Why ROAS Is The Wrong Metric For Paid Ads

We dissect why Return on Ad Spend remains the dominant but dangerously flawed metric for performance marketers today. Using a specific case of a direct-to-consumer apparel brand that scaled profitably while watching its ROAS collapse, we explain how shifting focus to Contribution Margin per Acquisition reveals the true health of your paid channels. This episode explores the mechanics of blended margins, the impact of rising platform costs, and how to build a dashboard that actually predicts cash flow rather than just optimizing for vanity efficiency.
