Side A
Performance
Best for: Direct-response, e-commerce, time-bound goals.
Side B
Brand
Best for: Category leadership, premium positioning, long-arc launches.

Our take
We split mature programs roughly 70/30 performance-to-brand. That ratio keeps near-term revenue moving while continuing to bank the brand equity that lowers paid costs over time.
