Paused
A single Google campaign is active; LinkedIn has been paused since the May 1 engagement change. Click-through rate improved to 6.8% (from 5.6%) and the account recorded its first conversion of May this week, following the May keyword restructure (8 keywords, CPG landing pages). This is one conversion on a small sample, so it's an early signal rather than a trend. Impression share is near 10%, which is expected on a $10/day budget — reach is capped by spend. Lead quality and downstream value aren't visible from CPA alone.
Email
No email campaigns were sent this period. Most recent send: May 2026 Newsletter on May 14 — 738 recipients, 40.8% unique open rate, 2.2% unique click rate. The June newsletter (038) is in the approval and build cycle, with the send currently scheduled for June 15.
