Pacing is the control of delivery speed across time, budget, and segments. In advertising, it decides whether a campaign spends too fast, too slowly, or at a steady rhythm that makes the data easier to trust.

What teams should do next

Use pacing as part of the strategy, not as a simple budget setting.
