In more detail
Brand awareness sits at the top of the funnel. Before anyone buys or follows, they have to know you exist and recall you when the moment comes. It splits into two parts: recognition (people spot your name or logo when they see it) and recall (your brand comes to mind on its own when they think of your category). On social media you build it with consistent posting, a recognizable voice, and a look that stays the same across platforms. It is hard to tie directly to sales, so people track it with proxy signals instead of one clean number.
Example
Say you run a small coffee roaster. A brand awareness goal is not "sell 50 bags this week," it is getting 10,000 local people to know your name and associate it with good coffee. You measure progress through reach, follower growth, branded search volume, and how often people mention or tag you, not just direct orders.
