# Avant Gardening — Facebook Ads Setup & Payment Method

## Overview

Facebook Ads campaigns for [[wiki/clients/avant-gardening/_index|Avant Gardening & Landscaping]] were fully configured by the Asymmetric team but remain **paused** as of the 2025-11-24 campaign review meeting. The sole blocker is a missing payment method on the client's Facebook Ads account. No spend has occurred and no impressions have been served.

## Current Status

| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Campaign setup | ✅ Complete |
| Ad creative | ✅ Ready |
| Payment method | ❌ Missing — **campaigns cannot run** |
| Ads live | ❌ Paused |

## Blocker: Missing Payment Method

The campaigns were set up by Sebastian (Asymmetric team) but no payment card was added to the Facebook Ads account. Tim Stenzel confirmed during the meeting that he had not set up any payment information himself, so the account has no card on file.

**Required action (client):** Tim Stenzel must log into the Facebook Ads account and add a valid payment method. Once a card is on file, the campaigns can be unpaused and will begin serving immediately.

> "I didn't set anything up, so I'm sure there's nothing in there now." — Tim Stenzel

## Next Steps

- [ ] **Tim Stenzel** — Add a payment method to the Facebook Ads account to activate campaigns
- [ ] **Asymmetric team** — Confirm payment is live and unpause campaigns; notify Tim once ads are serving
