bookGenerating Executive Summaries

Executive summaries play a crucial role in agency-client communication by providing a clear, high-level overview of campaign results and recommendations. Clients often do not have the time or need to review every detail within a full report. Instead, they rely on the executive summary to quickly understand what worked, what needs attention, and what actions are recommended. This concise summary helps clients make informed decisions without getting overwhelmed by data, and it reinforces the agency’s value by highlighting successes and strategic insights.

When creating an executive summary, it is essential to select the most important metrics that align with the client’s goals. These typically include total impressions, clicks, conversions, and spend, as well as identifying which channels or campaigns performed best. Presenting these metrics clearly—using bullet points, concise language, and highlighting standout results—ensures that clients can quickly grasp the most relevant insights. Avoiding unnecessary details keeps the summary focused and actionable.
