Performance Marketing

Performance Marketing

PPC, paid social, and conversion-rate insights that turn ad spend into measurable business growth.

Performance marketing promises to turn spend into revenue with mathematical confidence. The maths only holds when the inputs are honest.

The category has drifted over the past three years. Attribution models that worked in 2019 now over-credit the last paid click by a factor nobody wants to quantify. Auction dynamics have shifted toward broad match and automated bidding, which works brilliantly when the feedback loop is clean and catastrophically when it is not. And CFOs have stopped accepting ROAS as a proxy for profit, which has left a lot of teams scrambling to rebuild reporting from the ground up.

Our performance-marketing articles are written for operators who have to defend their spend in a boardroom. That means incrementality over attribution theatre, marginal-ROAS thinking over blended-average complacency, and a frank acknowledgement that the platforms will always optimise for their revenue first and yours second.

What you'll find here

Performance marketing done well is the most accountable line item in the marketing budget. Done badly, it is the most expensive way to learn what does not work. These articles are about staying firmly on the accountable side.

LinkedIn Ads for B2B SaaS: the playbook that actually pays backPerformance Marketing

LinkedIn Ads for B2B SaaS: the playbook that actually pays back

Most B2B SaaS LinkedIn Ads accounts are quietly losing money on the metric that looks best in the dashboard. Cost per lead. The CPL number that the platform optimises toward is inversely correlated with the SQL rate, the pipeline rate, and the closed-won rate in roughly every account we have audited in the last two years. The playbook that actually pays back inverts the order of operations: start with the pipeline math, work backwards into the funnel architecture, choose the ad format that fits the offer rather than the format that fits the dashboard, and treat LinkedIn's last-click attribution as a starting point for the conversation with sales, not as the source of truth. This is the operator-grade walk-through of audience layering, creative selection, measurement stack, and budget allocation we run on every B2B SaaS account we inherit.

This is the operator's framework for choosing the right Smart Bidding strategy for the conversion volume, margin profile, and growth stage you actually have, plus the migration plan that gets you off Manual CPC without burning a quarter of pipeline.
