| 37 | ## Funnel Stage Definitions |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ### Stage 1: TOFU (Top of Funnel) — Awareness |
| 40 | |
| 41 | **Objective:** Introduce the brand to cold audiences who have never heard of the business. Maximize reach and initial engagement at the lowest cost. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | **Campaign Objective by Platform:** |
| 44 | - **Meta:** Brand Awareness or Reach campaign objective |
| 45 | - **Google:** Display Network campaigns, YouTube awareness (TrueView), Discovery ads |
| 46 | - **LinkedIn:** Brand Awareness objective, Sponsored Content |
| 47 | |
| 48 | **Audience Targeting (Cold):** |
| 49 | - Interest-based targeting aligned to industry |
| 50 | - Lookalike/Similar audiences built from customer lists (1%-3% lookalike) |
| 51 | - Broad demographic targeting with exclusions (exclude existing customers) |
| 52 | - In-market audiences (Google) for people actively researching |
| 53 | - Job title / industry / company size targeting (LinkedIn) |
| 54 | |
| 55 | **Ad Format Recommendations:** |
| 56 | | Platform | Best TOFU Formats | Why | |
| 57 | |---|---|---| |
| 58 | | Meta | Video ads (15-30s), Carousel (educational), Reels | Video drives lowest CPM and highest reach. Reels get organic boost. | |
| 59 | | Google Display | Responsive Display Ads, YouTube bumper ads (6s), TrueView | Massive reach at low cost. YouTube builds brand recall. | |
| 60 | | LinkedIn | Single Image + thought leadership, Video ads | Professional context builds authority. Sponsored articles for depth. | |
| 61 | |
| 62 | **Copy Angle (TOFU):** |
| 63 | - Lead with the PROBLEM, not the solution |
| 64 | - Use pattern-interrupt hooks: surprising stats, bold claims, contrarian takes |
| 65 | - NO hard sell — educate, entertain, or provoke curiosity |
| 66 | - End with soft CTA: "Learn more" / "See how" / "Watch this" |
| 67 | |
| 68 | **Copy Templates:** |
| 69 | |
| 70 | ``` |
| 71 | TOFU Hook Formula 1 — Stat Shock: |
| 72 | "[X%] of [audience] are [doing thing wrong]. Here's what [successful people] do instead." |
| 73 | |
| 74 | TOFU Hook Formula 2 — Contrarian: |
| 75 | "Stop [common advice]. It's costing you [money/time/results]." |
| 76 | |
| 77 | TOFU Hook Formula 3 — Curiosity Gap: |
| 78 | "We spent [time/money] testing [thing]. The results changed everything." |
| 79 | |
| 80 | TOFU Hook Formula 4 — Enemy: |
| 81 | "[Industry] doesn't want you to know this about [topic]." |
| 82 | ``` |
| 83 | |
| 84 | **Landing Page Requirements:** |
| 85 | - Blog post, video, or educational content page |
| 86 | - NO hard sell forms above the fold |
| 87 | - Email opt-in with lead magnet (checklist, guide, calculator) as secondary CTA |
| 88 | - Pixel/tag installed for retargeting pool building |
| 89 | - Page load time under 3 seconds |
| 90 | |
| 91 | **KPIs to Track:** |
| 92 | | KPI | Target Benchmark | |
| 93 | |---|---| |
| 94 | | CPM (Cost per 1,000 impressions) | $5-$15 (Meta), $2-$8 (Google Display), $30-$80 (LinkedIn) | |
| 95 | | Video View Rate (VVR) | >25% (Meta), >20% (YouTube) | |
