Let’s be real.
📉 CPMs are up
📉 CACs are climbing
📉 Your creatives burn out fast
If your TikTok or Meta ROAS is crashing - it’s not the algorithm.
It’s your strategy.
Performance marketing isn’t plug-and-play anymore. Every scroll is a battle for attention.
Here’s how to fix it:
People buy transformations, not products.
Your ad is their first step, not the sale.
Here’s a 3-step fix:
Match the Awareness Stage
Don't sell to people who don’t know they need you.
→ Problem-aware: Emotional hooks & UGC
→ Solution-aware: Proof & comparisons
→ Product-aware: Urgency & offers
Win the First 3 Seconds
Stop the scroll.
→ Use hooks: bold questions, raw UGC, mini-stories
Build for the Funnel
Not every ad should sell.
→ TOF: Educate
→ MOF: Retarget
→ BOF: Close hard
Create like a storyteller.
Think like a psychologist.
Optimize like a scientist.
That’s how you turn the funnel back on in 2025.
