The best online marketing is personalized, emotionally resonating, and dynamic. That’s why more brands than ever are leaning into dynamic creative advertising for both their desktop and mobile marketing campaigns.
But what exactly is dynamic creative marketing, and how does it work? Read on to discover the answers to these questions and much more.
Dynamic creative is a programmatic advertising method. It updates real-time advertisement elements, messages, and the context based on rules or predefined parameters. As a result, two visitors looking at the same website in the same advertisement might see two different messages or two different ad elements.
In other words, it's dynamic. Even better, it's often automated. Automated dynamic creative advertising lets marketing firms and businesses create relevant and personalized ads for each user from moment to moment.
This way, everyone feels explicitly marketed to, resulting in a more efficient and profitable ad campaign.
For example, an automobile manufacturer might use dynamic creative ads to showcase specific vehicle models or types to different users based on location (derived from those users' IP addresses).
A person living in a mountain town might see an advertisement for a new SUV with four-wheel drive. A person living in a metropolitan area might see an ad for an eco-conscious electric vehicle instead.
It’s easy to imagine why advertisers and businesses leverage dynamic creative advertising frequently.
Dynamic creative marketing can provide tons of significant benefits to your brand, including:
The correct dynamic creative assets and algorithms will help you see better marketing metrics on all relevant ads. This can enhance your digital advertising campaign and conversion rates like never before.
Given these significant benefits, it’s a no-brainer to start using dynamic creative advertising immediately. That’s doubly true if your brand is looking to expand soon or if your current marketing campaign has stalled or slowed.
Although dynamic creative ads can be highly effective and beneficial for your brand, you must follow certain best practices to use them well.
First and foremost, define the scope of your dynamic creative marketing campaign.
In other words, you need to:
By identifying these factors early on, you'll avoid accidentally overspending or marketing to the wrong group of people.
In keeping with the above, you should do tons of target audience research before launching any dynamic creative content. The better you understand your target audience, the more likely your dynamic content will resonate with them.
However, because dynamic creative advertisements must include many moving pieces and different creative elements, expect your target audience research to take longer than average. In effect, you’ll need to research each subsidiary group in your main audience by age, interest, and spending level.
Still, this groundwork is well worth it in the majority of cases. When you understand your audience members, your personalization efforts will be more successful, and each visitor to your website will feel seen, marketed to, and treasured as a customer.
Those factors make them more likely to buy something from your e-commerce store or retail brand.
The best-performing dynamic creative ads and marketing materials utilize versatile ad templates and often multiple marketing channels to reach the right audience.
Creative templates for your dynamic ads will include at least a few different switchable or adjustable parts, such as the following:
It’s best to start with a simple ad template through which your programmatic advertising management platform can easily swap out one element or another.
For instance, if you make a dynamic creative ad that includes a basic product name, a picture of the product, and a CTA, it’s easy for the programmatic advertising platform to swap out any of those elements as needed based on the data it receives about the incoming site visitor.
The more versatile your ad templates are, the better and more cost-effective your dynamic creative ad campaign will be. Ensure your ad variations provide good ad experiences for your customers, though. Even basic display ads need to send the right message.
At the same time, your simple ad templates must use compelling elements, like pictures, graphics, CTAs, and other ad copy. Hiring knowledgeable digital marketing experts to create your campaign's ad elements is a good idea.
Remember, dynamic creative advertising is only as effective as the content you provide to your target audience members.
The format alone isn’t enough to inspire a visitor to convert into a paying customer. Remember this for on-brand social media ads, as competition can be fierce on social platforms.
Naturally, you can and should continually monitor the campaign performance of your dynamic creative materials. Continuous monitoring and iteration are critical to learning more about your target audience and mastering your new, ongoing marketing campaign.
Don't assume you can "set and forget" your dynamic creative ads and never have to adjust them going forward.
Dynamic creative advertising has the potential to bolster your marketing campaign’s overall success. The correct dynamic creative marketing materials can reach your customers like never before and maximize every marketing dollar you spend.
