Media Buying

Gourmet Ads offers Media Buying which is part of our Programmatic Managed Service (sometimes referred to Direct IOs or Insert Order Campaigns) for Brands and their Advertising Agencies running thousands of campaigns over this time.

Experience with Media Buying 

Since 2008, we’ve offered Media Buying via our Managed Services (sometimes referred to Direct IOs or Insert Order Campaigns) for Brands and their Advertising Agencies running thousands of campaigns over this time. Not only does our team have both the Strategic and Tactical experience to ensure success, but we have global footprint of ad operations across 3 continents to ensure constant monitoring and optimizations of your campaign throughout the day and night.

Media Buying for Prospecting Campaigns

Many of our Media Buying campaigns are focused on Prospecting. That is, we are “Prospecting” for new customers or clients for your product or service. Think of it as advertising to the top of the funnel and as such we tend to use broad targeting options for maximum reach. So, it’s not uncommon for these campaigns to be based on some sort of whitelist of sites, category, contextual targeting options or First Party Data or Third-Party Data source such as demographic or shopping behavior. We’ll work with you to use the best in breed data source for your requirements.

Media Buying & Optimization

When it comes to Media Buying we offer a unique range of algorithmic based media buying models which we use from the start to ensure campaign success. Whilst all Media Buying campaigns are sold on a CPM basis, we currently can set optimizations such as;

  • CPA – Cost Per Acquisition

  • CPC – Cost Per Click

  • CTR – Click Through Rate

  • Viewability Rate

  • Video Completion Rate

Our Optimizations are conduction both in real-time using Machine Learning and Data Science to constantly adjust and re-evaluate the inventory and the performance every hour of the day. In addition, our Global Ad Operations team ( ie Real People !) are tasked with ensuring overall success for your Campaign what ever the KPIs are.

Optimizations of campaigns isn’t just about tweaking the CTR rate or Video Completion Rate of the campaign during the flight dates. We believe that taking a minimization of spend focus and pacing is just as important. We are firm advocates of Time and Day Parting to connect with your audience at key times not necessarily 24 hours a day. This simple tactic reduces wastage and is reflected in our Media Plans.

Media Buying Campaign Budgets & Pricing 

Our team works with budgets of all sizes, but generally speaking our Media Buying pricing starts at USD$10k per campaign and goes higher depending on the type of campaign, duration, targeting, etc.

All Media Buying campaigns are booked on a CPM basis.
