CAMPAIGN PROCESS

1 - Campaign Planning and Strategy

Planning and strategising is the first step in the native advertising media buying process. This is where our media buyers will develop a native advertising media plan. The media plan will address your target audience across different media publishers to maximise return on investment against your marketing objectives. Killer content marketing should be developed that will convert users.

2- Bidding and negotiating

The second step is bidding and negotiating. The media buying agency creates a plan to select channels/media, negotiate rates with publishers or ad networks (or both) and secure ad space.

3- Campaign Management

Before going live, we deploy pixels to begin data collection. A small test is performed to confirm that the data is being collected correctly and that no data discrepancies exist. Campaigns are set live and submitted to the ad exchanges.

4- Measuring Sales & Results

The fourth step is measuring results, which is key to any successful media buying campaign. Through programmatic technology, real-time campaign data is available, giving transparency to campaign metrics such as click-through rates (CTRs), viewability, reach, impressions, conversion rates, leads generated and sales revenue, including ROAS. Available via our in-house data-rich analytics suite. 

5- Refining the plan

The fifth step is refining the plan. Historical data from the ad campaign will fuel insights to adjust buying decisions and improve machine learning.

The official definition from the Native Advertising Institute:   “Native advertising is paid advertising where the ad matches the form, feel and function of the content of the media on which it appears.”

Native advertising can take many different forms but is generally distinguished from other forms of online advertising by its focus on delivering an unobtrusive and relevant message to users. Native ads are often less interruptive than traditional banner ads and can provide a more seamless experience for users. This experience usually helps to get better leads and conversion rates.
While native advertising can be an effective way to reach target audiences, it is important to ensure that native ads are clearly identified as such to avoid misleading users. Native advertising can also be controversial, and some critics argue that it blurs the line between editorial content and advertising. Nonetheless, native advertising is a growing trend in online advertising and is expected to continue to grow in popularity in the coming years.

The native advertising article format is the format you will come across on many blogs and news sites. They paid ads that are most akin to an advertorial if you would compare it to print advertising.

Google Ads vary in shape and size. However, when we think about how they are shown, we can certainly say that most Google ads are native. One example is Gmail Ads. Gmail Ads are shown in our emails as if they were another email in our email list, another example is Google Search ads.

Yes, we can design, build, and create ad copy for your marketing campaigns, including dynamic native creatives.
