Strategic Blueprint Development: Crafting a clear, actionable roadmap for your performance marketing efforts across various channels.
Performance Audit & Diagnosis: Meticulously reviewing existing campaigns, identifying inefficiencies, and pinpointing areas for significant improvement.
Data & Attribution Strategy: Helping you establish robust tracking, develop multi-touch attribution models, and unify data for clearer performance insights.
Funnel Optimization Guidance: Providing expert recommendations to enhance each stage of your conversion funnel, from ad creative to landing page experience.
Team Upskilling & Enablement: Equipping your in-house marketing teams with the knowledge, best practices, and innovative strategies needed to manage and optimize campaigns effectively.

This advisory service allows businesses to leverage top-tier expertise without the need for full-scale outsourcing, building internal capabilities and ensuring long-term strategic advantage.

TBD's Distinctive Approach to Performance Marketing Consultation: The Executional-Intelligence Loop in Advisory

At TBD, we view Performance Marketing Consultation not just as providing recommendations, but as delivering actionable intelligence that empowers your team. Our methodology is deeply integrated with our proprietary "Executional-Intelligence Loop" and "AI-Native Consulting" framework. This ensures that our strategic guidance is not only rooted in human expertise but also continuously informed, validated, and optimized by intelligent, adaptive systems, leading to more precise and impactful advice.

Data-Driven Foundations for Unrivaled Strategic Insights

Every impactful consultation begins with a profound understanding of your current performance, market position, and growth ambitions. We meticulously analyze your existing campaign data, audience segments, competitive landscape, and broader market trends. This extensive data gathering, often processed and contextualized by advanced AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), forms the bedrock of our strategic recommendations. We aim to pinpoint untapped opportunities, diagnose underlying inefficiencies, and identify the most impactful levers for growth, ensuring our advice is precise, actionable, and rooted in clear insights.

AI-Native Consulting & Automation: Enhancing Strategic Foresight

Our commitment to AI-Native Consulting is a significant advantage in providing superior Performance Marketing Consultation. We believe you can dramatically enhance your strategic foresight, identify hidden growth opportunities, and unlock unprecedented efficiency in your performance marketing efforts by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and automation in our advisory process.

AI-Driven Performance Audits: We utilize AI to rapidly analyze vast datasets from your existing campaigns, identifying anomalies, budget inefficiencies, and underperforming segments with a speed and depth impossible through manual review. This forms the basis of our diagnostic insights.
The Executional-Intelligence Loop in Consultation: This proprietary TBD framework allows us to simulate and test strategic hypotheses. By feeding theoretical adjustments or new strategies into an AI-powered feedback loop, we can forecast potential outcomes and refine our recommendations before they are implemented. This continuous, intelligent feedback loop ensures our strategic advice is always learning, adapting to simulated market responses, and improving its effectiveness dynamically.
Predictive Optimization Recommendations: Beyond just reacting to current data, our AI capabilities enable us to use predictive analytics. This allows us to anticipate market shifts, forecast campaign performance based on proposed strategies, and recommend optimal bidding strategies and budget allocation proactively. Our advice is designed to keep your campaigns one step ahead.
Competitor Performance Benchmarking: AI tools allow us to conduct in-depth analyses of competitor performance marketing strategies, identifying their strengths, weaknesses, and potential opportunities for your brand to gain a competitive edge.

This intelligent automation empowers our consultants to provide richer, more nuanced strategic guidance. We spend less time on manual data crunching and more time on high-level strategic thinking, innovative solutions, and tailoring advice specifically to your business needs, resulting in superior outcomes.

Holistic Integration for Enduring Strategic Advantage

We view Performance Marketing Consultation as crucial for integrating your paid efforts into a cohesive, high-performing growth ecosystem. Our strategies are designed to align seamlessly with your overall business objectives, broader marketing initiatives (owned and earned media), and sales processes. We collaborate closely with your internal teams or existing agencies to ensure that our strategic recommendations enhance your core product features, streamline internal workflows, and unify your data across all systems, fostering a cohesive and intelligent operational environment for sustained growth.

Leveraging Founder Expertise for Visionary Strategic Guidance

Our approach is uniquely informed by the extensive experience of our co-founders. Sudhansh Jadon's profound expertise in negotiating multi-million dollar media partnerships with industry titans like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Flipkart provides invaluable insights into leveraging platforms for maximum reach and efficiency – insights he can impart directly to your team. Akanksha Madiraju's deep experience across APAC in performance, programmatic, and marketplaces, coupled with her pioneering work in AI and automation (including piloting AI-based e-commerce consultancy upsells), ensures that our advisory strategies are not only cutting-edge but also globally informed, practically executable, and aligned with real-world business ecosystems.

AI in Performance Marketing Consultation: Deep Dive into Application
