How campaign reporting actually works in Kenya in 2026
Most Kenyan agencies report by sending screenshots of the Meta Ads dashboard with no commentary. Or 40-page PDFs full of charts that nobody reads. Both miss the point: reporting exists to inform decisions, not to demonstrate activity.
Done well, reporting is a decision-support tool that surfaces what changed, what worked, what didn't, and what to do next. Below is how we approach reporting for ongoing client engagements.
Reports start with the executive summary, not the data
The first paragraph of any report tells the story - what happened, what mattered, what to do. Stakeholders who read only that paragraph should walk away with the right understanding. Charts and detailed data follow for those who want to verify or dive deeper.
Targets and benchmarks frame every metric
"3,400 clicks" means nothing in isolation. "3,400 clicks - 12% above target, up 18% from last period" tells a story. Every metric in our reports has context - target, prior period, year-over-year comparison, industry benchmark - so readers can interpret meaning without separate research.
What-changed sections highlight signal over noise
Most metrics fluctuate by single-digit percentages between periods. The signal is usually in the few metrics that moved 20%+ or that crossed important thresholds. We surface the signal explicitly rather than asking readers to find it across dozens of charts.
Recommendations make the report actionable
Reports without recommendations are reports nobody acts on. Every monthly report ends with 3 to 5 specific recommendations for the next period - "increase TikTok creative-production cadence to 2x/week," "pause underperforming Meta campaign X," "test landing-page variant Y on top traffic source." Concrete actions, not vague suggestions.
Anomaly notes catch issues early
Sudden traffic drops, conversion-rate spikes (often broken tracking), unusual referral sources, ad-account warnings, ranking volatility. We monitor for anomalies actively and document them in reports - usually with diagnostic notes about what we did to investigate or fix.
How we structure reporting
Weekly tactical (campaigns active)
10 to 15 minute read. Channel-by-channel performance, anomalies, this-week recommendations.
Monthly strategic (ongoing engagements)
30 to 45 minute read. KPI performance, channel mix, content/creative learnings, next-month recommendations, longer-horizon strategic notes.
Quarterly business review (strategic clients)
Presentation format. Big-picture commercial outcomes, strategic recommendations for next quarter, budget reallocation discussions.

Frequently asked questions
What's in a typical campaign report?
Executive summary (3 paragraphs), KPI performance vs targets, channel-by-channel breakdown, top-performing creative/keywords/audiences, what changed in the period, what we recommend for next period, anomaly notes. Designed to inform decisions, not impress with chart count.
How often do you report?
Weekly tactical reports (10 to 15 minute read) for active campaigns, monthly strategic reports (30 to 45 minute read) for ongoing engagements, quarterly business reviews (presentation format) for strategic clients. Reporting cadence is set in onboarding to match client decision-making rhythm.
Do you do custom reporting?
Yes - per-client templates, KPIs that match client priorities, presentation styles that fit client culture (some prefer minimalist text reports, others want comprehensive visuals). Standardised templates exist for efficiency but every client gets adapted reporting.
Cost?
Reporting included in retainer engagements. Standalone reporting setup (one-time): KES 35,000 to 120,000 for dashboard design + initial template builds. Ongoing standalone reporting (without strategy/execution): KES 25,000 to 60,000/month - rare, usually combined with broader engagements.
What tools do you use for reporting?
Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio) for most dashboards - free, flexible, integrates with GA4 and most ad platforms. Tableau or Power BI for enterprise clients with existing investments. Google Sheets for simple reports clients want to manipulate. PDF reports for stakeholders preferring static formats.
