The short answer

What the archive says

01Ecommerce and direct response brands are the most likely to over-index on lower funnel; media sellers are now asking Nielsen to help prove to DR clients that upper funnel matters. source →

02There is a direct relationship between how strong a brand's awareness and consideration are and how efficient its conversion marketing is, so neglecting brand building makes today's conversions harder and more expensive. source →

In their words

What was actually said

Help us show these, you know, DR clients, direct response clients that they should also be focused on upper funnel. Because as both of you have said before, if you don't know about the brand, you can't be interested in it or want to buy it.
