Five operating principles.
A customer moves through five levels: it looks interesting, it might work, it is worth the money, this is who I am, this is for me. Level three is transactional, and it is the most fragile place a brand can live, because anyone can undercut a price. The test is a single sentence: if you cannot state the transformation without naming the price or the materials, you do not have a belief, you have a discount.
Targeting converged years ago. Everyone buys roughly the same audiences at roughly the same price. What still separates a profitable account from an unprofitable one is the volume and the variety of creative fed into it, and the discipline to switch off what is not working before it has spent several times the average order value.
Every method on this page ran on brands the holding owns before it ran on a client account. That order is deliberate. It is also the only honest way to sell a method.
Content compounds slowly and unpredictably. Referral cannot be scheduled. Paid media is the only channel where deciding to grow on Monday produces volume on Tuesday. Everything else is a supporting asset, and we build those too, but the decision to grow is made in the auction.
Impressions, engagement and reach are not results. Revenue, contribution margin and return on ad spend are. A report that cannot be converted into one of those three is not a report.
