What is paid media?

Paid media encompasses a vast array of paid advertising options available to brands online. From Microsoft Advertising and Google Ads through to YouTube and many more. With meticulous research and extensive experience, paid media can be a really powerful marketing tool capable of delivering substantial returns.

What can paid media do for your business?

Paid media is one of the most effective methods for both converting your existing audience and expanding it. It provides opportunities to engage users at various levels of purchase intent, leveraging targeting capabilities by platform, device, demographic, and more. Key benefits include:

  • Reaching the right audience
  • Precision targeting
  • Maximising profitability through testing and tracking

Retargeting

Consider your typical day – how often do you encounter products you've thought about purchasing before (even briefly)? How often are you faced with products you’ve already purchased? These tend to be the results of retargeting campaigns (even the ones that seem to think you might want to buy a second toilet cistern a week after the last one) and, done right, can be among the highest ROI ad campaigns available.

Youtube Advertising

Positioned as the world’s second-largest search engine, with more than four billion video views worldwide each day (more than a billion of which have gone to Baby Shark, though), YouTube stands as a powerful, cost-effective advertising platform, presenting an unparalleled opportunity to showcase your brand to a vast audience.

List Building & Audiences

Brands are often provided with more data than they realise. Through customer interaction with your presence on many platforms, from your email marketing, from past purchases and even sign-ups without conversions. This can all help you to create better ads that, in turn, help to power brand growth.

Display Advertising

Display Advertising redefined how brands connected with their audiences. Unlike traditional channels (press, OOH or TV, for example) online display advertising offered a more targeted and cost-effective approach. With the end of 3rd party cookies, this service is changing - but we can still make display campaigns work for your brand.
