Episode 232 Your Ad Dashboard Is Lying To You! Here's Why

What if the numbers you trust most are sending you in the wrong direction? If you trust platform-reported results without testing them, you may optimize spend around the wrong metrics and miss what actually drives customers. Join Brad Friedman and Justin Rashidi as they explore data-driven marketing, digital ads, and Justin's uniquely scientific approach to marketing so you can make better measurement decisions, allocate budget more intelligently, and improve results. If you have ever made marketing decisions based on surface-level metrics, this conversation will challenge how you measure success and help you focus on what really matters. Justin Rashidi is the founder of SeedX, a consultancy that helps medium to mid-market companies improve performance across data, sales, and marketing. In this episode, he explains how scientific thinking and hypothesis-driven testing can help marketers validate what is really happening inside the business. With a background rooted in science and engineering, Justin brings a rigorous, data-first mindset to modern marketing. He focuses on helping companies separate platform claims from actual business impact so teams can make smarter decisions about attribution, budget allocation, and growth.
