Programmatic Marketing Agency

INTELLIGENT PROGRAMMATIC
MARKETING

Rather than days gone by of businesses picking up the phone to purchase advertising space, programmatic marketing enables businesses to rely on smart technology to manage campaigns. Programmatic advertising lets businesses buy display advertising space through the use of Demand Side Platform. DSP uses AI to determine which ad placements to buy, how much to spend and which ad creatives to serve. Spend more time doing what you must and less time worrying about advertising campaigns.

Purchasing Valuable Advertising Space

Programmatic marketing is the stock exchange of digital display advertising. Purchasing valuable advertising space in real-time, programmatic constantly applies historic performance data to optimise and refine campaigns faster and more accurately than a human alternative. Using first, second and third-party data, programmatic ad buying enables businesses and brands to reach the right audience, in the right place, at the right time. Targeting is based on user interests, browsing histories, shopping habits and hundreds of other variables.

Getting Started with Programmatic

Installing a tracking code on your website allows us to gauge activity on your site as well as specific conversion objectives, such as a sale or lead. We manually identify what an ideal customer looks like in terms of demographics, geographics and interests so the campaign starts off in a prime position. Building a significant audience means the programmatic platform can understand what your ideal customer looks like. Our creative team then creates banner ads in a number of common dimensions to be used in a variety of display placements.

Display

Consisting of static or interactive banner ads with a clear call-to-action, display ads serve highly interactive creatives across the internet, in placements that are seen by users in various stages of the purchase cycle.

Video

Utilise video ads to build brand awareness or engagement. Video excels at capturing and holding user attention, and driving action on site.

Native

Native ads appear in familiar spaces a flow with the design of a specific website, this often results in higher engagement levels that standard banner ads, and is a useful strategy for New Zealand's major media outlets.

Connected TV

More immersive than a mobile or laptop screen, reach an audience on smart TVs or devices used to stream internet content with data-driven targeting and analytics.

Audio

Leave the screen behind with audio advertising on podcasts, audiobooks and music streaming platforms to connect with listeners.

CAMPAIGN OUTCOMES

Pathfinder

The asset management and ethical investor, Pathfinder, approached Sprocket to support them in reaching their substantial growth goals. To identify a more accurate audience, they required a highly-targeted lead-gen campaign with programmatic marketing, with the aim of achieving better marketing results and gaining sign-ups.

CHALLENGE:

Our primary objective was to generate the highest possible number of KiwiSaver applications for the allocated advertising budget. To achieve this, we targeted environmentally conscious New Zealanders that were currently investing in KiwiSaver, through all levels of commercial intent - from brand awareness to the consideration phase, comparison and finally conversion.

STRATEGY:

Programmatic can be used to effectively target users through a full lead cycle journey. Initially, we were able to reach users who weren’t aware of the Pathfinder brand, through contextual (keyword targeting) on websites that include phrases related to ‘KiwiSaver investing’ and ‘retirement funds’. If a user has been looking at KiwiSaver schemes, but hasn't previously visited the Pathfinder website, we targetted them through interest audiences (based on past browsing habits). After a user had clicked through to the Pathfinder website, we were able to retarget them across the wider internet whilst they were in the consideration phase; whether completing more research around their current provider, researching competitor offerings, or inactivity after forgetting to take action - we are able to serve ads to these users with a high frequency to drive them to complete a pathfinder application. Our strategy contributed to a cost per 1,000 impressions of <$5, cost per application submission of >$50 and a conversion rate of over 20%.

Covid lockdowns meant complete operational shut down for our small NZ owned business. However, in the last few months we have finally got back up and running again with the help from Josh and his Sprocket team.Their understanding, resources and communication has been unwavering in this process and we have seen measurable results month on month. Trust plays a big role in digital marketing and I believe their formula is full proof.Sprocket has had a big role to play in getting our small business back on it's feet. I couldn't recommend this company enough!

FINALLY... a digital marketing company that actually gets the results. This is the 5th business I have dealt with in the last 7 years - and the only business that has proven results. Our sales have increased hugely and it's only been 1 month. Harry is amazing to work with and the whole team at Sprocket Digital know exactly what they're doing. The results speak for themselves. Highly recommend!

Matt Boylan

This is the second time I have used Sprocket Digital in my role as Marketing Manager for small to medium sized businesses. Given our marketing team is very small and we don't have a specific digital marketing resource internally, it gives me peace of mind knowing that all our digital needs are being outsourced to Sprocket. On both occasions of working with Sprocket, the team have very quickly got up to speed on our business. The setup is seamless and my regular meetings with the team help to identify opportunities for us to leverage. The entire team are really knowledgeable and down to earth even though they have some very experienced people working on our account. I would highly recommend Sprocket to any other business who wants expert advice and guidance on their digital marketing with an accessible and down to earth approach.

Maggie from Astound Smile

We have worked with a couple of other agencies that did not deliver and I'm impressed with the level of service, support & results we get from Sprocket. Within a few weeks of working with Sprocket, we can see immediate improvement on our sales. Harry and the team has taken the time to understand our business and continue to work on delivering results. We look forward to continue working with Sprocket to grow our business. If you are looking for a result-focused agency, you can't go wrong with Sprocket!

Absolute weapons! I called these guys up and advised our quality and quantity of leads were poor. I was introduced to Ethan who has gone above and beyond for us and the results are brilliant. This is a team who will care for your business like their own. Upwards and onwards!

We have worked with Sprocket since 2017 with two businesses and their service has always been exceptional. Both businesses experienced high growth due to the help from the Sprocket team. Josh has a vast knowledge, has been unbelievably helpful and even helped us out on a few occasions out of office hours. Can't thank him enough. Highly recommend Sprocket for any ecommerce businesses looking to increase their growth.

NZ-Online-Pharmacy

The results speak for themselves. Our website has been lifted to the next level, in both hits & resulting translations into physical orders. Thanks Kieran & Team!

Daisuke Kirihara

I have been working with Sprocket for about 6 months, and the team has delivered outstanding results, giving us one of the best return for every dollar we spent through them. I have worked with digital agencies across Asia, Europe, and NZ over 15 years, but the ROI improvement I have seen Sophie and the team deliver is best in class. If you are a result-focused marketer who needs an agency to get you results, try letting them run your campaign. It worked great for us.

Meelee Joe
