Common questions answered
What is the difference between brand and performance marketing?
Brand marketing builds awareness and preference over time. It makes people want to choose you when they're ready. Performance marketing drives immediate, measurable actions like clicks or purchases. Both are necessary: brand creates demand while performance captures it.
Should small businesses focus on brand or performance marketing?
Small businesses often over-invest in performance marketing because results are easier to measure. But without brand awareness, performance campaigns compete for a limited pool of people already searching. The most effective approach builds awareness to expand your market while using performance tactics to convert.
How do you measure brand marketing effectiveness?
Brand marketing is measured through awareness surveys, branded search volume, direct traffic to your website, and ultimately sales lift over time. It's harder to measure than performance marketing but the effects compound. Many businesses notice that performance marketing works better after building brand awareness.
Can TV advertising be performance marketing?
CTV advertising bridges both. It builds brand awareness like traditional TV but offers digital-like targeting and measurement. You can see impressions, track website visits from viewers, and measure sales lift. This makes TV more accountable while retaining its brand-building power.
