How Performance Marketing Drives Growth and Success

What is performance marketing?

Performance marketing refers to a results-driven digital marketing strategy; one in which brands only pay when specific goals, actions or conversions are completed.

A performance marketing strategy leverages a variety of different channels for its success. Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, social media, content marketing – these are just a few examples of the channels required for effective performance marketing. 

Why is performance marketing important?

Performance marketing gives brands the freedom to create and launch marketing campaigns that are tightly focused to their specific goals.

By leveraging performance marketing, brands can identify the results they need, targeting specific audiences and monitoring the success of their campaigns. This targeted, results-driven approach to marketing empowers businesses to make the best use of their budgets, delivering more meaningful and impactful campaigns as a result. 

Key benefits of a performance marketing strategy

An effective performance marketing strategy unlocks a host of benefits for online businesses. Here, we explore a few reasons why performance marketing is so vital for modern digital brands – and how Ingenuity’s performance marketing service helps our customers meet their goals. 

Mastering multi-channel execution

In today's interconnected world, your brand's visibility across various channels is crucial to effectively capture and engage your target audience.

Shoppers today interact with businesses across a variety of touchpoints. DTC websites, social media, email, search engine results pages – all these channels and more are essential places of interaction between your brand and its customers.

But an effective multi-channel strategy requires a powerful driver behind it.

Ingenuity's performance marketing solution is designed to orchestrate and fine-tune your marketing campaigns across a range of platforms, from search engines and social media to email marketing and display advertising.

And the results of this are proven.

Alongside this, upper funnel investment positively impacted the channel mix. During the product awareness campaign, new users increased by 300% and revenue by 150%. 

With Ingenuity, your marketing efforts are seamlessly integrated, allowing for optimal ad placement, precise targeting, and personalized messaging that captivates your audience across every channel.
