Amazon Advertising: What is it actually?

Amazon Advertising comprises a variety of ad formats that are displayed both inside and outside the Amazon platform. While Sponsored Products appear directly in the search results, display ads and the Amazon DSP (Demand Side Platform) enable a targeted approach across the entire Internet. At the heart of this is the use of first-party data: Amazon knows exactly what customers buy, what they put on their wish list and what they are interested in.

Display ads and flexible formats

The magic lies in the flexibility. Amazon Display Ads not only appear on the product page of the competition, but also accompany the user throughout their entire digital life. Compared to Google Display Ads or retargeting via Adroll Ads, Amazon accesses real purchasing behavior instead of just click interests. This leads to significantly higher relevance and better conversion rates.

• Sponsored Products (search results)
• Sponsored brands (logos & headline videos)
• Amazon DSP (Programmatic Display & Video)
• Twitch Ads (gaming & live streaming environment)
• Fire TV & Echo integrations

Cross-platform advertising: Twitch, Fire TV & Echo

Amazon is now a huge media ecosystem. When you run Amazon Ads, you can reach your target audience while they’re gaming on Twitch, streaming movies on Fire TV or asking Alexa for recommendations. This omnipresence is unique. It’s the perfect complement to a YouTube strategy or campaigns on Bing Ads because you’re picking up users at different stages of their lives.

Twitch Ads: Reaching the young target group

Twitch is the home of Gen Z and millennials. By integrating video ads into live streams, you can create an awareness that traditional banners can never achieve. As an agency, we often combine these high-interest contacts with TikTok Ads strategies to create a viral effect across multiple platforms. This is modern branding in the 21st century.

Costs and prices for Amazon Ads

How much does advertising on Amazon cost? Billing is usually based on the PPC model (pay-per-click). You only pay when a potential buyer actually clicks on your ad. The click prices depend heavily on the competition in your category. While niche products are cheap to advertise, competitive markets such as electronics or food supplements require a higher budget and more precise optimization by professionals.

ROI and ACOS optimization

In Amazon Marketing, everything revolves around the ACOS (Advertising Cost of Sales). We analyze your margins and optimize the bids so that every euro of advertising budget results in maximum profit. We constantly compare this with the performance of Facebook Ads in order to invest your total budget where the highest profitability lies.

• Transparent click costs
• Scalability according to budget
• Real-time optimization of bids
• Detailed sales reports
• Automated campaign control

Prices: Advertising prices on Amazon Ads?

With our expertise as an SEA agency, we help you to establish Amazon Advertising not just as a supplement, but as a real performance driver. Use our cost calculator for Google, Bing & Co. to get a feel for the potential in advance.

• Google Ads – high reach, CPC usually higher (approx. 1-3 € depending on industry)
• Bing Ads – lower reach, CPC often 30-50 % cheaper than Google
• Amazon Ads – users close to purchase, CPC often €0.30-1.50
• AdRoll Ads – retargeting-based, costs mostly via CPM or CPA

What comes after the click? Funnel & landing pages

Traffic alone is not enough. If you want to lead users from Amazon to your own landing page or an external store, you have to offer a perfect user experience. As a full-service agency, we look at the entire journey. After the initial contact via Amazon Ads, we lead customers into a sustainable email funnel to increase customer lifetime value.

Newsletter and customer loyalty

Once won, the customer should stay. We use strategic newsletter marketing to keep in touch. We use insights from Amazon purchasing behaviour to send personalized offers by email. Supplemented by webpush notifications, we create a system that keeps customers coming back to your store.

Step 1: Collect e-mails

Step 2: Use emails for remarketing

Remarketing: Closing the bag

The majority of users do not buy on the first click. This is where our remarketing comes into play. We “track” users who have viewed your product on Amazon but not purchased it across the entire web – even on social media platforms such as Instagram or YouTube. This helps you to be remembered and massively increases the likelihood of a sale.

Amazon DSP for external retargeting

With the Amazon DSP, we can buy advertising space on thousands of websites that do not belong to Amazon but use Amazon’s data. This is far more powerful than normal display advertising. In combination with UGC content in the banners, we create a relationship of trust that makes the competition look old.

Amazon Ads strategy for brands

Successful Amazon marketing is not a sprint, but a marathon. We develop a holistic concept for you that combines SEO (organic ranking) and SEA (paid ads). Only when both cogs mesh will your brand dominate the search results page in the long term. We use the latest AI marketing tools to predict trends and advertise inventory efficiently.

• Keyword research based on genuine buying interest
• Optimization of product titles and bullet points
• Creation of high-quality A+ content
• Control of seasonal promotions (Black Friday etc.)
• Protect your brand against free riders (brand protection)

TV advertising: How does it work?

Was willst du kommunizieren und wie?

Do you want to book advertising on television? The process is more complex than with digital ads, but it is manageable thanks to a clear structure. It starts with strategic media planning, continues with the creative production of the spot and ends with the booking of the broadcasting slots and the subsequent performance analysis. In contrast to online performance marketing, the focus here is often on branding, with modern tracking methods now also making direct sales impulses measurable.

How to switch on TV advertising:

• Definition of the target group and selection of suitable channels
• Conception and storyboarding of the commercial
• Production in high-end quality (4K/Cinema standard)
• Media buying and negotiating discounts
• Monitoring the impact and measuring the effect

From TV commercial to scatter effect!

From TV commercial to scatter effect (free of charge), like here from our cases:

Agency: Production & Media Buy

A full-service agency takes the complexity off your hands. While photo and video production creates the creative basis, media buying takes care of the best broadcasting times at the best price. We see ourselves as a bridge between your brand and the major marketers. The process is divided into clear phases:

1. Planning the TV commercial: Strategic orientation and objectives.
2. Creative phase: Creation of script and storyboard.
3. Production: Shooting, editing, voice-over and color grading.
4. Media planning: Selection of broadcasting environments and time slots.
5. Radiance: Technical handling and reporting.

These are the typical 5 steps to a TV commercial.

Planning the TV commercial – Step 1

During planning, we determine who we want to reach. Is it the broad masses on RTL or ProSieben, or are we looking for the niche on channels such as n-tv or Welt? We analyze the viewing habits of your target group and often combine these findings with data from your marketing consultancy in order to exploit synergies. The goal: a commercial that is not only seen, but stays in the mind.

Weeks before, the planning:

Spot production

A TV commercial has to be technically perfect. There is no second chance for a first impression. We rely on professional equipment and experienced teams. We often integrate UGC elements or influencer scenes to make the commercial more approachable for younger target groups. Today, a good TV commercial is usually the basis for “snackable content” on social media channels.

Booking and playout

At Media Buy, we negotiate for you. Thanks to our network and many cases, we have access to attractive conditions. We make sure that your spot runs in environments that strengthen your brand. We also consider “prime-time” vs. “off-prime” slots in order to achieve the maximum frequency for your budget. Coupling with Google Ads (search triggers during the broadcast) is also essential here.

Analysis and optimization

After the campaign is before the campaign. We use direct response tracking to analyze how many users visited your website after the broadcast. We compare the cost per contact (CPM) with other channels such as YouTube Ads in order to evaluate the efficiency of TV advertising in the overall structure. This is the only way to clearly illustrate the ROI (return on investment).

Working with prominent faces?

Sometimes a celebrity or influencer can help to build instant trust. Well-known faces act as “testimonials” and can convey the advertising message more credibly. Especially for new brands on the market, a prominent face provides the necessary “social proof” that would otherwise take years to build up. We support you in selecting and contracting the right personalities.

Prices: What does TV advertising cost?

The question that interests everyone: How much does it cost to run TV advertising? Prices vary enormously and depend on the audience, the time of day and the channel. While a slot during a World Cup final costs millions, regional stations or niche channels are surprisingly affordable. We calculate transparently for you so that you don’t get any surprises.

Example small TV station ~ 2.500 € – 5.000 € / day

Niche channels (e.g. special interest, regional or news) offer a favorable entry point to reach a top target group without high wastage.

• Lower production costs possible
• Very targeted approach (e.g. business context for news channels)
• High repetition rate of the spots
• Ideal for regional test campaigns

Example large TV station ~ 50,000 € – 250,000 € / day

Investing in the top 5 channels (RTL, ProSieben, etc.) buys massive attention. This is about national awareness in the shortest possible time.

• Maximum reach (millions of contacts per spot)
• High branding effect and prestige
• Perfect for product launches
• Strong synergy effects with e-commerce campaigns

The goal: more sales and deliveries:

Campaign broadcasting: From TV to social media

A modern TV commercial is just the beginning. We extend the campaign from “out of home” or the TV screen directly to the home on the smartphone. With TikTok ads, Instagram ads and suitable content, we create a seamless customer journey. If the user sees the ad on TV and finds the matching ad in their feed shortly afterwards, the likelihood of purchase increases massively.

Your TV agency & contact

As a holistic marketing and advertising agency, we are always “cutting edge” thanks to our numerous cases. We know what works in practice because we manage major brands ourselves. Why hire an agency? Because it saves time, nerves and money. We know the pitfalls in planning and production and ensure that your budget is used optimally.

• Agency contact
• YouTube & Video Strategy
• Use UGC for TV commercials

Google Display Network (GDN): What is it actually?

The Google Display Network is an association of millions of websites, apps and video platforms (such as YouTube) on which Google markets advertising space. In contrast to Google Search, which is dominated by text ads, the focus here is on visual formats. You don’t buy keywords, but target groups, interests and placements. It is the digital form of billboard advertising, but with the precision of performance marketing.

The different ad formats

Google offers a variety of ways to package your message visually. Responsive display ads are particularly efficient. Here, we upload various images, logos and texts and the Google AI automatically combines them into the format that works best on the respective website. This saves time in photo and video production and optimizes performance through constant testing.

• Classic image ads (static banners)
• Responsive display ads (AI-optimized)
• Video ads (integration in YouTube & apps)
• Engagement ads (interactive formats)
• Gmail ads (placement directly in the mailbox)

Why Google? Advantages

Compared to other platforms such as Bing Ads or the specialized marketplace environment of Amazon Ads, the Google Display Network (GDN) offers unparalleled coverage of over 90 % of all Internet users worldwide.

“Although we can also highly recommend Amazon Ads at the moment.”

Agency strategies: Prospecting vs. remarketing

Successful Google Display campaigns are based on two pillars. First: “Prospecting” – finding new customers who do not yet know your brand but fit perfectly into your target group profile. Secondly, remarketing – retargeting people who have already visited your store but have not yet made a purchase. While providers such as Adroll Ads offer strong competition here, Google impresses with the seamless integration of all data streams.

Customized target group targeting

We use Google data to target people based on their habits. “Ready-to-buy target groups” are users who, according to Google’s algorithm, are about to make a purchase decision. In an individual marketing consultation, we analyze which segments offer the lowest CPC (cost-per-click) for your product with the highest conversion probability. In this way, we avoid wastage that is otherwise often found in traditional TV or print advertising.

And then? Check the results!

1. Place advertising
2. Check results, optimize
3. Continue to place good ad sets

Zack! Sale!

The perfect funnel: What happens after the click?

Clicking on a banner is just the beginning. As a full-service agency, we ensure that the user lands on a highly optimized landing page. The design of the ad and the message of the page must harmonize perfectly. If mistakes are made here, your budget will be wasted. We also implement web push notifications to retain visitors without an email opt-in.

Lead generation and newsletter marketing

With display ads, users often do not buy immediately (impulse purchase), but must first be convinced. That’s why we integrate smart hooks for your newsletter marketing on the landing pages. Once in the system, we guide the contact through an automated email funnel to the conclusion. This chain of visibility (display) and completion (email) is the gold standard in e-commerce.

• Optimization of the user experience (UX)
• Building trust through UGC content on the site
• Fast loading times for mobile users
• Clear call-to-action (CTA)
• Integration of testimonials

Step 1: Collect e-mails

Step 2: Use emails for remarketing

Google Display Ads in the cross-channel mix

A modern user sees your brand on many channels. They scroll through TikTok Ads, search on Google and read the news in the evening. Google Display Ads act as a “glue” here, connecting the various points of contact. If a user has seen your product in an Instagram ad, they should find it shortly afterwards as a display banner on their favorite news site. This omnipresence creates authority and trust.

Synergy with YouTube advertising

As YouTube is part of the Google universe, we can perfectly coordinate video ads and display banners. Anyone who has seen your video will later be shown a matching banner. In our YouTube consultation, we show you how to use this combination to tell your brand story consistently across all devices.

Costs and budget planning for display ads

How much does Google Display Advertising cost? The beauty of Google Ads is that you have full control. You can start with €5 a day or invest millions. Billing is usually based on CPC (click price) or vCPM (cost per 1,000 visible impressions). Prices are often significantly lower in the display network than in search, as the competition at placement level is more widespread here. We use professional bid management to ensure that you get the maximum “share of voice” for your budget.

Use of AI and smart bidding

We use state-of-the-art AI marketing to adjust your bids in milliseconds. Google learns which users convert and prioritizes your ads to these people. This massively reduces the cost per lead (CPL) and makes your marketing scalable. We combine the power of the machine with our years of experience from hundreds of cases.

• Full budget control in real time
• Transparent evaluation of all clicks
• A/B tests of different banner designs
• Exclusion of inappropriate websites (brand safety)
• Geographic targeting down to city level

Prices: Advertising prices on Bing Ads?

Bing is an unbeaten champion in the B2B sector in particular, as Microsoft Edge and Bing search are pre-installed as standard on millions of office computers. If you don’t have a presence here, you leave the field to the competition without a fight.

With our expertise as an SEA agency, we help you to establish Microsoft Advertising not just as a supplement, but as a real performance driver. Use our cost calculator for Google, Bing & Co. to get a feel for the potential in advance.

• Google Ads – high reach, CPC usually higher (approx. 1-3 € depending on industry)
• Bing Ads – lower reach, CPC often 30-50 % cheaper than Google
• Amazon Ads – users close to purchase, CPC often €0.30-1.50
• AdRoll Ads – retargeting-based, costs mostly via CPM or CPA

Conclusion: reach that sells

Google Display Ads are the backbone of any serious online marketing strategy. They provide the necessary visibility among the masses and bring potential customers back to the store through intelligent remarketing. Those who do without this presence today are leaving the digital space to their competitors. In combination with sound Instagram advice and technical funnel know-how, Google Display becomes the most important engine for your growth.

Streaming advertising: What is it actually?

The term streaming advertising (often also called connected TV or CTV) refers to the display of video ads within digital content that is streamed via the Internet. Streaming & Media Strategy

“The special feature: The advertising is not linked to a fixed broadcasting schedule, but to the individual user.”

Stephan M. Czaja, Social Media One

Thanks to state-of-the-art data analysis, we know who is sitting in front of the screen and can adapt the ad accordingly. This is performance marketing on the big screen.

Commercials without zapping away: The “lean-back” experience

One of the biggest advantages of streaming advertising is its high level of acceptance. As many ad-financed subscriptions are significantly cheaper, users accept short, relevant ad breaks. Unlike on the web, where ad blockers or fast scrolling make ads invisible, in streaming the ad is usually viewed in full. The completion rate here is often over 95%. In combination with marketing consulting, we develop concepts that utilize precisely this undivided attention.

• Pre-roll: Advertising before the start of the movie
• Mid-roll: Short interruptions in the middle
• Pause ads: still images when the user pauses the movie
• Interactive overlays: direct purchase via remote control
• Sponsorship of entire series marathons

Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+ & Co.

The presence on Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+ & Co. is a game changer for your branding. It is fundamentally different from traditional TV advertising, which is often only perceived as background noise. Compared to radio advertising or large-scale OOH (Out of Home) advertising, streaming offers the opportunity to place interactive and highly personalized video ads directly in the living room of your target group. As an agency, we control your campaigns with pinpoint accuracy to achieve maximum impact.

Targeted advertising instead of broadcasting schedules:

Sports events and live streaming

Live sport is the last great bonfire of media consumption. When millions of people watch a top game at the same time on platforms such as DAZN or Amazon Prime, enormous advertising opportunities arise. Here we combine streaming ads with advertising at sporting events. Whether through digital overlays during the live broadcast, classic spots during half-time breaks or stadium advertising captured by the cameras – the visibility is huge.

Event sponsoring in the digital age

Strategic event sponsorship in the streaming sector makes your brand the official partner of the fan experience. This creates an emotional bond that purely functional advertising cannot achieve. We coordinate the placement of your brand in an environment that breathes passion and loyalty. This can be perfectly flanked with UGC content on social media to extend the fan experience.

Targeting: Surgical precision

The biggest lever in streaming is targeting. We don’t just book “airtime”, we buy “audiences”. Do you want to reach young families who are interested in sustainable furniture? Or technology enthusiasts who are looking for a new smartphone? Linking first-party data from streaming services with your own store data (e.g. from the email funnel) creates a highly efficient approach.

TV streaming vs. traditional TV

While traditional TV often works according to the “watering can principle”, TV streaming allows granular targeting. We can target campaigns according to zip codes, household income, interests or even previous purchasing behavior in the e-commerce sector. This reduces wastage and massively increases the ROI of your advertising spend.

• Geo-targeting at neighborhood level
• Behavioral targeting (interests & hobbies)
• Contextual targeting (suitable for the movie genre)
• Retargeting of website visitors to the TV
• A/B testing of different spot versions

Streaming services & costs

The costs for streaming advertising are more flexible than many people think. Instead of rigid fixed prices, we often work with the CPM model (price per thousand contacts). This means that you only pay for actual impressions. Prices vary depending on the platform, exclusivity of the content and depth of targeting. As an agency, we negotiate with the major networks on your behalf and ensure the best prices.

Example: Campaign budgeting

Even with moderate budgets, impressive results can be achieved in streaming, as the quality of the contacts is significantly higher than with short social media clips. A well thought-out Google Ads strategy also catches the search queries that arise when users have seen your ad on TV.

• Exclusive access to premium inventory (Blockbuster)
• Transparent billing according to impressions
• Scalability from local to national
• Complete control over the frequency (frequency capping)

Spot production for the big stage

A streaming commercial must be of high quality. It runs between Hollywood productions and must not look like a cheap advertisement. Our photo and video production experts create spots that are visually impressive and at the same time use the sales psychology of modern marketing. We make sure that the content can also be adapted for YouTube Ads or TikTok Ads.

Synergy with social media & performance

Streaming advertising unfolds its greatest power in combination. A user sees your ad on Disney+ during a family evening. The next day, they are reminded of the product by Instagram ads on their smartphone. This multi-touchpoint approach ensures an enormous increase in the conversion rate. We link these channels to create a seamless customer journey.

Retargeting to the TV screen

Did you know that we can target users who have visited your store with a spot on their next streaming evening? This cross-device retargeting is one of the sharpest weapons in modern marketing. It strengthens branding and drives users back into your sales funnel.

Streaming Advertising Agency & Contact

Why choose Social Media One as a partner for your streaming campaigns?

Adroll: What is that actually?

Adroll is a demand-side platform (DSP) that enables companies to place ads across thousands of websites and apps. The company is best known for its first-class retargeting. Once a user visits your store, Adroll “follows” them across the web – whether they are reading news, browsing social networks or using mobile apps. It’s the ultimate form of top-of-mind marketing.

Retargeting and prospecting

The magic of Adroll lies in the combination of two strategies: retargeting (bringing back former visitors) and prospecting (finding new, similar users). With access to billions of user data, Adroll can create lookalike audiences that are even more precise than many other providers. In a comprehensive marketing consultation, we analyze how we can profitably activate these target groups for your store.

• Cross-platform retargeting (web & social)
• AI-supported prospecting for new customers
• Dynamic product ads (DPA)
• Automated bidding strategies
• Central management of all display campaigns

Adroll vs. Google Display Ads: What are the differences?

Why use Adroll when Google exists? The main difference lies in the inventory. While Google primarily serves its own AdSense network, Adroll accesses over 500 different ad exchanges, including inventory from Facebook and Instagram. So you don’t just buy from one provider, but across all of them. This often leads to better performance in the e-commerce sector, as users are reached where they have the highest level of attention.

Avoidance of advertising blindness

Thanks to the variety of formats and placements, with Adroll we avoid the typical advertising blindness that often occurs with standard banners in the Google network. We combine classic display banners with native ads and video ads. This increases the click-through rate (CTR) and ensures a healthy mix in your digital presence. We achieve impressive results, especially in combination with UGC content in the creatives.

What comes after the adroll click? Strategic funnel structure

Buying traffic is the first step, converting it is the decisive one. A click on an adroll ad must lead to a highly optimized landing page that immediately delivers on the promise of the ad. As a full-service agency, we do not view adroll as an isolated channel, but as part of a holistic email funnel.

Newsletter and reactivation

As soon as the user lands on your site via Adroll, our goal is lead capture. With a smart opt-in for your newsletter marketing, we convert the one-off click into a lasting customer relationship. We also use web push notifications to reach users even when they are not reading emails or scrolling through social media.

Remarketing: Closing the bag

Professional remarketing is at the heart of every Adroll campaign. We segment visitors according to their behavior: Who only saw the homepage? Who was in the shopping cart? Who has already made a purchase? Each segment receives an individual message. Those who have abandoned their shopping cart are shown a dynamic banner via Adroll with exactly the products they have abandoned – often combined with a small incentive.

• Individual approach per funnel level
• Automated shopping cart reminders
• Cross-selling for existing customers
• Brand awareness through constant visibility
• Real-time customization of advertising media

Adroll in the cross-channel mix: social & search

A modern store visitor uses multiple devices and platforms. They see a story on Instagram, search later on Google and read an article on a news site in the evening. Adroll connects these worlds. We synchronize your TikTok Ads or YouTube campaigns with the Adroll display network. This creates a seamless customer journey that gently guides the user to the conclusion of a purchase.

Understanding attribution models

One of the biggest advantages of Adroll is the detailed reporting. We can see exactly what proportion of the final purchase came from display ads, even if the user ultimately came from a direct search. This helps us to calculate the “true value” of your ad spend (ROAS) and shift budgets from inefficient channels to high performers.

Step 1: Collect e-mails

Step 2: Use emails for remarketing

Prices and costs at Adroll

The cost structure at Adroll is flexible and depends on your budget. You usually pay according to the CPM model (cost per 1,000 impressions) or CPC model. Since Adroll works via real-time bidding strategies, the system constantly optimizes to get the best price for the best placement. As an agency, we control these processes to ensure that your budget is not wasted on “blind traffic” but generates real sales.

Efficiency through automation

Through the use of AI marketing features within Adroll, bids and creatives are automatically adjusted. The system learns which banner design works best with which target group. This saves time and massively optimizes the performance of your Facebook Ads extensions.

• No fixed minimum budgets
• Transparent billing according to performance
• Scalability from local to global
• A/B testing of banners included

• AdRoll Ads – retargeting-based, costs mostly via CPM or CPA

Adroll as a range booster

Relying on Google alone is a waste of potential. Adroll is the perfect complement to close the “gaps” on the Internet and make your brand present wherever your customers are. It is the link between high-interest search and emotional social media consumption. Combined with strong Instagram consulting and technical funnel know-how, Adroll will give you an unfair advantage over your competition.

Out Of Home: What is it actually?

Was willst du kommunzieren und wie?

Out of Home (OOH) encompasses all forms of advertising that reach consumers outside their own four walls. The spectrum ranges from traditional posters at bus stops to huge digital screens on highways and creative guerrilla campaigns in pedestrian zones.

“The decisive advantage: OOH cannot be ‘clicked away’ or suppressed by an ad blocker and you can reach many people across regions quickly.”

Stephan M. Czaja, Social Media One

It is a medium for the masses, but one that can be targeted more and more precisely thanks to modern data analysis.

The evolution of outdoor advertising

Outdoor advertising used to be static and cumbersome. Today we talk about DOOH (Digital Out of Home). This means that advertising spaces are networked, can be displayed in real time and even adapt their messages to the weather, time of day or current news. If you are an e-commerce agency, you can combine physical presence with digital agility.

• Classic billboards (large format, city light)
• Digital screens (DOOH) in city centers and train stations
• Transport advertising on buses and trains
• Ambient media in fitness studios or restaurants
• Large-format facade banners

Look away? Impossible.

Posters: the classic with oomph

Despite digitalization, the classic poster remains a giant. The “billboard” is the standard measure of outdoor advertising. With a clear message and a strong visual concept, you can dominate an entire city within a decade (10-day booking period). The interplay of image and short message is important here. As passers-by often only look for a few seconds, the design has to pop. A link to your marketing advice or a QR code can build the bridge to digital conversion here.

Screens: Digital outdoor advertising (DOOH)

The future belongs to screens. Outdoor advertising on screens is flexible, bright and extremely eye-catching. Movement in the motifs automatically attracts the human eye. This enables us to tell short stories or even integrate dynamic feeds (e.g. “Only 3 beds available”) directly into the cityscape.

Pillars and screens in the city

Today, modern City Light columns are often fully digital stand-alone screens. They are located at highly frequented intersections, in pedestrian zones or at central transfer points. Here we reach people in a waiting or strolling situation. The attention span here is higher than in flowing traffic, which offers space for more detailed messages or appealing photo and video productions.

Book screens in the kiosk: Hygh & Co.

An absolute insider tip for lifestyle brands and start-ups is booking screens in kiosks or late-night shops (e.g. via providers such as HYGH). The target group here is young, urban and affluent. The screens often hang directly in the shop window or behind the checkout – exactly where purchasing decisions are made. This is the perfect complement to an Instagram consultation, as the look of the ads can often be adopted one-to-one.

Where to book? How to book? That’s what we’re here for!

Events & Sponsoring

Outdoor advertising doesn’t just take place on streets, but where emotions are cooked up: At events. In the sports sector in particular, we achieve an enormous leverage effect through advertising at sporting events. People are in a positive mood, attentive and identify with the environment. This is transferred directly to your brand.

• Stadium advertising: Become part of the fan culture with perimeter advertising and video wall presence.
• Event sponsorship: Position your brand as an enabler of great experiences through targeted sponsorship.
• Promotional campaigns: Use OOH spaces as an anchor point for physical sampling campaigns.

BILD & Co.: The power of the big media

If you want maximum authority, combine OOH with a presence in the major leading media. A campaign that takes place on posters as well as in BILD or on its digital portals creates an “everywhere presence”. This is the gold standard, especially for national product launches or political campaigns. We coordinate these massive bookings and ensure consistent branding across all channels.

Campaign transfer: From OOH to social media

The most modern approach in the OOH sector is digital extension. We bring outdoor advertising directly to the home on the smartphone. Using geo-fencing, we can later target users who have walked past a particular poster with TikTok Ads, YouTube Ads or Instagram Ads.

The cross-channel funnel

A user sees your giant poster at Alexanderplatz (impulse). In the evening on the couch, they watch a UGC video about this very product (trust). The next day he searches Google and finds your store (purchase). This cycle is what we perfect for our customers. OOH is the igniter that massively increases awareness.

Planung ist die halbe Miete!

OOH Strategy: Planning & Prices

The costs for outdoor advertising depend heavily on the location and frequency (G-value). A large space in a small town is inexpensive, while a digital screen on Munich’s Stachus requires a high investment. As an agency, we analyze the heat maps of the cities and select precisely the locations that are relevant for your target group. In this way, we avoid wastage and maximize the impact per euro invested.

• Location analysis based on movement data
• Creative check: Does the design work at a distance?
• Bundling of bookings for better conditions
• Coupling with Google Ads for direct search catch

Your OOH agency & contact

As a holistic marketing and advertising agency, we are always “cutting edge” thanks to our numerous cases. We manage our own brands in the double-digit million range and therefore know exactly how outdoor advertising affects sales. Why commission a specialized agency? Because we take care of the planning, graphic handling and tough negotiations with the marketers (Ströer, Wall, etc.). This saves you time, nerves and ensures significantly better prices.

Let’s put your brand in the public eye together and connect the analog world with your digital success.

Why Bing Ads? The advantages of Microsoft Advertising

Advertising on Bing means gaining access to the entire Microsoft Search Network. In addition to Bing, this also includes partners such as Yahoo and DuckDuckGoGo.

“The biggest advantage is often less competition.”

Stephan M. Czaja, Social Media One

Since many marketers blindly rely only on Google, the click prices (CPC) on Bing are often 30 % to 60 % cheaper. This means for you: More traffic for the same budget.

Exclusive target groups and demographics

Bing’s user base differs significantly from that of Google. On average, it is older, has a higher household income and is often on the move in a business context. Through targeted marketing consulting, we analyze whether your products appeal to precisely this target group. If you sell high-value capital goods or specialized software, Bing is often the channel with the best ROI.

• Lower click prices (CPC) than with Google
• High proportion of B2B decision-makers
• Simple import of existing Google campaigns
• Presence in Windows ecosystems (Cortana, Edge)
• Less aggressive competition for top placements

Comparison: Bing Ads vs. Google & display networks

A modern marketing mix consists of various pillars. While Google delivers sheer quantity, Bing scores with quality. But how does it all fit in alongside specialized networks? Compared to Google Display Ads, Bing in the search network is much closer to the conclusion of a purchase (lower funnel). However, if you are looking for dynamic retargeting across many platforms, you should also consider Adroll Ads or, in the e-commerce sector, explicitly Amazon Ads.

Synergies in the Microsoft network

Microsoft Advertising offers more than just search. Through the Microsoft Audience Network (MSAN), you can place ads on MSN, Outlook.com and in the Edge browser. This is the answer to Google’s display network. In combination with performance marketing approaches, highly efficient image campaigns can be run here that accompany users throughout their entire digital working day.

And then? Check the results!

1. Place advertisement
2. Check results, optimize
3. Continue to place good ad sets

From click to question: What happens when you have traffic?

Strategy: What happens after the click?

The best ad is useless if the user experience ends after the click. As an agency, we look at the entire path. A click on a Bing ad must lead to a highly optimized landing page. This is where it is decided within seconds whether the visitor becomes a lead. A clear call-to-action (CTA) and a fast layout are mandatory.

Lead nurturing and e-mail funnel

Once the data has been collected, the real work begins in the backend. Instead of just selling once, we build a sustainable email funnel. We use automated newsletter marketing to keep in touch with the customer. This is the key to profitability, especially for products that require explanation and are searched for via Bing.

• Optimization of the landing page load time
• Implementation of Webpush notifications for reactivation
• Building trust through UGC content on the target page
• Automated follow-up sequences
• Conversion tracking until the final sale

Step 1: Collect e-mails

Step 2: Use emails for remarketing

Remarketing: Getting back the lost traffic

Not every user buys on their first visit. In fact, around 97% of first-time visitors leave the store without completing a purchase. This is where our strategic remarketing comes in. We tag the visitors to your Bing campaigns and show them targeted ads later – whether again on Bing, in social networks or via display banners. This way, you remain present until the user is ready to buy.

LinkedIn Profile Targeting: The Bing secret

An absolutely unique feature of Bing Ads is the integration of LinkedIn data. Since Microsoft owns both platforms, you can filter your search ads by job title, industry or company. This is recruiting and B2B sales on a level that Google cannot technically offer. You only want to reach IT managers in the automotive industry? With Bing Ads, this is possible in the search network.

Ad types and design

Bing offers classic text ads, but also visual formats. Dynamic Search Ads (DSA) help to automatically create ads for large product ranges – ideal for e-commerce success. We design your ads so that they stand out from the crowd. Clear USPs (unique selling points) and the use of all available ad extensions ensure a maximum click-through rate (CTR).

Use of AI in ad management

The future of SEM lies in automation. Microsoft uses massive computing power to optimize bids in real time. We combine these algorithms with our human expertise in AI marketing. In this way, we ensure that the machine does the work, but the strategy always remains aligned with your individual business goals.

• Responsive Search Ads (RSA) for best performance
• Sitelink and image extensions
• Call extensions for local service providers
• Product ads for online stores
• Local inventory displays

Prices: Advertising prices on Bing Ads?

Bing is an unbeaten champion in the B2B sector in particular, as Microsoft Edge and Bing search are pre-installed as standard on millions of office computers. If you don’t have a presence here, you leave the field to the competition without a fight.

With our expertise as an SEA agency, we help you to establish Microsoft Advertising not just as a supplement, but as a real performance driver. Use our cost calculator for Google, Bing & Co. to get a feel for the potential in advance.

• Google Ads – high reach, CPC usually higher (approx. 1-3 € depending on industry)
• Bing Ads – lower reach, CPC often 30-50 % cheaper than Google
• Amazon Ads – users close to purchase, CPC often €0.30-1.50
• AdRoll Ads – retargeting-based, costs mostly via CPM or CPA

Conclusion: Bing Ads as a performance turbo

If you ignore Bing Ads, you are missing out on money. The combination of low costs, exclusive B2B targeting and a target group with purchasing power makes Microsoft Advertising one of the most underestimated channels in online marketing. In a world where TikTok Ads and Instagram attract attention, people search on Bing when the intention to buy is already concrete.

Spotify Ads: Targeted advertising with impact

Do you want people to not only see your brand, but hear it? Spotify Ads bring your message directly into everyday life – while driving, working or relaxing. We know from experience: The combination of music, voice and emotion creates a particularly strong bond with the brand. And best of all, every campaign is measurable – from reach to listening time.

• Targeting by interests, age, location & music style
• Reach measurement in real time
• High recall value through emotional spots

Podcasts as a new advertising space

Podcasts are the “new radio” – but more personal, more focused and often with a loyal community. We place your brand where listeners are actively listening, not consuming on the side. We know from experience: Podcast listeners are more aware of advertising and respond more strongly to clear brand messages. Perfect for products, services or brand awareness.

• Advertising in relevant podcast environments
• Integration into editorial content
• High level of attention & trust from the target group

Radio advertising: classic, but with wastage

Radio advertising has its strength in reach – it runs everywhere, but rarely reaches the exact target group. Spotify changes the game: instead of booking an entire federal state, you can target your advertising to listeners in Cologne, Hamburg or Munich. We combine both when it makes sense – for example in nationwide campaigns with TV and print.

• Wide reach, but imprecise target groups
• Spotify: targeted & data-based planning
• Combination possible for maximum coverage

Performance as with social ads

Spotify Ads offer the same advantages as social media advertising: precise targeting, clear KPIs and measurable results. We can see exactly who is listening, where, for how long and when. We know from experience: This transparency makes Spotify the perfect channel for brands that need both reach and data – from SMEs to big brands.

• Transparent reporting dashboards
• Automatic optimization according to performance
• Comparable values to Meta or YouTube

Audio strategy in the marketing mix

Spotify ads are more than just a spot – they are part of a modern media mix. We combine them with outdoor advertising or TV to increase recognition. When people see and hear your brand, a connection is made. We know from experience: If you use audio strategically, you reach people more emotionally – and stay in their minds longer.

• Combination of audio, video & out-of-home
• Stronger brand loyalty through multichannel approach
• Individual planning for every target group

Communications agency: What we do for you

Understanding advertising in major media

TV, radio and print are not old channels – they are the stage for brands that want to build trust. While social media works quickly, traditional advertising builds credibility. We know from experience: Anyone who sees a brand on TV or in a newspaper automatically rates it as more relevant. These media create awareness at the highest level.

• TV: strong images, emotional impact
• Radio: companion in everyday life, high repetition
• BILD & Print: Reach, credibility, trust

The right strategy for TV advertising

TV advertising works particularly well when the timing, target group and message are right. Do you want to advertise the launch of a new car? Or publicize the opening of a new supermarket chain? We know from experience: Prime time is expensive – but effective if you need reach in a short space of time. We plan and place TV commercials so that budget and impact match.

• Broadcast at the optimum time
• Regional targeting for special interest channels
• Combination with outdoor advertising for synergy

Print advertising: Visibility in BILD & Co.

A space in BILD am Sonntag or in the regional section of the BILD newspaper reaches millions – from commuters to decision-makers. Print advertising is ideal if you want to attract attention quickly and credibly. We know from experience: This reach reinforces brands that are already visible through posters or commercials. Print creates trust, which online complements.

• BILD, BILD am Sonntag, WELT & Handelsblatt
• Combination of advertisement & editing
• High reach in German-speaking countries

Radio advertising: reach with voice

Radio is close to everyday life. In the car, in the office or when shopping – radio advertising accompanies people everywhere. This is ideal for regional retailers, supermarkets and car dealerships. We know from experience: A clear spot with recognition value sticks, especially in combination with outdoor advertising or Spotify ads.

• Regional or nationwide channels bookable
• Inexpensive CPMs with high contact value
• Combination with Out-of-Home & Digital

Cases in our references.

The mix makes the effect

Large media such as TV, radio and print unfold their potential when they work in a media mix. We combine classic formats with digital advertising, outdoor advertising or Spotify audio. We know from experience: These cross-channel strategies increase both brand awareness and sales. Many of our customers start with BILD and then expand into out-of-home – or vice versa.

• Combined TV & OOH campaigns
• Linking print ads and digital tracking
• Measurable performance through media mix

Budget & planning: how to do it efficiently

Getting into large media does not have to be expensive – the decisive factor is planning. We compare prices, check target groups and negotiate conditions directly with marketers.

Outdoor advertising: advertising options

Do you want people to see your brand – on their way to work, while shopping or at traffic lights? Outdoor advertising attracts attention exactly where your target group is on the move. We know from experience: A strong presence in everyday life creates trust and awareness. Visibility is crucial for influencing purchasing decisions, especially for retail and automotive brands.

• Billboard advertising on busy streets
• City lights and large surfaces in urban areas

An example of an initial increase in efficiency?

Take your customer data, locations/volume and use this to send your advertising in a more targeted way – depending on the goal: addressing new customers/regular customers

Strategy for maximum visibility

The best outdoor advertising is created through the right mix: large-format posters, digital spaces and supplementary measures such as Spotify ads or radio advertising. We know from experience: Only when people see your brand in multiple places does it really stick. Recognition comes from consistency – on the street, in the car and online.

• Campaign mix of analog & digital advertising
• Geographically coordinated presence
• Long-term brand loyalty through repetition

Cases in our references.

Using poster advertising in everyday life

If you sell products that people see or buy every day – such as cars, food or drinks – poster advertising is a must.
