Paid Media Strategies That Drive Customers, Not Just Conversions

has changed.

Paid Media has evolved beyond the average PPC campaign blindly chasing legacy metrics.

Gated assets and MQLs are relics of a bygone era.  For SaaS companies, this ‘middle of the funnel’ is the dead zone, and does not drive ROI.

Customer-Led Paid Media leverages first-party data for targeted brand awareness (TOF) and high-conversion direct response campaigns (BOF) - across Paid Search, Social Media, Programmatic advertising, and Review Sites and Directories.

Customer-Led Paid Media changes the paradigm of how we connect and convert. It’s more than an ad, it’s a first impression - and first impressions matter. Highly relevant, personalized ads at first-touch lead to stronger conversions.  

This is easier said than done. A deep level of Customer intelligence is required, across first party data, TAM segmentation, personas, and customer voice. But the results are worth it.
