Trust the funnel

In 2024, Joseph Forsyth, Programmatic Manager at dentsu, famously pioneered the term Trust the funnel! To describe how the stages of a programmatic campaign are interlinked in order to drive performance.

The phrase underscores that each stage relies on the preceding one for success.

Marketers should be cognisant that no stage can stand alone without the foundation built by the previous stages.

Trust

According to narkspeak, a trust campaign will be launched at you for several successive weeks before you are betrayed by them. The word will be used over and over, by all sorts of people in your environment. This is a red flag. The narcissists are begging for your trust not because they are trustworthy, but because they are preparing to betray your already eroded trust in them.
