Get your brand seen, recognised, and remembered — measured by ad recall lift, brand search volume, and reach/frequency.
When to Use
New brand entering market, launching new category, or conversion costs rising because brand isn't known.
Platforms & Formats
Platforms: YouTube (highest completion rates). Instagram Reels (broad reach). TikTok (organic amplification). Facebook (lowest CPM).. Formats: Brand Story (60–90s), Hook Formulas (15–30s curiosity), UGC-Style (authentic recommendation).
Budget
20–30% of total for established brands, 40–60% for new brands. Use reach/views objective NOT conversion. CPM: $5–$15 Meta, $3–$8 TikTok.
Measurement
Brand search volume (Google Trends — should increase 2–4 weeks after). Ad recall lift. Direct traffic increase. NOT conversions.
Common Mistake
