In a recent Institute member webinar, Will Hayes, Senior Growth Strategist and Head of Paid Marketing at the Tobe Agency, shared an overview on how to implement a successful paid digital media campaign.
In this blog, we look to summarize his insights – but recommend that you take the time to review the webinar by accessing it in the Personal Marketing Webinar section found in your member portal.
THE OBJECTIVE
Like any other marketing campaign, Will recommends that it is always important to understand your objective. He shared that dividing the objective into three parts facilitates building a stronger campaign, by understanding:
- Business goals – ie. Increase in sales for the year
- Marketing goal – ie. Create new clients or new listings
- Campaign goal – ie. Increase lead generation
Thereafter, your campaign needs to be SMART:

To this effect, you will need to understand the importance of:

- Learning the best methods of lead conversion
- Appreciating the costs of digital media
- What to expect in terms of conversion rates
- Why testing is a necessary step.
