We used programmatic advertising to turn $5.8K ad spend into $19.5K in revenue with a 3.36x ROAS for an 8-fig DTC brand WITHOUT website traffic retargeting. Here’s how: THE CHALLENGE: CTV ads are great for awareness but tough to track. Unlike Meta or Google, CTV doesn’t have a traditional attribution path. It's an incredible tool for generating awareness and intent, but tough to generate direct performance from without the right strategy. This is where most brands miss the mark - they stop at top-of-funnel awareness and never close the loop. THE SOLUTION: Instead of treating CTV as a standalone play, we used it to fill the top of the funnel… ...then retargeting those engaged viewers through programmatic ads across the open web. STEP 1️⃣: Ran CTV ads to build awareness and get initial audience engagement. STEP 2️⃣: Retargeted those viewers in the middle of the funnel using display & native ads, as well as retargeting through CTV again. STEP 3️⃣: Removed all bottom of funnel retargeting as to get a clear view of CTV performance without cannibalizing other ad channels' traffic. THE IMMEDIATE RESULTS: 👉$5.8K ad spend → $19.5K revenue 👉>90 purchase conversions 👉3.36x Holistic ROAS across all campaigns over a 7 day period Why This Works: 👉 CTV builds brand awareness, but without retargeting, it’s incomplete because it's hard to actually purchase through this channel - ie., it's impossible to 'click' on your TV. 👉 Retargeting those engaged users across the open web moves them further down the funnel, and allows us to be exposed to the CTV traffic in a format that can be engaged with and tracked & attributed. 👉 Retargeting CTV engaged users through CTV again increases brand awareness and recall, thereby increasing purchase intent through the same channel of original exposure. The takeaway? CTV isn’t just a top-of-funnel play. When combined with programmatic retargeting, it’s a conversion machine. You reach massive new audiences that don't exist on other platforms, and convert them across the entire web, not just social platforms. Programmatic is here to expand your marketing funnel, as well as your revenue.

An ecommerce company recently approached my team to do an email audit as they were facing challenges with low open and click-through rates. After analyzing their email account, here are our main recommendations to revive their email marketing channel: 1. Strategic Email Segmentation: Currently, your emails lack personal relevance due to a one-size-fits-all approach. This is a crucial area to address. Action Plan: Implement segmentation based on purchase history, engagement levels, browsing behavior, and demographic information. 2. Personalized Content Creation: Generic content won't cut it. Your audience needs to feel that each email is crafted for them. Action Plan: Develop emails specifically tailored to the different segments. This includes curated product recommendations, personalized offers, and content that aligns with their interests. 3. Subject Line A/B Testing: Your current subject lines aren't doing their job. You need to be implementing ongoing A/B subject line tests, as this is low-hanging fruit to improve your open rates. Action Plan: Regularly test different subject line styles and formats to identify what resonates best with each segment. Keep track of the metrics to inform future campaigns. 4. Mobile Optimization: A significant portion of your audience reads emails on mobile devices. Neglecting this is causing a decrease in your email engagement rates. Action Plan: Ensure all emails are responsive and visually appealing on various screen sizes. Test your emails on multiple devices before sending them out. Additional Campaign Strategies We Recommend: - Launch a Monthly Newsletter: This should include new arrivals, style guides, and user-generated content. It’s an excellent way to keep your brand in the minds of your customers. - Seasonal Campaign Integration: Tailor your campaigns to align with holidays and seasons. This approach can significantly boost engagement and sales during key periods. - Re-Engagement Campaigns: Specifically target subscribers who haven't interacted with your brand recently. Offer them unique incentives to rekindle their interest. Next steps: 1. If you found this helpful, please leave a comment and let me know. 2. If you own/run/work at an Ecommerce company doing at least $1 million in annual revenue, message me so my team can audit your email channel to see if there's a good fit for working together.

Influencer marketing has been a go-to strategy for engaging #holiday shoppers in 2024. So how did brands stand out in a crowded #creator market? Here are five learnings for brands from #creatormarketing campaigns we have executed at TERRITORY Influence (Bertelsmann Group) over the last weeks: 1. Don’t expect exclusivity with #creators over the holiday season. The holidays are a busy time for #influencers, with packed schedules and inboxes full of offers. Rather than pushing for exclusivity, focus on how your brand can stand out within their #socialmedia feed. Provide them with the best possible brief, creative freedom and materials to help tell an authentic story about your product. 2. Add a messaging blast to your campaign. Many influencers now expand their reach by including #email options alongside sponsored posts, making it an effective addition to holiday campaigns. 3. Bring back the old-school home party. An influencer hosting a cozy holiday party at home, featuring your brand in a real-life, relatable setting, can make a lasting impact. A holiday baking session with your #food brand or a festive cocktail night featuring your ingredients can resonate with both guests and the influencer's audience. 4. Lean into hacks and dupes. Influencers love sharing #content that offers real value, and showcasing how your brand helps people save money or stretch their budget will resonate with their audience. Be clear in your influencer brief by sharing creative ideas or examples of how your product fits into the hacks or dupes category. 5. Lean into Recipes, Tablescapes and DIY. People are constantly looking for fresh ideas, whether it’s fun new appetizers or creative holiday decor, and they often turn to #influencers for that inspiration. If your brand fits into the food, home decor or DIY space, now’s the time to partner with influencers to create visually appealing, shareable content. The holidays are a great time to reach consumers with #influencerMarketing—but with so much happening, it’s even more important to plan your approach carefully and connect with a trustworthy agency partner (such as TERRITORY Influence) well in advance. Typically #influencers are fully booked by the end of summer, so do reach out to our experts in Q2 to start planning your 2025 holiday campaign.

B2B retargeting isn’t complicated. But most marketers still get it wrong. We’ve seen teams set up ‘𝘰𝘯𝘦-𝘴𝘪𝘻𝘦-𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘴-𝘢𝘭𝘭’ retargeting campaigns and then wonder why nothing converts. Here’s what actually works when it comes to smart B2B retargeting: 🎯Target with intention, not 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. → Segment by engagement depth Someone who visits your pricing page for 10 minutes isn’t the same as someone who skims a blog post. Your messaging should reflect that. → Rethink your timing 30-day windows aren’t a universal truth. For longer B2B sales cycles, 60–90 day windows often perform better. → Stack your audiences The real power is in overlap. Website visits + LinkedIn engagement + email clicks = 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩-𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥. And no, you don’t need to over-engineer it. Focus on the fundamentals: ✔ Clear, segment-specific messaging ✔ Multi-touch sequences across platforms ✔ Fresh creatives that don’t fatigue ✔ Landing pages that match your ads ✔ Limit how often someone sees your ad, no one likes being spammed. Still running the same retargeting ad for 3 months straight? That’s not a strategy. That’s silent sabotage. B2B retargeting is about understanding the buying journey and showing up with clarity, not chaos. Stop chasing impressions. Stop copying competitors. Stop overcomplicating what works. Keep it simple. Keep it strategic. That’s the 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 ‘𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘴 way.

Remarketing is often the misunderstood middle child of performance marketing. Let’s break a couple of myths🔨 🎯 One size fits all fits probably no one:  I’ve seen many companies burn money on campaigns that don’t recognize that every section of their audience has their own motivations. Why, if I had a penny for every time I visited a site with no intent to purchase their product at all, only to spot a “Schedule a Demo Today” ad by them on whichever site I visit, I’d probably be the richest guy in SaaS! I read somewhere that 84% of users either ignore or are put off by retargeting ads! Shows how important it is to get it right. Start doing these things: - Segment visitors by page depth (1 page vs 3+ pages) - Track time-on-site thresholds (>2 min = higher intent) - Create separate campaigns for pricing page visitors vs. blog readers Tailor your content based on your audience’s behavior and stage in the buyer journey (URL path visitors, action completers, cart abandoners) 🎯 Retargeting works like a mosquito coil:  Retargeting is not plug and play, and it typically doesn’t stop with one level. Retarget for all customer stages. Not only demo and trial signups. This insulates your prospects from leaving the funnel midway. We’ve had cases where we spent thousands of dollars on a retargeting campaign only to make zero sales. But here’s what happened afterward ⭐ : When we triggered another retargeting campaign for the warmer folks from the previous campaign, giving them BOFU content, we made sales. A lot of it! What’s to learn here? You’re unlikely to be bet on with just the first touch point. You have to build that awareness consistently. Create a 3-tier remarketing structure: > Tier 1 (Cold): Educational content, industry reports > Tier 2 (Warm): Case studies, comparison guides > Tier 3 (Hot): Free trials, demos, limited-time offers Build custom audiences for each segment, assign specific content types to each, and implement frequency caps based on ‘bucket temperature’. Also, the focus should also be on increasing the credibility of your company rather than only pushing them towards the CTA. Here's one customized Google + LinkedIn campaign strategy we used for a client recently. What are some retargeting tactics that’s worked for you?

Our team analysed over 1 MILLION proposals and found something significant for sales leaders. We discovered that proposals with interactive elements had acceptance rates up to 2x higher than static ones. That’s a massive difference. Here’s why this didn’t surprise me. Interactivity helps your proposal deliver on things that actually move buyers forward. You can… - Make it easy for buyers to discover the right plan by adjusting user counts, toggling items, and exploring add-ons through interactive pricing - Stand out from the competition with dynamic content that blows static PDFs out of the water - Tailor the experience for every stakeholder by using expandable sections that reveal the right level of detail, without overwhelming anyone. - Reduce back-and-forth with self-serve exploration, letting buyers dive deeper into demos, feature breakdowns, timelines, and FAQs directly inside the proposal - Showcase value through interactive ROI calculators So while a 2X increase in acceptance rate FEELS huge, there’s so much value in interactivity that I’m frankly surprised this figure isn’t higher.

Sometimes the smartest marketing move is the one no one sees coming. In one of the most inventive brand plays of the last decade, Burger King sponsored Stevenage FC, a little-known football club in England’s League Two. In the FIFA video game franchise, players can transfer global stars like Messi, Ronaldo and Mbappé to any club. Including Stevenage. Burger King recognised that by getting their logo on the team’s kit in real life, it would automatically appear in the game too. Then came the challenge. In 2019, Burger King launched the #StevenageChallenge, encouraging gamers to play as Stevenage, score goals, and post their best moments online in exchange for free food. Suddenly, some of the world's best-known players were "wearing" Burger King shirts on social media. The results were staggering: * 25,000+ goals shared online in Stevenage kits * Stevenage became the most-played team in FIFA Career Mode * Over 1.2 billion campaign impressions * Viral reach that would have cost millions through traditional ad buys As Stevenage’s CEO put it “It’s PR you couldn’t buy as a League Two club, unless you reach the third or fourth round of the FA Cup.” This was an awesome example of understanding how people behave in culture and finding a way to insert the brand into a moment of play and self-expression. It’s a masterclass in how unexpected placements can unlock massive visibility. The lesson here is don’t just ask, “Where do we advertise?” Ask, “Where are people already engaging, sharing or having fun?” Then find an authentic way to show up there. This is how brands showing up in unexpected places works.
