Brand vs acquisition? What would you’d rather work on? Is there life in acquisition outside of paid search and retargeting or do all cool things happen on the other side?

I’d say both. I’d rather work full funnel than just a certain part of it. It’s more rewarding to see a campaign message push a consumer through all touch points. And I’d say there’s more to acquisition outside search and retargeting. You can use programmatic display, Video, CTV and social (other than retargeting) to run lower funnel media. It’s all in the data. Leveraging a DMP with 1P & 3P data to build audiences to hit the right target + a killer CTA is the key to acquisition, not just a pixel on site using cookies to retarget.

Brand is more interesting. Acquisition takes head, not heart, and so it’s just more defined and objective. To me that’s boring.

Agree with the above, I’d also recommend viewing them together in a more holistic approach.....budgeting for programmatic display is different than analyzing how branded search traffic is evolving.

I’m generally not interested in working on any acquisition work if I haven’t also been able to do brand stuff.

It’s all acquisition.

What if you have a leaky bucket?

I understood 1/3 of the words in you post.

That’s okay

As someone in the job market id get acquisition under your belt- everyone needs and requires it at this point.
Be the person that finds a way to use data to make brilliant lower funnel work

Thank you!

One way to think about it is that marketing is demand generation, advertising demand fulfillment, and brand is demand retention. There is certainly life outside of paid search, the SEO space is pretty cool.

-A new VP of Account Management starts, observes the team and they’re not happy with us. Overarching feedback is our whole team is too passive.
I excel in leading by influence vs going to a place of power which I guess could be seen as “passive”? What would you do with such broad feedback?
