Process

1. Initial Consultation and Needs Assessment
The process begins with an in-depth consultation to assess the current state of your business’s programmatic advertising capabilities, including Trade Desk, DSPs, SSPs, and ad networks. We identify pain points, objectives, and potential growth areas to tailor the best solutions for your specific needs.
2. Strategic Planning and Platform Selection
Based on the needs assessment, we develop a comprehensive programmatic advertising strategy. This includes choosing the appropriate platforms (DSPs, SSPs, DMPs) such as Google Display & Video 360, The Trade Desk, or PubMatic, ensuring the chosen tools align with your business goals.
3. Data Management and Integration
Once the platforms are selected, we integrate first-party data, DMPs, or CDPs to optimise audience segmentation and targeting. This allows for personalised, data-driven advertising that increases campaign relevance and effectiveness.
4. Technical Setup and Configuration
We handle the full setup of your chosen Trade Desks, DSPs, and SSPs, ensuring they are configured for optimal performance. This involves integrating the platforms with your existing systems and tools, such as CRM or marketing automation software, for seamless data flow and reporting.
5. Cross-Platform Campaign Creation
Next, we create and execute programmatic campaigns across multiple platforms, targeting your desired audiences with precision. Each campaign is built with real-time bidding strategies to maximise ad spend and drive performance.
6. Real-Time Bidding (RTB) and Optimisation
During the campaign execution phase, we apply advanced real-time bidding (RTB) strategies using DSPs. By leveraging AI and machine learning, we continuously optimise bids to ensure you’re winning premium inventory at the best price.
7. Private Marketplace (PMP) Deal Negotiation
For more controlled ad placements, we negotiate Private Marketplace (PMP) deals with premium publishers. This provides exclusive access to high-quality inventory and enhances campaign precision, ensuring your ads are shown in relevant, brand-safe environments.
8. Performance Tracking and Analytics
Throughout the campaign, we implement advanced analytics and tracking tools, ensuring all key performance indicators (KPIs) such as click-through rates (CTR), conversion rates, and cost-per-thousand (CPM) are measured and optimised in real time.
9. Continuous Optimisation and Adjustments
Using the performance data gathered, we make ongoing adjustments to improve campaign effectiveness. This includes refining audience targeting, adjusting RTB strategies, and tweaking creatives to ensure maximum ROI.
10. Reporting and Strategic Insights
At the conclusion of each campaign, we deliver comprehensive reports that provide actionable insights. These reports include detailed performance metrics and recommendations for future campaigns, allowing you to refine and enhance your programmatic advertising strategy for continuous success.
