Are YouTube ads finally better than TV for building a local brand, or is broadcast still king when you need daily reach and real frequency? 🤔

Brandon sits down with Kyle to unpack what we’re seeing across millions in ad spend: CPMs, skip rates, watch time, and the one factor that keeps TV (often) ahead for “tomorrow marketing.” 

We also cover when YouTube does win—and how to plug it into a media plan without wasting budget.

What you’ll learn:

• TV vs YouTube: real CPMs we’re seeing (and why cheap CPMs can still be expensive)
• The skip problem: average watch time on 15s and 30s—and what that means for brand lift
• Why predictable frequency beats random impressions for becoming a household name
• When to allocate ~10% to YouTube (and when not to)
• Why OTT/CTV CPMs look pretty but rarely pencil out for small/local brands

If you’re trying to pick the best top-of-funnel media for 0–$100M businesses, this episode will save you money (and a few headaches).
