If you’ve ever run a retargeting campaign, you know just how effective it is with converting visitors to your site into users and customers. Sites like AdRoll have mastered the user experience and has made retargeting an advertising luxury that can be used by the masses.
It’s ironic that the only problem about retargeting is that it works so well. When you are retargeting visitors to your site, you are limited in your retargeting efforts. You are only able to retarget users that actually land on your domain.
The problem with this is that there are tons of people that engage with your brand off of your site. That’s why Markerly decided to build retargeting into content campaigns. We build up your retargeting pool to include people that read about your brand on other websites and blogs.
Retargeting readers of your brand is also an extremely effective way to increase Brand Recall.
