One signal every marketer should pay more attention to

In short

The episode argues marketers should pay more attention to marginal ROAS and incrementality—measuring incremental impact rather than relying on surface-level performance metrics.

Guest

Chester Scott, Chief Strategy Officer at Luneo.

Key claims

Current industry practices often fail to prove overall effectiveness; marketers need better measurement of incremental contribution to drive growth and market share.

Notable examples

The transcript contrasts “cookie cutter” low-success-rate SEO projects with a strategy-first integrated consulting model (Previsible), citing brands like Yelp, eBay, Canva, Atlassian, and Square as relying on those SEO consultants.

0:42I'm Jordan Cooney, and joining me today is Chester Scott, Chief Strategy Officer at Luneo. What is a major marketing signal that digital marketers should be paying more attention to?

From the publisher

Click optimization rewards a fundamentally compromised signal. Chester Scott, Chief Strategy Officer at Lunio, dismantles the two metrics most marketing teams treat as North Stars—clicks and ROAS—and explains why blended efficiency numbers disguise where spend actually delivers. He makes the case for marginal ROAS as the discipline that exposes diminishing returns across channels, platforms, campaigns, and creative, and reframes how enterprise teams should allocate budget for overall effectiveness.
