Overview image

Core framework

Define buyer journeys, map intent signals, and build audience cohorts with first-party and contextual data. Prioritize segments by conversion potential and CPA targets.

Rapid creative testing matrix: value props, formats, and CTAs. Use winning variations to inform landing pages and retargeting sequences.

Hybrid bidding approach: start with cost controls + signal amplification, then scale via ROAS targets and dayparting. Allocate incremental budgets to top performers.

Combine deterministic events with modeled attribution to inform expansion decisions. Maintain test-control windows and guardrail budgets while scaling.
