Key takeaways: - How to make smarter budget allocation decisions between brand and demand under revenue pressure - Ways to connect brand investment to commercial metrics that resonate with finance and the board - Practical approaches to integrating brand and performance teams around shared growth goals - How to protect long-term brand equity without missing short-term pipeline targets
