Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Paid media should amplify what’s already working — not patch a broken funnel. If you can’t attract, convert, or retain customers organically, paid media won’t fix that — it’ll just magnify the inefficiency at a higher cost per acquisition. You end up in a cycle of overpaying to convert the same customers your competitors are also chasing.
A 2023 Nielsen study found 55% of sales impact comes from brand-building channels, while performance channels account for only 45%. Yet, most businesses over-invest in short-term activation because it’s “trackable.”
That’s short-termism — and it’s expensive.
Strong brands aren’t playing the short game. They know:
That’s where Out-of-Home (OOH) shines. With guaranteed reach, zero auction inflation, and mass awareness at scale, OOH builds mental availability — the psychological shortcut people use when making buying decisions (Byron Sharp, How Brands Grow).
A Meta & Kantar CrossMedia study (2022) found adding OOH to digital campaigns increased ROI by up to 23%, especially when paired with
high-quality creative.
And a MOVE 1.5 analysis (2023) in Australia showed campaigns with OOH experienced a 14% higher uplift in branded search compared to
digital-only campaigns.

out-of-home keeps you in that decision set, driving preference before performance channels take credit.
It’s easy to fall into the comfort zone of trackable clicks. But performance without brand support leads to plateauing returns, especially in saturated markets. Without a strong top-of-funnel strategy, you:
As Les Binet and Peter Field’s long-term research (IPA Databank) shows, brands with balanced brand + activation spend achieve higher market
share growth and more stable, cost-effective marketing performance.
If your ROAS is declining, your funnel likely isn’t broken — it’s underfed.
Clicks close sales. Brand builds demand. Get both working together — and your results will follow.
