23. STEP 1
REPOSITION YOUR COMPANY
• Position yourself as a performance media agency (not a
search agency)
• Change messaging on website (maybe change your
name if you're called search something something)
• Prepare a solid deck to help your sales team walk clients
through the reasons why they need to transfer all of
their display buying efforts to your agency (on top of all
their search, mobile and FB)
• Work with a trading desk to start (we can help you with
that)
24. STEP 2
Know Your Client
• Who is your real client?
• What makes your client more successful? What makes
them get fired? What keeps them up at night?
• What is the nature of your relationship with them?
• Are they pure DR? pure brand? Mix of both? Find out.
25. STEP 3
Know Your Enemies
• Know what agency or network is currently selling them media
and why they must be replaced by you (hint - they can't do
search and they can't do FB)
• Ask your client how they like working with them and what they
like and displace about working with the company.
• Know what your clients' competitors are doing with display.
Usually gets them motivated when they see they're being left
in the dust
26. STEP 4
Educate Your Client
• Display then and now - different animals
• Amount of money going toward working media
• Avg CPM of network buys vs RTB
• Power of RTB with Acquisio and TTD
27. STEP 5
Baby Steps
• Start with retargeting in most cases, small budgets, and focus
on search retargeting
• Add site retargeting as a second iteration (more money)
• Finally start moving them toward buying RTB with other data
and compare your results to the next guy's results.
28. STEP 6
Be Transparent
• methodology plus technology = competitive edge.
• be transparent, show client why technology is critical to success
in this game
• give them a demo of your platform, take them through all the
options so they can understand the fundamental shift that took
place from the time they just let the networks manage their
money to now
• work with them to determine how reporting will work
29. STEP 7
Show Scale
• Following this demo you should expose your client to the size
of the opportunity on RTB
• Start talking about valuing view through impressions using
attribution modelling
• Show them how attribution models are built to give display the
credit it deserves
30. STEP 8
Prove ROI
• Go for maximum share of voice in a limited GEO to prove lift on
brand queries
• Start proving to your client that display increases brand
awareness
• Run branding ads and monitor web analytics for brand queries
and direct navigation for that geo, there should be a lift within
days.
31. STEP 9
Morph Your Team
• develop your display expertise in relation to the other channels
• Hire a media buyer and planner - then teach them how it's
done with RTB
• Hire creative director - prepare to start pitching ideas
• Hire data people
• Build and implement your methodology
32. STEP 10
Big Brand Bucks
• Money needs to move online but it doesn't have a great place
to be spent to support brands

to buy display for branding - don't miss this boat.
