. Explore a clearer product demonstration.

04 / Read

From a report
to a decision.

We separate what happened from what we think it means. Attention, clicks and purchases each tell a different part of the story.

What we carry forward

A written readout: observations, interpretation and the next action.

LEARNING INTO THE NEXT BRIEF
Keep / The questionChange / The executionRecord / The reasoning

05 / Repeat

The next brief
starts smarter.

Keep what the evidence supports. Change what needs another experiment. Your next round begins with the last round’s learning.

What we carry forward

A new brief that records what to keep, what to change and why.

A clear question. A better brief.

Let’s find what your next campaign should explore.
