Pre-GTM / Strategy — Paid Channel Strategy

Paid media is bigger than Google, Meta, and LinkedIn ads.

The strategic question is not simply where you can buy an ad. It is where paid visibility is relevant to the audience and useful to the business.

01 — The hindrance

A familiar ad platform is not automatically a good channel.

Starting with platform names can push the strategy toward inventory rather than audience relevance.

Spend without a clear reason for the channel can create activity without a durable path to growth.

02 — The alternative

Identify relevant channels that can produce useful short-term signals.

Evaluate whether those signals can support a channel that scales over the longer term.

The direction

A paid-channel direction grounded in relevance, near-term learning, and long-term potential.

Pressure-test the fit
