Brand vs Performance – Finding Demand

If performance marketing is more optimized than ever, why is growth getting harder? Finding new demand isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. Audiences are spread across more platforms, discovery is less predictable, and with fewer clear signals, it’s often hard to tell whether you’re reaching new users or just recycling the same demand.

In this session, we’ll look at how brands can find and grow demand in today’s digital ecosystem. We’ll explore the difference between creating demand and capturing it, how brand investment improves acquisition efficiency, and how better signals can help identify the right audiences earlier. Most importantly, we’ll share a practical way to connect long-term demand building with day-to-day UA optimization so growth stays sustainable.

Here’s what we’ll unpack:

  • What’s changed in digital media and why traditional UA approaches are hitting limits
  • Creating demand vs capturing demand: why growth stalls when performance does all the work
  • How brand investment lowers CPAs and improves acquisition efficiency
  • How modern data and mobile signals help identify the right audiences earlier
  • A practical approach to finding and scaling demand
