JUNTAE KAI DELANE shows how a client boosted ROAS by 127% while cutting marketing spend by 18% using zero-based budgeting. Most teams waste 37% of budget on unproven channels. His method identifies overspending, like a $230,000/month paid search waste, and builds scenario plans for different business conditions.
You know what keeps me up at night? Seeing how much marketing budgets get wasted on the wrong channel. I recently helped a client increase their ROAS by 127% while reducing their spend by 18. So let me show you how most marketing budgets are basically just last year's plan with a few tweaks. We implement a zero based budget framework. Now. It changed everything. So here's what you want to do. First, the clean state approach. Marketing teams start from zero and require every dollar to prove its value. One team found that 37% of their budget was going to channels they couldn't even prove working. Then we did a diminishing returns analysis. Teams can identify exactly where additional spend stops delivering results. In one case, a team was overspending on paid search by $230,000 per month past the point of effectiveness. The final piece was creating a scenario planning system. Creating multiple budget frameworks for different business conditions allow for greater adaptability. The results speak for themselves. By implementing this framework, organizations can significantly improve the return or often reducing their total spend.
