The optimisation engine redistributed spend across active channels based on incremental return signals. Google commands the largest share of spend at $35M, while Meta and Moloco punch above their weight in efficiency.

Optimised Spend by Channel

Google retains the dominant spend position with a marginal -0.3% reduction. Apple and Agency RE each receive a +5% budget increase, while TikTok and Moloco are trimmed by 5%.

Optimised Revenue by Channel

Google drives the largest revenue contribution at $235M. Notably, Meta generates $77.5M in revenue from just $847K in spend — a signal of exceptional incremental efficiency.

Incremental ROAS (iROAS) by Channel

iROAS measures the marginal return on each additional dollar spent — the true signal for budget reallocation decisions.

Meta's iROAS of 91.53x is a standout outlier, indicating significant untapped incremental value. Moloco at 10.00x and Agency RE at 7.06x also outperform the portfolio average of 7.18x.

Key Optimisation Insights

Meta is Severely Underinvested

With an iROAS of 91.53x, Meta delivers extraordinary incremental returns relative to its current spend of under $1M. Even under conservative constraints, this channel warrants serious budget consideration.

Moloco Outperforms at Scale

Despite a 5% spend reduction, Moloco's iROAS of 10.00x remains well above the portfolio average, generating $76.5M in revenue from $7.6M in spend — a highly efficient channel.

TikTok Efficiency Lags

TikTok's iROAS of 2.87x is the lowest among active channels, falling well below the 7.18x portfolio average. The 5% spend reduction reflects its weaker marginal return profile.

Google Anchors the Portfolio

Google's $235M revenue contribution makes it the backbone of the media mix. Its near-flat allocation (-0.3%) reflects a mature, well-saturated channel operating near optimal efficiency.
