Welcome back to the Grab Your Assets Podcast. In this episode, Adam breaks down what most CPG brands—and agency bros—get completely wrong about strategy: they skip straight to tactics.


This isn’t another “just post more UGC” episode. We’re talking real strategy rooted in Ritson’s four-step framework: Diagnosis, Strategy, Tactics, and Measurement. You’ll learn why running ads without a proper diagnosis is like prescribing meds without a patient. And why most performance plateaus are just symptoms of a deeper positioning problem.


You’ll also get Adam’s take on:


  • LTV:CAC and what that ratio should look like (hint: it’s not 1:1)
  • How segmentation, targeting, and positioning (STP) should drive your content, not the other way around
  • Why most marketers copy the category leader instead of carving their own lane
  • The content strategy mix you actually need (hint: 60% brand, 40% performance)


🎯 If you’re running ads without a brand strategy—or have a brand without a clear category position—this episode will slap you back into focus.
