Meta CPMs broke a 3-year pattern last week

For the first time since Q2 2022, blended Meta CPMs are declining mid-quarter. Advertisers report softening auction pressure across DTC and finance verticals. We dug into 18 MMP dashboards — here is where the money actually moved.

// This week in marketing

Google silently shipped a new Performance Max diagnostic

A hidden tab inside the PMax report now surfaces audience overlap from YouTube placements. Early numbers suggest 23% of PMax conversions are being double-counted against brand search.

// Tactic of the week

The 12-line cold email that outperformed a $40k brand play

One B2B SaaS operator replaced an entire paid LinkedIn program with a 12-line handwritten outbound sequence. Open rate 74%, reply rate 19%, pipeline $2.1M in 90 days. We broke down every line, every trigger, every CTA.

// Tool spotlight

Finch — the attribution tool that makes MMM feel like magic

Finch blends causal inference with last-click in a single dashboard. It is the first attribution product we have seen that survives a full audit from both finance and growth. $49/mo — absurdly underpriced.
