Remarketing

As we head towards wrapping up 2024 and surge headlong into 2025, one of the many things that we have been thinking about is ways to improve client performance from both an efficiency (cost savings) and volume standpoint (devising ways to squeeze all the additional conversion volume and revenue that we can). One of the first things that comes to mind is remarketing; it is at once a strategy and a channel all its own – spanning every other channel at this point with only one real exception – organic search. Anything paid, including referrals, can fall into the scope of active remarketing. 

And with the advent of AI, and namely predictive analytics, remarketing can now be executed at a rapid pace, at scale and with a level of confidence and visibility that we could not have even dreamed of just five years ago. 

The most appealing thing about remarketing is found in the numbers. Across 2023 and into 2024, we have seen exceptional performance across both B2B and B2C sides of the business.  We typically see a 50% lower cost per acquisition (CPA), a 25% increase in conversion rate (CVR), and a 20% lower cost per click (CPC). We cover this in more detail further on in this blog post.

Google Antitrust case blog

What's Going On?

On August 5th, 2024, Judge Amit Mehta issued a ruling in the case of US v. Google. This was the biggest tech antitrust trial since the US v. Microsoft case back in the 1990’s, and without a doubt has resulted in the most significant outcome since, as the ruling concluded with Google on the losing end. In the ruling, Judge Mehta declared that Google “is a monopolist, and had violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.” So, what happens next?

Thinking Back...

Fourteen years ago, I left my former company after ten solid years and significant professional growth. When that company was acquired about eight years in, many of my friends were let go. I was fortunate enough to have ‘made the cut’ and stayed on board. And the stars happened to align. The company embarked upon an aggressive acquisition strategy in the software industry, which happened to be exactly where my entire career up until that point had been spent. That, coupled with an incoming company president who thought I would be a valuable asset in pursuit of that strategy, led to my getting much more involved on the business end of things. During the ensuing year, I met a number of entrepreneurs and risk takers who, while I may not have realized it at the time, would have a profound impact on my future life choices. At the same time, I met someone on a poker table who became my best friend and who was a serial entrepreneur, from a family of similarly brilliant entrepreneurs. Hence, a spark was lit!

2023 Inc. 5000 Was An Amazing Event!

So, I’m just getting settled in coming back from the #Inc5000 Conference in San Antonio, TX last week and really wanted to share my thoughts on this amazing event. 

First, here is the backdrop; I had been on the road in Colorado for an entire week prior to my arrival. For anyone who knows the Colorado Springs area, you know that the elevation is about 6,500 ft. Being a “sea-level” Jersey guy, that can have an impact!  As I arrived, I was a bit tired and road weary, and was not sure how much energy I was going to really have for the event.
