AGENCY SEEKS NEW MANAGED-SERVICE PROGRAMMATIC PARTNER
In early 2022, a large independent agency sought a managed-service programmatic partner to increase their advertising capacity and overall performance. The agency wanted to compare the abilities of multiple programmatic solutions to pick a dedicated provider. They put Simpli.fi head-to-head with another major programmatic vendor by comparing factors such as campaign activation efficiency, proprietary targeting technology, third-party data ingestion, and overall performance marketing metrics.
On behalf of a medical device brand, the agency and Simpli.fi established a comprehensive programmatic advertising strategy for an initial campaign. The team applied Simpli.fi’s proprietary behavioral and location-based targeting tactics, as well as third-party segments, to reach a relevant audience across the U.S. and Canada. In order to gauge performance, the campaign goal was to achieve a low Cost Per Action across online conversions such as “Find A Doctor” and “Quiz Submission” button clicks.
REACHING POTENTIAL CANDIDATES BASED ON LOCATION
The advertiser wanted to precisely reach potential customers who qualified for a particular elective procedure in relevant cities while maintaining compliance with healthcare-related privacy policies. To begin, the team deployed Simpli.fi’s Geo-Fencing solution to target users who recently visited relevant locations such as doctor’s offices, optometrists, eyewear outlets, and grocery store optical centers. In just a few days, Simpli.fi drew custom target zones around 4,443 businesses across 19 DMAs in the U.S. and Canada to capture users who visited these locations and then serve them display, pre-roll, and CTV ads.
PRECISE TARGETING BASED ON RELEVANT BEHAVIOR ONLINE
The brand also sought to reach users based on their online behavior. Using Simpli.fi’s Keyword Search Retargeting, the advertiser identified users who were actively searching for relevant content and were located near the locations where the procedure is available. Simpli.fi implemented over 5,400 keywords including contacts, eyeglasses, eyewear brand names, and more to serve display, pre-roll, and CTV ads. Additionally, the brand deployed Site Retargeting to serve ads to users who had recently visited their website.
Finally, the agency provided an existing third-party audience segment of users between the ages 25-54 who wear glasses or contacts in order to maximize reach and compare performance to Simpli.fi’s proprietary solutions.
LOWERING CPA BY BLENDING CREATIVE TYPES
Simpli.fi’s technology enabled the advertiser to drive more actions at a lower cost by reaching users across multiple touchpoints. After deploying CTV ads, the team leveraged Simpli.fi’s Campaign Audience Retargeting solution to serve follow-up display ads. Simpli.fi’s platform automatically added new devices to a dedicated retargeting audience of users who were served a CTV ad. Then, the campaign delivered display ads to reinforce messaging to users with previous exposure, encouraging additional calls to action and driving down the overall CPA.
SIMPLI.FI OUTPERFORMS OTHER MANAGED-SERVICE PROGRAMMATIC OFFERINGS
The campaign achieved a CPA of $14.64 for display and pre-roll ads and $24.49 for CTV ads. Moreover, Simpli.fi’s Campaign Audience Retargeting achieved a $14.00 CPA and helped maximize conversions while decreasing the overall CPA. Additionally, Simpli.fi’s transparent reporting enabled the agency to view granular metrics by media type, device, and location.
Overall, Simpli.fi outperformed other vendors in terms of strategy, support, and ultimately, campaign performance. As a result, the agency selected Simpli.fi as the exclusive managed-service provider for their programmatic campaigns.
