Below you will find an overview of the most important online marketing options. They can all be easily purchased through the AllMediaDesk platform.
Online Display Advertising
Online Display Advertising refers to visual ads that appear on websites. These ads rely on contextual targeting to place advertisements on thematically relevant websites. This type of advertising is ideal for increasing brand awareness and driving traffic to a website.
Online Video Advertising
Online Video Advertising includes ads that play before, during, or after video content on platforms such as YouTube or streaming services. These ads leverage both contextual targeting and sociodemographic targeting to reach relevant audiences. Video ads are particularly effective in engaging viewers and enhancing brand recall.
In-App and Mobile Advertising
In-App and Mobile Advertising allows businesses to target users on smartphones and tablets through mobile apps and mobile web. Both display ads and video ads can be used to engage mobile audiences effectively. With precise targeting options, advertisers can reach users based on the app used, location, device type, making mobile advertising a crucial component of digital marketing.
Digital Audio Advertising
As the popularity of digital audio content grows, Digital Audio Advertising has become an effective way to engage audiences. Streaming platforms such as Spotify or YouTube, and online radio stations offer opportunities for businesses to deliver targeted audio ads to listeners. These ads can be targeted based on location or making them a highly effective form of brand communication.
Search Engine Advertising (SEA)
Search Engine Advertising (SEA) is a form of paid advertising that appears on search engine results pages (SERPs). Using platforms like Google Ads and Bing Ads, businesses can bid on keywords to display their ads when users search for relevant terms. This method ensures high-intent users are directed to the advertiser's website, leading to increased conversions and sales.
While the following channels are not directly associated with online advertising in the traditional sense, they are increasingly considered part of the digital marketing ecosystem due to their digital integration.
Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) Advertising
Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) Advertising bridges the gap between traditional and digital marketing. It includes digital billboards, interactive kiosks, and transit displays that can be updated in real-time. Unlike traditional out-of-home advertising, DOOH enables advertisers to use dynamic content, audience targeting, and data-driven strategies to enhance campaign performance. With the integration of programmatic technology, DOOH can be optimized just like other digital advertising formats.
Streaming & Connected TV (CTV) Advertising
Streaming & Connected TV (CTV) Advertising is an innovative way to reach audiences across a wide range of devices, including internet-connected televisions, laptops, smartphones, and streaming devices. Unlike traditional TV ads, CTV advertising and ads in streaming services offers precise audience targeting based on demographics and interests, making it a cost-effective solution for brands.
