A Media Planner's Approach to B2B Advertising: Part One

Posted by Sean Norton on Thu, Feb 20, 2014 @ 14:02 PM


Not unlike consumer advertising, media planning and buying in the B2B space is largely about efficiently reaching a client’s target audience, within a finite budget, at precisely the right time. All the while, we must stay true to a communication strategy, allow for creative flexibility, produce tangible results and stay a step ahead of the competition. Sounds like a lot of work, but that’s not all. While B2B audiences (and budgets) are relatively smaller than those in the consumer world, we still face many nuances that make planning and buying in this space quite challenging. Some of these include:

Good Media Idea: In-App advertising from Victoria's Secret

Posted by Scott Christopher on Fri, Feb 14, 2014 @ 16:02 PM

Just in time for Valentine's Day, this month's good media idea highlights Victoria's Secret and their in-app mobile advertising campaigns. They are a great example of a retailer that is activating the "raving fan" base of app users to encourage repeat traffic to go buy more - and through strong creative and new innovative technology they've introduced within their app. The latest "Spring Break" campaign features a scavenger hunt of sorts where consumers must find an image of a model in front of the letter "P" and scan it using image recognition technology in the app, to get offers and deals unique to the app. They also have technology that integrates music playlists within the app as well as other games and unique features. All of the campaigns tie in traditional media as well as eBlasts and SMS, a true multi-channel approach which we always believe is a good idea. It seems to have paid off as well as with strong click-through rates for in-app ads as well as measurable consumer engagement and strong sales.

Welcome to the Future: Where you can Buy stuff from your Smart TV via your Remote

Posted by Scott Christopher on Thu, Jan 9, 2014 @ 17:01 PM

This month's good media idea comes to us from H&M and their Super Bowl TV spot they have planned featuring David Beckham's Bodywear line. The 30-second spot, when appearing on Samsung smart TVs, will feature a pop-up menu offering more product information, the option to send that info to another device, and even the ability to purchase product using your remote. It will remain interactive, even if viewed later through a DVR. This is all via a platform, Delivery Agent, that has been doing this for years.
