Paid Media Management

Digital Media Management for Digital First Marketing

Never have people interacted so completely with a form of media as they do with digital media. It’s on all devices, all around us all the time in an endless variety of ad units. It can blend your brand into everyday activities that get people’s undivided attention and put your products in front of people precisely when they are ready to buy and need your information.

Overdrive’s online media buying team enables our clients to leverage digital media’s power and ubiquity. We launch and manage campaigns that are grounded in our clients’ brand strategies but designed to drive measurable actions and ROI. Our campaigns provide the targeted aircover that builds your brand AND the direct response pathways that lead buyers to your door.

Our online media plans reach into life stages, buying and business cycles, and behavioral moments that provide immediate results, long-term ROI, and marketing intelligence that facilitates continual improvement.

Overdrive’s Online Media Management Process: Treating Your Money Like Our Own

No one should ever just report on “what happened” after your money was spent. The idea is to spend it wisely with a great plan and surgical media management that treats your money for what it is – real money. We know that once the budget is gone, it’s gone. There are no re-dos or second chances when the quarter is over. And when the campaign is over, it should always be informing the next campaign in terms of where to focus your media investments and what creative is working.

Online media management is a never-ending cycle of proactive optimization. A campaign should be optimized to minimize waste and maximize success throughout its entire flight – from the first impression through its last conversion. That is what we do every day for our media clients.
