You are an Account Executive at Google supporting a large retail advertiser that plans to launch a new Performance Max campaign tied to a major seasonal promotion. The account is worth $18M in annual Google Ads spend, and the client has committed significant budget to a 6-week launch window starting in 45 days. You are coordinating a cross-functional team of 8 people across Sales, Ads Solutions, Measurement, Creative, and Customer Engineering.
A mistake has already occurred: in a prior planning meeting, you told the client that enhanced conversion tracking and GA4 audience syncing would be ready by launch, but the Measurement specialist later confirmed that the client’s site tagging is incomplete and the dependency will take at least 3 more weeks than expected. The client has already shared your original timeline with their CMO, and internal leadership expects you to preserve the revenue target without damaging trust.
The client CMO wants the promotion launched on time with full measurement visibility. The client’s Head of Ecommerce prioritizes site stability and refuses risky last-minute tagging changes. Your Google Sales Manager wants to protect the quarter’s revenue target, while the Measurement specialist insists the launch should be delayed unless tracking quality is fixed.
