Display, Video and Remarketing Principles

Display and video are the easiest money to waste and the easiest to hide behind impressions. These are the rules that make them earn their place next to search.

  1. Buy outcomes, not impressions

    Every campaign has a cost-per-acquisition target or a lift target before it spends a dollar. Reach and views are inputs, never the goal.

  2. Remarketing is a courtesy, not a chase

    Frequency caps, short windows and a hard exclusion for people who already bought. The same ad fifty times costs trust as well as money.

  3. Segment on behavior

    Someone who read pricing gets a different message from someone who bounced from the home page. Audiences come from what people did, not who a vendor says they are.

  4. Creative is a sequence

    Plan the second and third impression before the first. Each one should add proof, an objection answered or an offer, not repeat the headline.

  5. Know where the ads run

    Brand safety, viewability and inventory lists are set before launch and reviewed monthly. Cheap impressions in places you would not want to be seen are not cheap.

  6. Prove the lift

    Geo and audience holdouts settle what display and video actually added. Platform attribution overclaims, especially on view-through, so it never decides budget alone.
