The business
A consumer brand outgrowing saturated mobile social auctions and preparing to build broader household recall across regional or national markets without buying blind traditional linear television.
The challenge
Rising social CPMs stall growth when nobody searches the brand name yet, while conventional linear broadcast commitments offer sluggish feedback and opaque audience verification.
The opportunity
Combine addressable OTT/Connected TV and YouTube streaming video—deployed only where regional inventory and budget thresholds make sense—with tightly synchronized Search, Shopping, and Meta retargeting to convert rising brand curiosity into measurable sales.
The system
Living-room OTT/CTV video introduces the category narrative with frequency caps and geographic targeting where supported. YouTube mid-funnel explainers deepen product understanding, while branded Google Search, Shopping, and Meta retargeting capture prospects the moment they search or revisit on mobile.
Architecture
Addressable OTT/CTV + YouTube reach (frequency-capped) → halo search & direct demand → Google Search & Meta retargeting capture → checkout / offer flow → blended MER & cohort payback tracking.

Before → After
Manual handoffs. Duplicated data. Follow-up depends on memory.
One intelligent layer. Context preserved. Humans where judgement matters.
The human handoff
Leadership reviews weekly blended MER alongside regional search lift rather than forcing awareness channels to compete against bottom-funnel last-click ROAS.
