So, my campaign is over. I spent a lot less, and yes, I can swing elections for peanuts.
I spent $520 last time, and that reached roughly 40,000 people. This time, I took a new approach and aimed for video views rather than engagement with the Ads, but I think it's fair to include my covers album as part of the campaign.

This time - broad overview. I spent money I didn't have on these.
I owe Facebook $112.08. They extend me a line of credit because I advertise consistently, and that's something that I utilise in situations like this where I'm cash-poor, but asset-rich.
But yes, only up to $100. Which was more than enough, as we shall see. 🌿
$112.08 on 9 Ads over 60 days - first Ad (the piano doodles) was August 3, and the final one was October 12. I was out of money by October 13, so I was well ahead of that technicality. Sandra reminded me last time, but I'm very aware of such things.
I went to a good Intermediate, and my Dad was a Progressive so citizenship was something that he felt was important. Weed was the first referendum that made me feel like tipping the scales, though I was sorely tempted with the flag one.
I hated Red Peak, and I blame the Welly elite for that. WTF? I chose the Koru: it was a totally valid flag, even if it wasn't the All Blacks one that the entire country wanted.
NZ Rugby owns that trademark. I followed that debate very closely, and I respect that. 👍

Some of this campaign was Australasian, so the numbers are partially inflated by that.
Here's the ads.

Blame It On The Poor

$12.69 spent of a potential $28. This was when I ran out of bread.
Key demographic - men aged over 65+ = 20-25%.

The Dakumentary

Post Engagements
170 - this is larger than the link clicks, so that could also be people saying 'see less'
I wasn't targeting any specific political parties with these advertisements, as I found the challenge of conducting a political campaign without applying for political advertising a fun challenge and it inspired my guerilla tactics.
Key demographic - women aged 18-24 = 35%. ⚧️

$5.97 of a possible $28. Facebook caught on quickly that this was a political Ad, though it wasn't for my own party. 🌿
Key demographic - women aged 18-24, roughly 17%. FB hasn't counted non-binary for these.

Largest demographic - Men aged 65+, roughly 15%. It skewed older, but that's not a trend; there's a wide variety.

Key demographic = Eugenie. 😂
Women aged 55-64, 22%.
$10.23 of a potential $63. I wanted as many people as possible to see it while I was debating with the admins, so I decided to boost the spend, but then they decided to uphold their decision. I disagree re: sexual context, and I think most people realised that they weren't the leaders but alternates. 👍

key demographic ($7, that was good value for money): Women 18-24, Women 65+
around 10% each. I haven't tweaked the demos like I was for Weeded Out as I've been busy with other things and that sort-of care isn't always necessary, though I was quite fussy about Choosing The List Rankings and where I felt it should reach people.
It was a slightly craven move to promote in Aussie, but the Mozzie community is huge.

Any further questions, doubters?
See, Chloe's not my key demo; she's the same age, so that's why we're similar.
