Use Reporting Insights to Increase Engagement while Avoiding Oversaturation

Ads are everywhere

From desktops, laptops, TVs, and mobile devices to billboards and kiosks, ads truly are everywhere you turn today. The number of digital ads served across all platforms continues to grow year-over-year, with an especially significant increase of 13.2% predicted for the end of 2024. An additional 11.0% increase is expected for the 2025 calendar year. 

With millions of campaigns representing hundreds of thousands of brands being launched across various combinations of media platforms each year, audiences can get lost and overwhelmed within the sea of ads. Certain brands who have higher advertising budgets can often unintentionally deter future customers through oversaturation. If everywhere a person turns they see the same brand, or even the same exact ad, they may build an aversion to the brand rather than an interest to purchase. 

Excessive marketing has been proven to deter target audiences. The majority of social media users (around 57.7%) have admitted to unfollowing a brand due to excessive advertising. So advertisers now wonder: How can I reach my target audience in the most cost-effective way without bombarding them from every angle?

Picking the right combination of media types

Each target audience is unique in its own way, and each audience has its own preferences when it comes to engaging with digital ads. While some people listen to audio podcasts on a daily basis, others prefer to browse web pages or watch online videos in their spare time.

Honing in on your audience’s habits with the help of robust analytical insights is the key to maximizing ROAS in the ever-growing realm of digital advertising. As media type combinations continue to expand from the cornerstone display, native, and video offerings into CTV, programmatic audio, HTML5, and Digital out of Home (DOOH), finding the right combination for each campaign can take some finesse.

Transparent analytics to aid with strategy

In order to avoid oversaturating the target audience, advertisers should rely heavily on analytic insights. Reports such as campaign analytics and site analytics provide the data, analysis, and recommendations necessary to decide where and how to appropriately allocate ad spend

With the help of robust, transparent analytics reports at each and every step of the campaign journey, agencies and their brands can refocus their strategic marketing efforts on which media formats lead to the highest engagement rates among target audiences, and readjust their campaign budgets to reach the right people in the ways they prefer, without overwhelming them.

The foolproof way to avoid oversaturating your target audience is the effective analysis and application of reporting insights. Using insights from campaign analytics reports, including KPI-based data and audience engagement levels, will help you shape your overarching strategy and concentrate your targeting – and retargeting – efforts. Adjust your campaign media mix according to the data collected in these reports, so you can connect with your audience where they are the most engaged without deterring them.

Trust in AdDaptive’s accurate targeting and reporting to elevate your campaign strategy and reach key audiences without oversaturation.

Elevate Your Campaigns with New Media Formats

Elevate Your Campaigns with New Media Formats

April 30, 2024 |

Just as each campaign is unique, so is each target audience segment and their preferred methods of engaging with content. Incorporating new media types such as Connected TV (CTV) or audio alongside the tried and true display advertising format allows decision makers and consumers alike the opportunity to gather information through their personal media preferences – from online videos, to TV streaming services, to podcasts, and beyond.

Reach your target audience from multiple touchpoints

Using a combination of media formats in digital advertising campaigns increases your chances of reaching the intended audience across various platforms. Varying your media channels allows your target audience multiple ways to engage
with your content, depending on where they are
in the sales cycle and what their preferences are in terms of online browsing.

Providing a variety of touchpoints throughout the customer journey helps keep your brand top of mind with your target audience and allows them
to engage with your content in their own
preferred way. Diversified campaigns open more opportunities to engage with key customers that you might have missed otherwise. For example, an avid podcast listener from your target audience could hear hundreds of audio ads in a week. If your brand isn’t in the mix of audio ads, this key customer will have no awareness of your brand and its products or services.

Proven multi-media format campaign success

The proof is always in the data. Measuring KPIs across both single-media campaigns and multi-media campaigns for comparison consistently shows that a diversified approach yields higher engagement levels. The incorporation of newer media types in particular along with display and or native, such as Connected TV (CTV), or programmatic audio, has proven time and time again to increase the success of digital advertising campaigns.

 

AdDaptive’s MTC Report shows some examples of the success that advertisers have found by expanding their creatives across other media formats. For example, incorporating either native or video ads in a previously display-only campaign actually increases display CTR.

 

“There was an 8% increase in Display CTRs when pairing a Display creative with a second creative type (such as Native and Video)”

Between display, native, video, CTV, audio, and HTML5, the various media type combinations and allocation of ad spend are limitless.

Experiment freely with different media type combinations

Testing various combinations of media formats can significantly elevate the success of a campaign. Finding the perfect, unique balance of media types for each campaign takes some experimenting. 

A client was running a campaign with only display ads for a month, at which point we suggested complementing the display ads with native ads. After launching the native ads, the number of engagements doubled. This led to the decision to shift the campaign budget from 50% native and 50% display to 75% native and 25% display.

Thankfully, agencies and brands searching for a way to test which media formats work best for each campaign can do so without breaking their budgets. AdDaptive has no long-term contracts,
so agencies can adjust their media mix and ad spend allocation throughout the flight of each campaign. These adjustments can be made according to KPI measurements and
recommendations from our digital advertising experts, like Eli Moger and Andrew Mikedis.
