Scaling a successful campaign is not as simple as just adding a zero to your daily budget. If you increase spend too quickly, you risk resetting the learning phase and throwing your performance into a tailspin. A calculated, incremental approach is the key to maintaining efficiency while increasing volume.

Horizontal Versus Vertical Scaling

Vertical scaling involves increasing the budget of an existing winning set, while horizontal scaling focuses on testing that winning creative with new audiences.
