What You'll Learn

Six frameworks in one playbook

🎯

Full-Funnel Platform Map

Assign each platform a specific funnel role — awareness, consideration, conversion, or test — instead of measuring everything against the same ROAS target.

📈

Triangulated Measurement

Combine MMM, incrementality testing, and multi-touch attribution into one source of truth. Stop relying on each platform's self-reported metrics.

AI Campaign Convergence

Deploy PMax, Advantage+, Smart Performance, and Performance+ with clean conversion data. Let the machines optimize while you keep strategic control.

🔒

First-Party Signal Architecture

Build a five-layer data stack from customer touchpoints through server-side tracking to unified dashboards — no enterprise budget required.

💰

70/20/10 Budget Framework

Allocate 70% to proven channels, 20% to adjacent experiments, 10% to bold tests. Rebalance dynamically based on performance signals.

🚀

90-Day Unified Launch Plan

A concrete three-phase roadmap: Foundation (Days 1-30), Launch (Days 31-60), Optimize (Days 61-90). Execute the transition from siloed to unified.
