Most ad accounts fail for one simple reason. They treat every customer the same.
Jason Smith, Founder of Spotlight Social Advertising, breaks down how proper funnel segmentation changes everything. From top of funnel prospecting to bottom of funnel retargeting, he explains how to structure campaigns based on actual behavior. One of the biggest mistakes he sees is using long lookback windows. If someone has not engaged in 30 days, they are no longer warm. They need to be brought back through the funnel.
The conversation also dives into real case studies. Brands like Diamondback Tools and Small Pet Select scaled rapidly using this structure, expanded into Pinterest, and unlocked new revenue without relying on a single platform. This episode shows what actually happens when an ad strategy is built for scale, not just short-term performance.
