Comprehensive guidance for planning, executing, and optimizing B2B paid media campaigns across search, social, display, CTV, OOH, and ABM channels — trigger when a user needs help with paid advertising strategy, channel selection, budget allocation, creative approach, audience targeting, or campaign measurement.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# B2B Paid Media Strategy

## Overview
This skill covers paid media strategy for B2B marketers, including channel selection and sequencing, audience targeting, creative development, budget allocation, funnel structure, measurement, and ABM-specific paid tactics. All practices are sourced exclusively from Exit Five podcast guests across 36 episodes. Where guests disagree, those disagreements are surfaced explicitly rather than resolved.

## Channel Selection and Sequencing

### Starting from Zero
When building a paid media program from scratch, sequence channels by mastery difficulty rather than spreading resources across multiple platforms simultaneously. (Note: this is contested — see Where Experts Disagree.)

- Start with a single channel and prove it before expanding. Google Ads/paid search is recommended as the first channel because it is easier to master than social ads and works well when market demand is mature and people actively search for your solution. Only after proving search should you expand to social platforms like LinkedIn. (Source: Domi de Saint-Exupéry, Episode #332)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add the-nam-shub/e5-real-skills/paid-media-strategy@sha256:f9bbb7aa8e784f98

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2026-04-21, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
