WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

We are an extension of your team that helps with the strategy of ad content and handles the distribution of ads to help better understand your customers through a comprehensive ad funnel experience applying data-backed decisions. Ad buying is so much more than paying for ad space to get in front of customers, hoping to drive sales with a profitable return. Anyone can create ads and target who you might think is your audience, but success is much more complicated than that. Every successful marketer understands that it’s a game of buying data. There is something to gain from winners and losers. All can be steps in the right direction. We want to make sense of every bit of data we collect and better understand our customers and what speaks to them. We do this to create an experience for those connecting with your brand. Our team knows how to make sense of every action a visitor takes from your ads through your site. There’s a science to it. So please think of us as an extension of your team because, at Mpire Media, you get a hive mind of top-tier marketing minds for less than what it would cost you to hire a single in-house media buyer.

We manage the purchasing of ad space on digital advertising platforms to generate revenue through the distribution of advertising content.

We buy ad space on the following ad platforms as needed where your brand and budget can benefit.

Account Management:

  • Budget allocation/planning
  • Spend management
  • Daily optimizations
  • Ad copy strategy/management
  • Shopping catalog management
  • Tracking implementation and management

Our process with paid ads will look something like this:

  1. Discover - We learn what’s working and use data to help us understand why it's working. We apply this to ad copy, creatives, and audience targeting.
  2. Optimization - The goal is to make you money and be efficient with our spending to make sure we are allocating more of the budget to winners and take from the losers to filter them out and learn from it.
  3. Pressure Testing - A/B Testing phases with specific winners.
  4. Scaling - Budget pacing on all winners while maintaining constant testing with an allocated testing budget.

We go to great lengths to understand your target customer through competitor research and industry insights to get a head start. We also do our due diligence to determine our most likely persona and combine that with appropriate audiences, language, tone, message/angle approach, and creative type to reach our target customers best.

With the assistance of special tools we use and 3rd party data sources, we can put together more accurate and targeted custom audiences to reach your ideal customers more effectively to feed the algorithm learnings quickly.

  • We work with any creative/content team by sharing industry trends and tips and using data analytics to make data-backed creative decisions. We share what creatives are working and which are not, and let the data help us understand the why so we aren't letting personal opinions get in the way of what ultimately gets you the best results.
  • We plan out a full-funnel creative strategy to give your customers the shopping experience that will ultimately drive conversions at scale.
  • Use the data analytics to develop creative, messaging, and target audience strategies that yield the best possible results.
  • Every creative team has its style. Only some styles are suitable for some brands; we have hand-picked creative partners, each of whom we have experience with being the best at the specific type of creative they make.

There is so much to learn from every dollar spent on advertising. Every bit of data is a stroke with a paintbrush in painting a big picture to understand our customers.

Advertising is a data game. The more unique data points you own and understand about your customers, the better your marketing efforts will be.

We use automated reporting dashboards to share our summarized paid media efforts. Keep up to date on daily/weekly/monthly reports on the fly that contain every bit of data represented in an easy-to-understand manner.

Attribution is vital to success. We highly recommend platforms like Triple Whale or Northbeam for your omni-channel tracking and attribution needs to manage post-iOS14 challenges most brands face today. These platforms are very effective in seeing that lost attribution due to 40% of the population opting out of tracking. We can tie every purchase to the customer and their entire journey from first seeing an ad to making the purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we manage your social media accounts?

No, we do not. Our efforts focus on making you money through purchased data media buying.

How long have we been doing this?

Mpire Media has been in business since 2015. Each media buyer on the team has been vetted through their work as media buyers and has at least five years of performance growth marketing.

What should you expect the ad budget to be?

You can win on just about any budget. The difference is how fast you will get results. There are benefits to spending more money (more algorithmic learnings, quicker results, etc.). If you are on a tight budget, we recommend spending a minimum of 3x your Average Order Value each day for a week (7 days). We recommend that because purchase behaviors online are different each day of the week, and 3x your AOV is enough for us to see some purchases roll through typically. The higher level metrics point us in directions for improvement from there.

Why are other agencies so expensive?

We get asked this question a lot. Short answer: so the owners can drive Lamborghinis on your dollar. There is no reason why any agency should charge a percentage of ad spend plus steep minimums. On the contrary, if any agency is charging too little, they are using AI to do their ads for them, which is already proven to not go over well in performance.

Why not hire an in-house ad buyer?

If you want the best performance from your media buying, you should hire an ad buyer who knows what they are doing. The cost of a skilled in-house media buyer will be a minimum $80k salary if you are lucky. That would cost your business $6,600/mo at least. Working with us, you get a hive mind of top-tier ad buyers for less than hiring one in-house media buyer.

Why doesn’t Mpire Media offer creative services?

Out of experience, it is best to stick to our lane. Yes, we could hire an in-house creative team, but when we already know teams that are very good at what they do, and with a strategic partnership, we could ensure each brand works with the creative teams that their brand needs. We too often see all-in-one agencies fail because every creative team has its own style. One or another agency's style might NOT be the best for your brand.

How is Mpire Media so affordable?

We have structured our business to act as a network of highly skilled media buyers and pay them half of the earnings of each client they manage. Each ad buyer is incentivized to perform in their assigned clients, allowing them to choose how much they want to earn. No team member is allowed to manage more than eight accounts to ensure they have the time in each account to meet client needs/goals.
