In this episode, we talk about the big mistake many brands make when planning and measuring their ads. Our guest, Chelsey, explains why you can’t measure awareness, consideration, and conversions the same way.

She breaks it down simply:

• Awareness ads should be measured by how many people see them (reach, impressions, CPMs).
• Conversion ads should be measured by results (sales, revenue, ROAS).

Chelsey also talks about how brands can estimate the impact of awareness ads on conversions using smart data models. Plus, she shares tools like GA4 and media mix modeling (MMM) that help brands understand which ads are working best.

Many companies allocate most of their budget to conversion-driving tactics (e.g., search), neglecting awareness efforts. This short-sighted approach provides immediate revenue but limits long-term brand growth by failing to acquire new customers. A well-structured media plan should balance awareness and conversion tactics with proper measurement frameworks tailored to each stage of the funnel.
