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.
