Our Approach
Success factors

Audiences & targeting

We created a more granular campaign structure across audiences, topics and placements. Together with negative exclusions of targeting methods, this enabled us to see and optimise performance – raising the View Rate by 140%

Smarter bidding

With it’s increased granularity, the new structure made it possible to bid in a much smarter way. In turn, this has led to an 80% decrease in Cost Per View, and reduced the Cost Per Click from the YouTube ads by 43%

Awareness & bidding

Paradox Interactive pushed hard with their branding campaign on YouTube throughout 2017. They increased their investments by 244% compared with 2016. Going beyond all expectations, we were able to increase Views by 1657%, Earned Views by 1034% and clicks by 504% on their entire YouTube investment.

The team at Precis is genuinely committed to our success. It feels just like working with my own passionate colleagues.
