MEDIA

Unlocking the full power of media

It’s time to shatter silos. Our media experts design truly integrated plans with your customers at the center. But how?

Our EMRge™ technology empowers our media experts to plan, buy, and optimize more effectively. Better yet, our marketers can unlock your media’s full power, leading to stronger revenue, customer, and brand (EMR) outcomes.

Our media services include paid media, owned media, retail media, creative, and strategic consulting.

  • Believe it or not, you can have it all.

    We customize our approach to your business and your customers. We plan, buy, and optimize your media to meet audience needs at each stage of their journey.   
  

    We’re your nimble, strategic partner through it all: the messaging and creative strategies, channel and partner tactics, integration of channels, and optimization of the full digital experience.
  


    And as your business grows, we evolve your media strategy to ensure your customers don’t get left behind.

    “Full-funnel strategies align every touchpoint, ensuring we drive both immediate results and sustainable, long-term growth across all channels.”
    — Annie Zipfel,
    EVP of Media, Ovative

    +153%


    With a full-funnel, integrated media plan in place, a $6B+ retailer experienced +153% year-over-year (YoY) growth in total revenue, exceeding its goal by nearly 10%.

  • Finished with useless metrics? Us, too.

    Maximizing your marketing return is about more than just optimizing to short-term, incomplete KPIs like reach, frequency, and return on ad spend.

    Combining EMRge™’s AI-driven technology and expert-led optimization, we evaluate media performance based on the bottom-line impact to your business goals.

    Then, we relentlessly test, measure, and optimize—all with immediate and future brand, customer, and revenue (EMR) outcomes in mind.

    “Relentless optimization is key. It turns every tactic into lasting, profitable growth."
    — Andy Pierce,
    VP of Paid Social, Ovative

    +17%


    With Ovative’s paid media optimizations, a $3B+ retailer experienced year-over-year (YoY) increases of +17% in EMR and +6% incremental return on ad spend (ROAS), even with a reduction in paid media investment.

  • We partner with only the best.

    We leverage top-tier partnerships to maximize our impact with clients. Our energetic focus on innovation has earned our experts industry-leading certifications and recognition.

    These partnerships give our clients exclusive and early access to alpha and beta testing opportunities, direct collaboration with partners, information on platform best practices, and more.

    Together, we’re unlocking innovation, access, and new capabilities in this fast-changing space—and ultimately driving performance and transformation for our clients.

    "Our partnership with Google unlocks exclusive opportunities, driving innovation and performance for our clients they can't get through other agencies."
    — Ericka Strickland,
    VP of Holistic Search, Ovative
