Most marketing teams are obsessed with one question: how are we doing? It sounds reasonable. It is also one of the fastest ways to stall your growth, because "doing" what, exactly? When an entire company rallies around a single KPI, and that KPI is almost always ROAS, you create one behavior: optimize the bottom of the funnel forever. And that is how growth quietly dies.

Diagnosing Rising nCAC: Why Your Offer Might Not Be the Problem 

When your paid media costs start creeping up, the natural reaction is to panic. Most founders and agencies immediately start "thrashing"—changing the offer, the landing page, the product bundles, and the creative.

The Retargeting Trap : How OneCore Media Got SweetLegs More New Customers on Half the Spend

WHAT IS THE RETARGETING TRAP?

The retargeting trap is a marketing failure where brands unknowingly spend their budget re-acquiring existing customers instead of finding new ones. It creates a treacherous paradox: platform ROAS looks high, often 6x to 10x, while actual new customer growth stays flat. Using FunnelVision to audit their retargeting loops, the agency OneCore Media helped its client SweetLegs generate more revenue and more new customers on roughly half the ad spend. Here is how.

LAST-CLICK ATTRIBUTION FOR ECOMMERCE  : WHEN TO USE IT AND WHEN IT LIES TO YOU

Last-click attribution is the most widely used model in ecommerce, and also the most widely misunderstood. It is not useless, and it is not evil. It is a narrow lens that is genuinely useful for some questions and dangerously misleading for others. The problem is that most platforms default to it, so most marketers end up making broad budget decisions through a lens built for a much smaller job. Here is what last-click actually does, when it is fine to rely on, and when it will quietly lead you to spend in the wrong places.

PINTEREST ATTRIBUTION : HOW TO TRACK THE REAL ROI OF A SLOW-BURN CHANNEL

Pinterest is one of the most misjudged channels in ecommerce advertising, and the reason is timing. Pinterest users are often in the research and inspiration phase, saving ideas and planning purchases they will make weeks or months later. That makes Pinterest a powerful demand-creation channel, and it also makes it one of the easiest channels to undervalue, because the sale it started often closes much later through another touch. If you judge Pinterest on last-click or a short platform window, you will almost certainly underrate it. Here is how to track the real ROI of your Pinterest ads.
