TL;DR

A full-funnel strategy layers campaigns across awareness (reach new audiences — YouTube, TikTok, Display, Meta broad targeting), consideration (engage interested users — Meta engagement, Google Search non-brand, content-driven ads), and conversion (close the deal — Google Search brand and high-intent, Meta retargeting, Google Shopping). Each stage uses different creative, targeting, and KPIs. The funnel feeds itself: awareness campaigns build retargeting pools, consideration campaigns identify interested users, and conversion campaigns close. Budget typically splits 20% awareness, 30% consideration, 50% conversion.
