If you've ever wondered whether investing in brand awareness is actually worth it, this episode is for you. We dig into why brand awareness gets dismissed as too "soft" to measure, how to actually track it in meaningful ways, and why prioritizing it can transform your marketing results. The reality is simple: customers acquired through product marketing leave the moment a better deal comes along. Customers who connect with your brand stick around, advocate for you, and drive long-term growth that compounds over time. We share practical strategies for building awareness that matters and explain why this underrated metric deserves more of your attention and budget.
