For smaller brands, it’s the importance of brand awareness. They typically have smaller budgets and focus on sales or conversions, thus sacrificing new consumer acquisitions at a high rate.
— Justin Higa, Assistant Media Planner

Marketers often set their marketing spend as a percentage of past sales performance or this year’s sales goal. And it’s not a one-size fits all. Brands may not consider where they are in the category landscape when setting their budgets. Newcomers might need to spend more than the typical percentage to gain awareness and the category leader, likewise may need to spend more to defend their market share from new entrants.
