Use Reporting Insights to Increase Engagement while Avoiding Oversaturation

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.

Complement Your LinkedIn Ads with Programmatic

Complement Your LinkedIn Ads with Programmatic

LinkedIn is inarguably a leader in both the social media world and the digital advertising world, accounting for almost 25% of US B2B digital ad spending this year. Business professionals specifically trust the LinkedIn platform above any other social media site for thought leadership, career development, networking, and much more.

As the most trusted business social media platform, LinkedIn’s growth isn’t expected to slow down any time soon. The predicted year-over-year growth rate is 14.1% for LinkedIn advertising in 2024. To further fuel this growth, LinkedIn has introduced a new Media Planning API to help advertisers maximize their campaign ROI.

While the media giant continues to expand their in-network targeting capabilities, there are still many opportunities to complement LinkedIn ads with other solutions and deliver display, native, video, CTV, audio, and HTML5 ads across a variety of platforms for a comprehensive, omnichannel advertising approach. Over 75% of digital ad spend in the US still falls outside of LinkedIn. So how can advertisers adjust their campaign strategies to maximize their reach and KPIs?

Expanding digital advertising strategies beyond social media

There is no denying that LinkedIn ads have proven to be highly effective, especially in recent months. Advertisers have seen over 20% ROI on LinkedIn campaigns so far in 2024, despite the 30% price surge at the beginning of the year. 

However, LinkedIn ads are still restricted to the LinkedIn platform itself. LinkedIn may be the best social media platform for business advertisers, but complementing social with the value of programmatic is the true key to reaching target audiences where they are engaged and maximizing ROAS. Increasing the number of touchpoints by delivering a well-rounded combination of display, native, video, CTV, audio, and HTML5 ads increases the likelihood of your intended audience engaging with your content.

Launching a complementary programmatic advertising campaign alongside your LinkedIn social media campaign can significantly increase brand awareness, website traffic, impressions, and conversions, just to name a few KPIs. 

Target with accuracy – and without limits

AdDaptive’s targeting and reporting solutions can help you reach your target audiences beyond social media platforms. The world wide web is your oyster with programmatic advertising, so you can reach your target audiences with as many touchpoints as are needed to inform, engage, and inspire action. Whether the ad is display, native, video, CTV, audio, or HTML5, expanding your media mix across a variety of platforms beyond social media significantly increases your chances of connecting with key accounts.

AdDaptive’s solutions can effectively complement your LinkedIn advertising strategy, elevating your campaigns with accurate targeting, robust campaign reports, and in-depth analyses and recommendations. Our strength in matching offline data to online identifiers also fills a gap which cookies will leave behind in the wake of their impending removal. 

Partner with AdDaptive to complement your LinkedIn campaigns and significantly increase your chances of reaching your target audience.

Digiday Programmatic Marketing Summit May 2024 Recap

Digiday Programmatic Marketing Summit May 2024 Recap

June 05, 2024 |
Helen Bartkiewicz

Digiday just held their bi-annual Programmatic Marketing Summit May 15-17 in sunny Palm Springs, CA. As always, AdDaptive was a proud sponsor of the event at the Ritz Carlton, Rancho Mirage, where agency executives and industry professionals gathered for three days to discuss the current challenges, strategic shifts, and solutions available to advertisers. 

The conference was jam-packed with town halls, 8 minute meetings, lunches, dinners, receptions, activities, and presentations featuring 22 keynote speakers, including AdDaptive’s VP of Sales, Ted McNulty. McNulty’s presentation, titled “Leverage offline data for more accurate, scalable, and transparent campaigns,” took place on the first day of the conference, May 15, just before the first round of 8 minute meetings pictured above. 

The challenge board reveals all

The challenge board has become infamous at the numerous annual Digiday summits. Attendees are invited to share the one main challenge that their agency is currently facing in a quick post-it note in order to spark conversation with other agencies who are experiencing similar challenges, and with vendors who can provide potential solutions.

Some of the keywords that appeared on the challenge board at May’s Programmatic Marketing Summit included: differentiation, measurement, transparency, cookieless, partnership, digital, and branding. 

The hottest topics covered during the various sessions and presentations at the conference encompassed many of these keywords, further proving the value of attending Digiday events.

Said topics included the ever-delayed deprecation of cookies, attribution, and building trust with ad tech partners. These themes have been prominent at all of the Digiday summits over the course of the last year or so, confirming their importance as they continue to remain top-of-mind for agencies.

Will cookies ever actually go away?

Last month Google announced the third delay in their plan to deprecate cookies, and advertisers are growing increasingly more skeptical about whether cookies will ever be completely removed from Chrome. Before April’s announcement, the platform was expected to be cookie-free by the end of 2024. Now that date has been bumped to some time in 2025. 

Though the deadline for the removal of third-party cookies from Google Chrome remains ever-prolonged, cookieless targeting solutions are the future-proof option for digital advertisers. Programmatic advertising is the seamless next step as the industry shifts away from a reliance on cookie-based targeting. AdDaptive’s cookieless solution, for example, has proven its success by bridging validated offline data sources to unique online identifiers for accurate targeting and reporting for over 14 years. 

Truly accurate attribution

Speaking of accurate reporting, attribution was once again a buzzword at the Summit. Since programmatic campaigns lend themselves to an omnichannel approach, launching simultaneously across various platforms in a combination of media types, KPI tracking can often lead to overlaps in data. 

Which click actually sealed the deal? 

The only way to know is by using the most accurate reporting technology in the industry. Truly accurate attribution is only attainable through forming an ad tech partnership with a trusted digital advertising solution provider, such as AdDaptive. 

Build a partnership with a trusted ad tech vendor

The number of vendors in the industry just keeps growing year over year. How can advertisers possibly choose between them all? The answer is just one word: trust. If it feels like “taking a chance” with a new ad tech vendor, they aren’t the right partner. Find a solution provider with proven success, who offers full transparency to put your mind at ease. 

Knowing what data is being accessed and how exactly it’s used to target key audiences helps soften any doubts about running new campaigns. For over 14 years now, AdDaptive has successfully connected validated real-world data sources such as SEC filings, building permits, census data, and much more to unique online identifiers for extremely accurate targeting. Since 2010 we’ve worked with over 500 agencies and launched tens of thousands of campaigns, none of which have ever relied on third-party cookies. 

Trust in AdDaptive’s future-proof technology to target with accuracy and scale so you can maximize ROAS.
