The hook

Most startups run six channels badly. Two channels run well outperform all six, at a third of the spend.

Intent · Pick the two channels your segment actually lives in, instrument them under privacy-first measurement, and build a compounding content and demand engine.

Take this if

Six signals you are leaking this value

01

Spend rising, CAC rising faster

02

Attribution broke and nobody rebuilt it

03

Content published on cadence, not on intent

04

No organic compounding — everything is paid

05

Invisible in AI answer engines

06

Landing pages convert under 1%

About the course

We start from where the segment forms intent, then build channel-by-channel yield models: cost per qualified opportunity, not cost per click.

Content is treated as an asset class with a compounding curve, mapped to buyer questions and driver outcomes.

2026 additions: generative-engine optimisation (being cited by AI assistants), first-party data and server-side measurement after cookie deprecation, incrementality testing over last-click, and creative velocity in paid social.

Tools you will use

  • Channel yield model
  • Content pillar map
  • GEO/SEO audit
  • Incrementality test design

Prerequisite

Access to your analytics and ad accounts.
