If you’re tired of marketing platitudes and ready to dive into what truly moves the needle, this podcast is essential listening. Andrew Faris challenges prevailing myths, arguing that effective media buying is far from dead, especially for Meta ads, and remains a significant driver of growth when integrated with sound financial planning [1] .
