Overspending past diminishing returns on paid media
Marketing Efficiency

Added Jun 23, 2026
Brands systematically overspend on paid media channels past the point of diminishing returns because they lack visibility into marginal ROAS curves. Without knowing where the inflection point is, teams default to spending to budget rather than spending to optimal return.
Analysis:
Marginal ROAS optimization is one of the highest-value problems in performance marketing. Tools that can identify and enforce spending efficiency curves across channels could save brands 15-30% of their media budget without reducing revenue.
