Jaymie Scotto & Associates (JSA), the preeminent provider of public relations, digital marketing and event planning services for the telecom, data center and tech industries, reports that its clients are increasing digital advertising budgets to secure fresh, engaged leads as face-to-face meetings are postponed, conferences are cancelled and direct sales campaigns are frozen.

JSA is working with a number of new and existing clients to quickly shift focus from traditional in-person methods of lead generation to a highly-targeted digital advertising strategy led by the agency's dedicated in-house digital marketing team.

At the beginning of the global pandemic, we quickly shifted to an all-virtual digital marketing strategy with JSA's support. Our lead generation campaigns leverage both LinkedIn Ads and Google Ads with a variety of ad formats, including lead gen forms, videos, text ads and display ads. We have been very pleased with how JSA has applied their expertise to each of these campaigns to fine-tune our target keywords and messaging to maximize exposure to our target markets, resulting in a 123% increase in total visitor website traffic and 775% increase in leads over the past three months.

- Andy McNeill, Founder & CEO of American Meetings


"When we wanted to promote attendance of our annual OCP Global Summit, we looked to JSA for their digital marketing expertise, specifically with LinkedIn Lead Gen Ads, to target a key C-Level audience," states Dirk Van Slyke, Director of Marketing, Communications & Events, for the Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP). "Their efforts resulted in increased web traffic and 74 new leads within 20 days of the event."

To beat through a crowded competitive environment, your call to action must be seen, read and re-emphasized through at least 6 different channels, before the intended buyer truly begins to recognize your brand power and takes the next step to engage with you. Our content and PPC teams work hand-in-hand to develop client-specific digital ad campaigns, where we identify buyers, their pain points and their preferences, including their research sources such as blogs, online journals, social groups, virtual events, webinars, Amazon, etc. With this strategic research, we are able to ensure highly-targeted social and search advertisements and retargeting, so our clients' clear messaging and calls to action appear in the right places, at the right time, to support our clients' sales goals.

- Jaymie Scotto Cutaia, CEO of JSA

As a result of the economic downturn brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, many financial institutions shifted their investment strategies to focus more heavily on digital advertising. This led to a significant increase in competition on platforms such as Google, Facebook, TikTok, and Line, which in turn drove up customer acquisition costs for banks. Our client's marketing team was struggling to keep up with these rising costs and maintain profit margins.

MAGNA and Roku Find Creative Streaming TV Ads 2X Better Than Traditional TV Ads

MAGNA | January 23, 2023

MAGNA Media Trials, the industry-leading proprietary research offering of MAGNA, and Roku have just announced a new study in cooperation with the Roku Brand Studio, which reveals that new video ad formats in streaming TV are twice as appealing to consumers as traditional TV advertising. Currently, marketers strive to stand out in the transition to streaming. However, traditional TV ads alone miss an opportunity to surprise and excite viewers throughout streamers' journey outside the traditional ad break. Beyond the: 30 on streaming TV investigates how marketers can create more engaging and powerful ad experiences on the platform. There were tests of three new "Beyond the: 30" video ad formats: Roku Original Vignette: A 30-second ad in which a brand references the Roku Original program being streamed. Thematic Tagged Vignette: A 30-second animated commercial in which a brand celebrates streaming. Watch Alongs: During commercial breaks, the brand sponsors discuss the television show or movie being streamed. All three "Beyond the: 30" ads outperformed traditional TV ads in terms of top-of-mind brand recall (+57% "Beyond the: 30" vs. +43%), brand favorability (+8% vs. +3%), and intent to search (+16% vs. +9%). These findings demonstrate the great potential of "Beyond the: 30" advertisements, which include increasing brand awareness and boosting sales. Multiple brands from many verticals participated in the study, including T-Mobile and Subaru. A home-based panel of 1,316 viewers was randomly split between exposed and control groups, who saw their preferred content intermingled with streaming-specific and traditional ads. Following the content viewing experience, viewers were questioned to evaluate the effect on brand key performance indicators (KPIs) and to get a deeper understanding of consumers' perspectives. About MAGNA MAGNA is the worldwide leader in media investment and intelligence. Its reliable data, innovative trial offerings, industry-leading negotiation skills, and exceptional consultancy solutions provide clients and subscribers with a compelling market edge.
