Many marketers add new channels for "precision targeting". Truth: audiences are more homogeneous than sellers claim. To move the needle: prioritize incremental reach, not platform ROAS. Use holdouts/control groups, then MMM to reveal cross-channel lift & dodge click-bias pitfalls.

I've often seen companies panic when growth stalls.

Slashing ad spend across the board, freezing hiring, laying off staff, discounting everything to chase volume.

Big mistake.

When the pie shrinks, small moves create big advantages.

Most marketers obsess over signup volume.
Smart ones optimize for revenue quality.
We asked former beehiiv's Head of Growth to break down the budget allocation framework that actually moves the needle 👇

Stop optimizing for vanity metrics.
If you're getting 8X ROAS, you're leaving money on the table. Those returns exist because you're playing it safe with tiny budgets.
Scale up and watch your precious ROAS crumble - but your actual revenue grow.

When CFOs question brand spend, use Marketing Mix Modeling + incrementality tests to turn "trust me" into "here's the proof".
Stop losing attribution to direct/organic.

By definition, the further away you go from the conversion phase, the higher the potential for incremental effect. 'Potential' is the key word here, though.
