This mattress retailer learned an expensive lesson about the Lower Funnel Trap.
They cut brand-building spend by 39% to chase immediate sales. Their competitor did the opposite, investing in awareness and expanding their stores. Result? The competitor crushed them in search volume by 62%.
We reversed the damage with a full-funnel strategy that met customers at every stage:
βœ“ Rebuilt brand authority through streaming TV and sports inventory
βœ“ Used life event data to reach buyers before they started searching
βœ“ Dominated search with aggressive branded and competitor keyword strategies
The results: 30% sales growth, 123% increase in consideration-attributed sales, and 72% improvement in programmatic ROAS.
Long-funnel brands need long-funnel strategies. See how they turned it around.

He's worked at independent agencies and gained client-side experience at Dick's Sporting Goods, giving him a perspective that spans both traditional and digital media buying.
What really caught our attention? Luca's passion for combating programmatic ad fraudβ€”a billion-dollar problem that most agencies would rather ignore.

Welcome to the team, Luca!

Our team spent Friday at the 2025 Ad Relief Luncheon.
Ad Relief does something important: they help advertising professionals when life throws them a crisis they didn't see coming. Medical emergencies. Natural disasters. The kind of hardship that doesn't pause for deadlines or budgets.
The room was full of people who understand that community means showing up when someone needs it.
We talk a lot about strategy and metrics in this business. But this? This is the work that actually changes lives.
Proud to support Ad Relief and everyone who makes it possible.

Here's what's really happening to your marketing budget.
Last-click attribution erases the full-funnel touchpoints that drive conversions. High-funnel channels creating awareness get defunded first because they're not getting credit.
Your pipeline narrows. Conversions get expensive. Competitors with better attribution gain ground.
Nielsen found brands adding upper-funnel media saw 70% higher ROI when paired with mid-funnel efforts.

When COVID hit, Sit 'n Sleep did what seemed smart. Cut brand advertising and focus only on immediate sales. But there's a trap in that thinking.

While they focused on the "bottom of the funnel," their competitor invested in building brand awareness AND opened stores across the region.

The result? They fell way behind in customer interest and search volume.

So how did they turn it around?
They went back to the fundamentals and started meeting customers at EVERY stage of their journey. Top of funnel with streaming TV and sports ads to rebuild trust and awareness. Middle of funnel using smart targeting on social media to reach people before they even started shopping. Bottom of funnel through strategic search ads and retargeting to capture ready-to-buy customers.

The results were incredible. β†’ 30% growth in total sales β†’ More than double the consideration-driven sales β†’ Major improvements in advertising efficiency

The takeaway? Quick wins are tempting, but sustainable growth comes from showing up for your customers throughout their entire journey, not just when they're ready to buy.

Last-click gives 100% credit to the final search click. Zero credit to the CTV ad from three weeks ago. Zero to the YouTube ad that drove the website visit.
So you cut awareness spending. Brand discovery drops. Fewer people search for you. Low-funnel performance suffers. The cycle accelerates.
This is one of five thinking traps sabotaging growth.

Our Story

Wingman Media is the only response-driven media agency to specialize in companies that sell considered purchases - cars, solar panels, mortgages, windows, high end home goods, engagement rings and other big ticket items with low purchase frequency and little consumer product knowledge. Wingman Media was founded in 2003 by Entrepreneur and Broadcast Media Veteran Steve Dubane. Taking what he learned from two decades creating successful media campaigns for clients that sell considered purchases, Steve set out with a simple mission: "To make our clients rich and our mothers proud.” Wingman has since grown from a small start-up into an award-winning media agency with a track record for success. Our campaigns scale profitably and have changed the trajectory of our clients’ businesses.
