Balancing Brand and Performance Marketing | Measuring Up Episode 1 Part 2

Stacking Growth | The B2B Marketing Podcast

Matt Sciannella hosts Dale Harrison in a three part summer event series to cover the intricacies of Brand and Performance marketing. This is the second part of the first episode, covering how brand and performance can work together as well as common mistakes and limitations of each.

Dale emphasizes that brand ads should aim at building durable memory associations with future buyers, who represent a significant 95% of potential consumers not actively in market. He explains the importance of creating brief, impactful brand ads designed to refresh memories. He also highlights the unimodal nature of performance ads, designed to trigger immediate actions among the 5% of consumers in-market. He cautions against including multiple calls to action in any single performance ad to avoid cognitive overload and reduced effectiveness.

Matt and Dale also cover the limits of performance ads in forming long-term brand memories and investigate how cognitive psychology plays a part in ad memory retention. They mention performance ads often lack impact due to generic offers, and share compelling insights into how rebranding can erase prior brand memories, highlighting the value of consistent brand assets over time.

Tune in soon for part three of this enlightening episode.
