Creative graduation: prove a message on Meta, then YouTube, then commit the TV budget

Creative graduation: use performance channels, where data is cheap and immediate, to test as many angles, creators and messages as possible; graduate the winners to a higher-production YouTube ad, another channel with reliable metrics; once it works there, commit the budget to TV and extend the same message into PR, the website and organic. Every step adds confidence, and the result is one unified message across channels.
