Performance Marketing Strategy Overview
Prepared by Paul Skirbe
• Define what Performance Marketing means and the value it provides to drive business
outcomes
PURPOSE
• Every single day, there are moments where people are raising their hand, signaling an
interest in a brand’s territory (this is pretty subjective, but essentially it’s anything directly
or indirectly related to your brand.)
• A Brand has the opportunity to own these customer moments and drive someone
(closer) to the point of purchase.
• Performance Marketing allows a brand to identify and respond to those moments and
ultimately enabling marketers to drive better business outcomes.
