Your war room sees you. The market moves somewhere else.

Revenue by hour, conversion by channel, stock by SKU. All useful, all about you. Meanwhile Black Week no longer starts on Black Friday. It starts on Singles Day, and in paid search it starts long before that. By the time everyone talks about Black Friday, the best openings are crowded and expensive.

Black Friday posts on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook the same day. The feed looks calm. The auction isn't.

Source: novuter MarketWatch, all ads and posts of the tracked brand panel (about 700 advertise on a given day), paid and organic, run of 4 Oct 2026. Some matches are leftover copy from last year. Longer read: Black Friday has started. Just not where you're looking.

Your war room needs three words, not another dashboard

Every theme, offer mechanic and message in your segment gets one of three labels every morning. That's the whole decision. The hard part is knowing which is which by 08:00.

Push now

The audience is moving toward a theme and few competitors are there. Put homepage space, paid budget and CRM there today.

People pulling, few brands present.

Watch

Something is building. Not yet worth money. You'll know tomorrow morning if it tips.

Rising, but not confirmed.

What lands in your inbox at 08:00

One e-mail and one live page, five minutes to read, top three moves first. Every edition is checked by a person before it goes out.

Why this isn't another dashboard

Any tool can generate a campaign idea. What decides is the data underneath: all channels, the last weeks plus last year's Black Week, and how the audience actually responded.

Breadth

2,000 brands, not the 15 on your slide

Your panel of 10 to 20 competitors by name, inside a market pool of 2,000 brands, including the ones you would never put on your list.

Where it starts

Paid, not just the feed

20+ channels including paid social, SEA and Google Shopping. Black Week moves in the auction before it shows up on Instagram.

Signal

Pull, not volume

Three questions per theme: is the audience moving toward it, how many brands are already there, and is growth coming from people pulling or brands pushing?

Memory

Last year's Black Week included

Every edition reads today against the prior-year window. That's how we can show you your Black Friday 2025 edition in the first call.

Every recommended move, whether you took it, and what the market did next. One click per move is all the logging there is.

Debrief, 90 minutes

Where you were early, where you overpaid, what you missed

With the CMO and the war-room lead, on the evidence of three weeks, not on gut feeling.

Playbook

Your revenue next to the market

If your data already sits in incuda, the debrief puts revenue and new customers next to the market signals, with no extra data delivery and only after your written approval.

We owe you the editions, not a revenue promise. The debrief shows what they were worth.

Your effort

  • Join the 30-minute kickoff
  • Name who receives the edition
  • One click per move: taken or not
  • CMO and war-room lead at Pre-Game and debrief

Optional: your Black Week plan in bullet points. Without it we reconstruct it from your public communication.

What CMOs ask us

Nothing in it has to change. Moves only touch levers that stay open in Black Week: homepage, paid, CRM subject lines, social.

The €4,900 is credited in full against 2027 (signed by 31 Jan 2027), so it's a down payment on next year, not extra spend.

You watch 10 to 20 brands. This reads audience response to 2,000, including the ones you'd never list, and across paid channels where Black Week starts first.

Five minutes at 08:00, top three moves first, one click per move.

We only analyse brands' public marketing. No customer or personal data leaves your house.

This is the test: three weeks, a fixed price and a debrief that shows what it was worth.
