Why Reach Beats Creative: Angela Voss and Dale Harrison on the Marketing Math That Matters

ADWEEK's latest podcast episode. ADWEEK By Adweek Staff --> What if reaching more people matters more than creating better ads?

In this episode of Adspeak by ADWEEK, Angela Voss, CEO at Marketing Architects, and Dale Harrison, chief strategy and innovation officer at The Insight Collective, challenge conventional marketing wisdom and explore why broad, consistent reach is essential to driving market share growth.

Recorded live at Brandweek, the conversation examines why hyper-targeting can cause marketers to overlook future customers, how brands can build recall before buyers enter the market, and why overcoming the constant force of forgetting requires sustained audience reach.

Angela and Dale also explore how marketers can balance scale with cost efficiency across linear television and connected TV (CTV), using audience-first media buying and AI to cut costs.

They discuss why no single measurement model can fully capture television’s impact and how combining marketing mix modeling, attribution, and geographic holdout tests can provide a more complete picture of performance.

From smarter media allocation to long-term brand building, this episode offers practical insights into reaching more potential buyers, strengthening brand memory, and creating the conditions for sustainable growth.
