How to Use Midas

Your AI media buyer is live. Here's how to start getting value from him today -- without giving him the keys to your ad account.

The Bottom Line

Midas is loaded with 3 years of LB Meta data (3,187 ads, $3.58M spend, 271K conversions), 10 PMF customer segments, Brand Brain rules, and media buying best practices. He's genuinely useful as an analyst and advisor right now. You don't need to let him run anything to get value. Think of it like onboarding a new media buyer -- you quiz them, test their judgment, and build trust before handing over the account.

"Based on our data, what creative concept should we test next?"
"Spencer wants to run a new Hook 3 ad. What does our data say about Hook 3?"

Campaign Architect

Zero Risk -- Plans Only

Have Midas design full campaign plans on paper -- audience targeting, budget allocation, creative briefs, naming conventions. He writes the plan, your team builds it manually in Ads Manager. No account access needed.

Voice-message him these

"Build me a campaign plan for the summer launch. Budget $15K. Goal: drive VIP early access sales."
"Design a creative testing plan. I want to test 3 new hooks targeting Beard Dads."
"Write me a scaling playbook for our top 3 campaigns. What budget moves should we make this week?"
"We need a BFCM ad strategy. Pull from what worked in previous years and give me a full plan."

Test Sandbox

Low Risk -- Controlled Budget

When you've built enough trust, create a separate test campaign with a small daily budget ($50-100/day). Midas makes recommendations, you review and approve, then execute. Build confidence over time before giving him any real budget.

How this works

Midas recommends a campaign structure + targeting + creative
You review the plan and approve or adjust
You (or your team) builds it in Ads Manager
Midas monitors performance daily and recommends optimizations
You approve each optimization before it's executed
