But an over-reliance on lower-funnel tactics is a short-term strategy at best\u2014and a costly one at worst. If your acquisition costs start climbing, it could be a sign your brand needs more than just a performance play; it needs a strategy that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/solutions\/brand-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">balances brand building with sales<\/a>.<br><br>&#8220;What do you do once you tap out your growth with just performance marketing? Because only so many people that know about you will search for you, so you have to look beyond that to generate future demand,&#8221; Jain said. <br><br>A brandformance approach redefines how you connect with consumers across every stage of the funnel. By blending brand and performance, it ensures immediate sales don\u2019t come at the expense of long-term brand value. It aims to both nurture brand affinity and prime audiences for future purchases\u2014rather than one-off transactions.\u00a0\u00a0<br><br>This long-term perspective is critical. In a crowded market, where consumers\u2019 loyalty can waver with the latest offer or flashy product, a brandformance mindset is critical to create brand stickiness. This isn\u2019t about just driving a sale today\u2014it\u2019s about creating a repeat customer tomorrow.\u00a0<br><br>But here\u2019s the thing: This kind of marketing strategy takes time to pay off.\u00a0<br><br>Brands investing in upper-funnel media should expect a six-month patience period before seeing measurable gains. That can feel like a long time in a results-driven industry, but it\u2019s this commitment that differentiates brands with lasting impact from those that fade after the initial splash. With consistency, the cumulative effect of combining brand-building and performance marketing leads to increased conversions and a reduced reliance on costly acquisition strategies.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"block-assets-and-copy js-block-assets-and-copy\"\n\tdata-variant=\"copy-only\"\n\tdata-content-align=\"start\"\n>\n\t<h2\tclass=\"text text-sans-48 block-assets-and-copy__title\"\n\tdata-animation=\"slide\" data-animation-target=\"words\" >Brandformance in action<\/h2><div\tdata-animation=\"slide-fade\" data-animation-target=\"inner-items-separate\" data-animation-delay=\"0.15\" data-animation-stagger=\"0.2\" class=\"block-assets-and-copy__content\" >\n\t<p\tclass=\"text text-sans-24 block-assets-and-copy__text\"\n\t>Effective brandformance means creating strategies that work across the entire funnel, adapting to your brand\u2019s unique goals with a focus on driving long-term growth.\u00a0<br><br>\u201cWhether it\u2019s through brand or performance campaigns, in the end, our clients are mainly looking to make an impact on their business \u2026 We know that to create sustainable business growth, brand and performance campaigns go hand-in-hand.\u201d &#8211; Nelleke van Grinsven, Marketing Director, EMEA DEPT\u00ae\u00a0<br><br>Here are three examples we shared during the event of DEPT\u00ae clients\u2019 brandformance efforts:<\/p><\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block-image-and-fact block-image-and-fact--border-top\" data-theme=\"light\">\n\t<p\tclass=\"text text-sans-32-48 block-image-and-fact__title\"\n\tdata-animation=\"slide\" data-animation-target=\"words\" >Blue Apron: full-funnel media for conversion lift<\/p><p\tclass=\"text text-sans-24-28 block-image-and-fact__text\"\n\tdata-animation=\"slide\" data-animation-target=\"paragraphs\" data-animation-stagger=\"0.01\" data-animation-delay=\"0.15\" >For Blue Apron, the DEPT\u00ae team introduced programmatic channels like Display and Video to drive incremental conversions that their existing paid and organic channels weren\u2019t capturing.

Invest purposefully across the funnel<br><\/strong>One of the most important elements of brandformance is knowing where to allocate budget to get the highest return across all funnel stages. At DEPT\u00ae, we use marginality analysis and incrementality testing to determine where each investment will drive the most growth, whether in upper-funnel brand awareness or mid-funnel engagement. This disciplined approach helps you avoid overspending while ensuring you\u2019re nurturing customers at every step of the journey.<br><br><strong>2. Embrace a data-driven, experimental mindset<br><\/strong>Incremental testing allows your brand to fine-tune its strategy as you go, adjusting investments based on real-time insights without sacrificing the broader brand narrative. By analyzing everything from customer journey maps to competitive benchmarks, you can maximize the impact of their full-funnel efforts, continuously improving campaign effectiveness.<br><br><strong>3. Commit to the patience period<br><\/strong>Brandformance is a long game, not a quick win. It can take months before the full impact of upper-funnel brand marketing is visible. It\u2019s crucial for marketing leaders to align with finance teams on the value of this patience period\u2014showing that the payoff isn\u2019t always immediate but will yield sustainable returns over time.\u00a0<br><br><strong>4. Deliver consistency<br><\/strong>Consumers encounter brands across dozens of touchpoints\u2014from digital ads to in-store displays\u2014and expect the same experience at every interaction. It\u2019s critical to ensure each asset is on-brand, personalized, and optimized for specific stages of the funnel.
