> The problem is that the outcome of some campaigns doesn't reflect in dollars, and still you have a winning campaign.

All winning campaigns reflect in dollars. The question is when. That's why it's imperative to separate markets entirely.

Radio ads for a "branding/awareness" strategy. Search ads for a direct response strategy. The majority of people viewing/hearing one should never hear/view the other.

If it takes 6 months to properly test a branding campaign, decide ahead of time whether your organization has the patience to wait. If not, just stick with direct response.

Also, Scientific Advertising was written in 1923.
