THE BASICS

Display Advertising Data Landscape - David Christian
Global Advertising Share by Medium - 2019-2022 - Marketing Charts

The Main Mistake
in paid Advertising campaigns is working in silos.

Digital Media are very complex and to be the most efficient and effective, we must understand actions as ecosystems. Working all teams: strategy, creativity and media together from the beginning is vital. We must all be aligned with the objectives.

Define Key Point Indicators and tools to measure it. The definition of our target audience, with devices, platforms, and formats that are aligned with the objectives of the campaign.

Usually, the media teams work on the campaign at the end of the work process – limiting the richness of planning and the potential for success

Contextual Marketing
We must be as relevant as possible.

This can only be achieved by thinking in the context of the consumer. The segmentation capacity of Digital Media through data is very high.

And if we clearly define the consumer context, then, we will send the correct message in the correct place and at the right moment to maximise the success of the actions.

How to Create Context
Context is built by defining various ingredients.

At what point in the Funnel is the customer? His vital moment?
Understanding what interests them, and what kinds of messages will be relevant to them.
And, of course, which devices, platforms and formats
are more appropriate to send these messages
