Back in the era when television advertising was getting started, your strategic choices were limited to just two: selecting the network and the time slot. Although you could count on your commercial reaching a broad audience across the entire media landscape, there was no guarantee it would reach the intended demographic. Additionally, you ended up paying to showcase your ad to countless individuals who had no interest or need for your service or product. That’s money well spent…down the drain.
Meet the new TV – Connected TV (CTV). Connected TV Advertising, also known as, streaming ads, are transforming the way businesses reach their audiences in the digital age, by streaming. But what exactly are connected TV ads, and what sets them apart? The term “connected TV” (CTV) encompasses two primary advertising avenues:
CTV (Connected TV): This refers to the devices enabling streaming, such as smart TVs, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, etc.
OTT (Over the Top): This pertains to specific streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube TV, Disney Plus, etc.
Which option suits your business best? That’s where Soud Marketing comes in. Our expertise lies in understanding the intricacies of each CTV and OTT platform. As digital marketers, we analyze various factors—including your business/product, target audience, business model, and growth objectives—to tailor a customized strategy for you.
We want to be clear on one thing – we are not a large, full-service agency. We are a small digital marketing agency specializing in two things:
Simply put, our focus is to drive more potential customers to your website and convince those visitors to take the next step with your business, whether that be purchasing a product, scheduling an appointment, booking a consultation, etc. We achieve this through digital ads, search engine optimization, and content creation and optimization.
We concentrate solely on the key elements needed to be successful in digital marketing today – detailed ad account buildout, performance and conversion tracking, effective website content, and competitor analysis. We firmly believe these components need to be paramount rather than afterthoughts. So, that’s what we specialize in.
Digital marketing is what we know and all we do. This allows us to dedicate more time getting to know you, your business, and how your goals can best be achieved in the digital world. As a small team, we are able to become a true extension of your team.
Effective connected TV campaigns hinge on fostering connections. Our core philosophy in crafting and overseeing such campaigns revolves around delivering tailored messages to the appropriate audience, precisely when it matters most. We dedicate ourselves to constructing, supervising, and refining bespoke ad campaigns tailored to each specific market segment you aim to engage.
All projects start with a strong understanding of where your business sits within the market and how it stacks up against the competition.
Our team compiles competitor research, reviewing ad channels utilized and messaging/promotion strategy. Market analysis provides key insights on target audience and their digital consumption and habits, which help fine tune the digital marketing strategy.
Our team identifies the top audience groups across ad channels to curate and segment target audiences based on age, gender, location, life stage/socioeconomic demographics and interests, etc.
We work with you to identify the right cities, zip codes, and neighborhoods that contain your ideal audience.
Our team puts together the ad creative – words, images, videos and graphics – used to create multiple variations of ads for your business on the networks.
*We work within the photo and video assets you currently have, as well as utilize a large stock library. Custom photography and videography is available for an additional fee.
Bid strategies are the automated rules and approach to buy advertising on networks.
Our team selects the bid strategy and campaign objectives to produce the best possible results for each client’s specific marketing goals.
Bid strategies can focus on maximizing reach, traffic, conversions or hitting a specified cost per acquisition figure.
We work with your team to identify the exact KPIs to track for each campaign.
Our digital marketing tracking capabilities include:
Once your campaigns are live, our team performs daily account checks and optimizations to ensure all campaigns are generating good quality traffic.
You can regularly expect fresh ideas from our team new keywords to test out, fresh images and video ideas, as well as website improvements you can make to help with conversion.
Once again, connection is key. And you can’t have a connection without communication. Campaigns and strategies are always more successful if everyone involved is on the same page. That takes a lot of communication between both parties. Not only do we want to be part of your team, but we also want to educate and empower your team. In today’s digital world, communication speed and forward thinking strategies are key for growth. Here’s the exact process we use to create digital marketing campaigns that deliver new customers for our clients.
We’ll start out by meeting in-person or virtually and talking through your business goals, current marketing challenges and growth expectations.
We’ll put together a strategy plan, specific for your company, with a focus on maximizing all the opportunities we see for growth.
We meet with your team to present and discuss the overall strategy & campaign specifics, outlining: audience targeting, channel & messaging strategy, promotional offers and tracking capabilities.
Campaigns are created and launched in a timely and tactical manner, focused on short-term gains and longterm brand growth.
Continually monitor campaign performance: traffic, engagement and revenue generated; adjusting where necessary to improve performance at each stage of the consumer journey.
