Paid Acquisition Workflow
End-to-end paid advertising from strategy to measurement.
Pre-Flight
Check for .agents/product-marketing-context.md. If missing, invoke product-marketing-context first.
Phase 1: Strategy
Step 1A — Campaign Strategy
Invoke paid-ads:
- Platform selection (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok)
- Campaign structure and naming conventions
- Audience targeting (custom, lookalike, interest, keyword)
- Budget allocation across platforms and campaigns
- Bidding strategy and CPA/ROAS targets
Step 1B — Psychology Layer
Invoke marketing-psychology for:
- Ad angle selection based on cognitive biases
- Urgency, social proof, and loss aversion framing
- Platform-specific psychological triggers
Gate: User approves platform mix, budget, and targeting before creative.
Phase 2: Creative
Step 2A — Ad Creative at Scale
Invoke ad-creative:
- Headlines and descriptions per platform/format
- Multiple angles (pain, gain, social proof, curiosity, authority)
- Character-count compliant variations
- CSV-ready for bulk upload
Step 2B — Landing Page Copy
Invoke copywriting for ad-specific landing pages:
- Message match with ad creative
- One page per major campaign angle
- CTA aligned to campaign objective
Step 2C — Landing Page Design & CRO
Invoke ui-ux-pro-max to design/review each landing page:
- Layout, visual hierarchy, typography, CTA prominence, mobile responsiveness
Invoke
page-croon each landing page: - Above-fold audit, trust signals, friction reduction
- Mobile optimization check
Use
frontend-design:frontend-designto implement design + CRO changes
Phase 3: Infrastructure
Step 3A — Tracking Setup
Invoke analytics-tracking:
- Pixel/tag implementation plan
- Conversion event definitions
- UTM taxonomy for all campaigns
- Attribution model configuration
Step 3B — A/B Test Plan
Invoke ab-test-setup:
- Ad creative testing plan (which variations to test first)
- Landing page split tests
- Audience segment tests
- Statistical significance thresholds
Phase 4: Iteration (post-launch)
After campaigns run for 1-2 weeks with data:
Step 4A — Creative Iteration
Re-invoke ad-creative with performance data:
- Double down on winning angles
- New variations inspired by top performers
- Fatigue detection and refresh schedule
Step 4B — Landing Page Optimization
Re-invoke page-cro with conversion data:
- Data-informed CRO recommendations
- New A/B test hypotheses
Skill Chain Summary
Strategy: paid-ads → marketing-psychology
Creative: ad-creative → copywriting → page-cro
Infrastructure: analytics-tracking → ab-test-setup
Iteration: ad-creative (v2) → page-cro (v2)
Rules
- Never create ads without landing page alignment (always pair 2A with 2B).
- Tracking (Phase 3) should be set up BEFORE campaigns go live.
- Phase 4 requires real performance data — don't run prematurely.
- Always create at least 3 ad angle variations for testing.
