2. Confinement during the
pandemic has people
using social media
more than ever.
Therefore, this deck
was created to inform
social strategy and to
explain the new
opportunities that exist
in the social realm to
capitalize on increased
social use.
The use of targeted advertising and remarketing on social
media to drive leads and build brand recognition is more
important now than ever. Targeted social media
advertising is here for the long run. It’s the next frontier of
online marketing. Advertising on social media is a real,
tangible driver of leads and sales. Marketing departments
are increasing their social ad spend across the board in
response. Our task is to find new ways to utilize these
networks in new and innovative ways – using the latest
methodologies and new tactics.

š Run social platforms reports and use native analytics.
š Track progress against your objectives.
š Compare and contrast the marketing investment against revenue.
š Social media ROI is a metric showing how much value we generate with our social media
investment.
š Social ROI is usually a sum of money but can also be viewed as a non-monetary value such as
comments or newsletter sign ups.
š Profit / Investment x 100 = social media ROI %
(Profit is the money earned from social media marketing while investment is the total cost of our
social media marketing efforts.)
š What social media ROI means for your company depends entirely on our objectives.

22. Consumers are in
constant information
bombardment and
increasingly tougher
competition is
making it more
complicated to
reach target
consumer that wants
to see and get what
they want whenever
they want it.
According to
Gleanster, 50 percent
of leads are qualified
but not ready to buy.
Additional research
shows that 35-50
percent of sales go to
the vendor that
responds first.
Impatient and ad
overexposed
consumers is a
problem for
advertisers and
require new ways to
trigger consumer
attentions and
interactions.
Reduced marketing
budgets and shifting
business needs also
mean you are under
more pressure than
ever to make your
online investments go
further.
Problems Solved with Social & Digital

23. š The practice of serving ads to users based on prior engagement
š How it works: When someone visits our website, our retargeting provider
will place an anonymous browser cookie that will store the site visit and
when that visitor leaves, that cookie lets the retargeting provider know
when that bounced visitor appears on another site.
š If there’s available ad space, the retargeting provider will bid on that
space in real-time. If they’re the highest bidder, then secure the ad space
before the page loads. All occurs in fraction of a second.
š Why Retarget? Traffic that bounces doesn’t have to be the end of the
line. By serving retargeted ads to users who already expressed interest in
our site, they’ll become part of the purchase funnel and we’ll encourage
the next step: conversion
š Because 90-98 percent of site visitors simply don’t convert, retargeting can
provide the additional marketing touch points to encourage conversions
and drive prospects further down the funnel

24. New Prospecting Strategies

Contextual and
Keyword Targeting
Crawlers scan the content of sites and based on relevant keywords and/or customizable categories,
display ads on the sites that are a fit. This is a Page-leel keyword and contextual strategy.
Matching the client’s keyword with a user searching for that same term via all search engines
Keyword Search
Targeting
Video Running Pre-Mid or Post-Roll Video on Targeted Sites with Video completion Rates Visibility
Displaying ads to users who appear on specific verticals
Outlook users migrated from Hotmail and view ads while on their Outlook Webmail. Exclusive inventory
that allows only one advertiser on page and garners strong CTR’s. Yahoo allows larger 300x600 ads and
tends to yield higher CTR
The Look-Alike Modeling strategy uses the DMP to ID the most valuable first-party data traffic and
matches the DMP data to the first-party data. Need at least 50K Cookies for this strategy to be viable.

The algorithm selects data segments with a high likelihood of driving campaign performance and
automatically adjusts audiences as the campaign progresses. One can deactivate/activate the
underperforming and higher performing segments. CTR goals can average 3-6x improvement.
IP and Zip Code Targeting to connect with users in specific IP and/or Zip Code areas. Targets can be
supplied by your company, a third party, or created based on a campaign.
25. When to Use Retargeting Strategies
• When a website has in excess of at least 20,000 estimated Unique visitors per month. A robust cookie pool is
needed in order to achieve successful Retargeting campaign results. Only 7-20% of the Uniques can be
used toward a monthly retargeting budget.
• Performance driven campaigns demanding specific CPA and ROAS Goals
• CPM, CPC & CTR Rates take on less importance as conversions and revenue drive the KPIs. Retargeting
strategies force higher CPM’s and CPC’s and tend to draw a lower CTR, mainly because we are forced to
bid higher on limited retargeted cookies.
• No focus on the Geo as we only want to capture users who have shown intent when they initially visited the
site.
• Retargeting can be used as a Branding Strategy as users are delivered multiple targeting ads, ensuring that
the Brand is top of mind.
• Retargeting is key for Cross-Selling campaigns
25

• Dynamic Retargeting is highly intelligent, utilizing the latest
technology for performance marketing, which enables ads that
are highly accurate and relevant through personalization, cost
effective and revenue generating. This is possible due to
algorithms targeting most likely conversion (company defined
valuable post ad click actions) targets and at the right moment
in their purchasing funnel.
• Ad personalization and timing will affect consumer engagement
and also their purchase behavior, positively affecting ROI.
• Dynamic retargeting considering timing (ads targeted directly
after browsing instead of 8-hour delay) has higher banner click-
through rate and conversion rate plus increasing ROI. Dynamic
retargeting has an incremental ROI of 62 times the investment
compared to buyers not targeted with dynamic retargeting.
Dynamic Retargeting
27. Social targeting is an audience buying methodology for online
advertising. It’s related to other types of audience buying such as
demographic or behavioral / interest-based targeting. While pure
interest-based targeting allows advertisers to find an audience
online based on the affinities they have expressed in their web
behavior (i.e., what sorts of websites they have visited), social
targeting combines that logic with social network logic, helping
brands to find the people who are connected to their best
existing customers.

š Integrate both paid and
organic social media into your
social strategy
š Use free social media to beta-
test paid social ads
š Take advantage of targeting
features
š Rotate ads frequently (week
on/week off) to avoid ad fatigue
š Send out several “test” ads to
small audiences, track the
results, and then push the
winning ads to larger groups.
This is more cost effective
š Understand how ads are sold
and adapt content
accordingly
š Design ads with mobile in
mind

LI has reported that 90%
of all social media traffic
to B2B websites comes
from a combination of
Facebook, Twitter and
LinkedIn. LI accounts for
over half of this traffic,
making it substantially
more effective than its
non-business-focused
counterparts.

LinkedIn Targeting Capabilities
32. Companies can use LinkedIn Sponsored Content to promote our content in
the LinkedIn feed to drive greater engagement with professionals and to
strengthen its position as a thought leader.
We can amplify content through the use of LinkedIn’s Sponsored Content. This
will enable your company to start building a relationship with professionals
who are not connected to you through content.
Result: Increased exposure of thought leadership content within a professional
environment and raise the visibility of the company blog to stimulate greater
interaction and content sharing.

š Recognize users across different devices. (72 percent of buyers used at least 2 devices
and switched at least three times before the purchase, which highly suggests cross
device recognition as an important feature in dynamic retargeting in order to gain
efficiency in ad delivery, costs and result.
š Digitalization is enabling new ways to perform advertising and it is changing the
behaviors of target audiences - the digital consumer (who want to self-service by
helping themselves when they feel like it). They are multichannel and are thus browsing
and buying amongst different channels.
š In the digital environment the consumer-purchasing funnel might involve touchpoints
from channels such as paid search (e.g. Google search), display ads (banners) and
email.This makes it important to understand the complex customer journey across
marketing channels, in order to increase advertising efficiency such as channel cost
allocation based on the level of different channel interactions among consumer
Key things to remember
34. Further Questions to Be Answered

with social data mining
and intelligently split our
segments to
communicate more
effectively across
marketing channels?
š How exactly do we
harness social media
data and better divide
our marketing segments?
š We must personalize and
retarget effectively. How do
we leverage social data to
reach the right consumer at
the right time with the right
content (without being
creepy)?
š How can we utilize Google
Ads to do audience
targeting?
š What information are we
legally allowed to collect,
use and store from social
data sources?
š How do we best segment
our audiences on social
media for the most
effective ad campaigns?
š The future is private. More
conversations will happen
on messenger and dark
social marketing tools.
How can we take
advantage of this?
