John Moran, a digital marketing strategist at Tier 11 who specializes in paid media optimization and creative sequencing. He discusses why cutting ads by CPA can be misleading. Short takes on Meta Andromeda’s impact, creative sequencing with UGC, and experiments showing ads with poor early CPA can still drive add-to-carts. Advice centers on measuring contribution across stages rather than last-click CPA.

They argue the classic marketing funnel is obsolete and channel silos mislead performance decisions. They show why shifting some ad spend into content and better product pages can boost conversions more than pouring money into ads. They reveal cross-platform halo effects, Amazon-specific risks like lack of customer ownership and arbitrage, and why measuring MER and including content costs matters for real growth.

They argue that traditional funnels are outdated and social comments now act like a sales floor. A $4,000 hammock case study shows emotional storytelling can unlock high-ticket sales. They explain building a mini funnel inside Meta ads and warn against relying solely on Google or Amazon. The episode stresses weaving brand purpose and feeling into performance marketing.

They argue the classic funnel is outdated and introduce full-funnel thinking. The conversation spotlights post-click experiences and why comments on ads and social media are hidden sales opportunities. Practical tactics are shared for turning replies and DMs into conversions, scheduling comment work, and using AI and tools to scale conversational selling.

They challenge the old rigid funnel approach and explain why it often fails on Meta. They unpack audience segmentation and why engaged audiences can beat cold prospects. Learn about the “Five Horsemen” campaign structure, view-through versus click-through splits, and using reach and UGC to lower downstream costs. Creative diversification and turning organic reels into paid assets are highlighted as core tactics.
