Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) has been the go-to metric for measuring success in digital advertising, but is it actually holding your business back? In this episode, we break down why traditional ROAS is misleading, how agencies manipulate data to appear successful, and what you should be focusing on instead. John Moran joins the conversation to discuss the metrics that actually drive growth, including Media Efficiency Ratio (MER) and New Customer Acquisition Cost (NCAC). Learn how to shift your marketing strategy to prioritize long-term scalability and profitability, rather than short-term vanity metrics.
