Ralph and John return to the "performance kitchen" to unpack a radical shift in digital advertising strategy. Discover why ungated webinar content, pre-click education, and native storytelling inside ad sets are outperforming traditional funnel tactics. John breaks down how a $120 glove brand scaled with a sub-$20 CPA—without touching the campaign for over a month—and why Meta's Andromeda update is forcing advertisers to master content, not just structure. If you're still gating your best material, you're already behind. This is the future of Meta ads—and it starts with feeding the feed, not the funnel.
