Our Paid Media Services
Programmatic Advertising
Reach specific audiences across the digital spaces they already use.
Programmatic Marketing is the practice of delivering ads to a pre-selected audience based on attributes such as geography, demographics, psychographics, and behaviors. Most commonly served in display, video, or audio format. Programmatic advertising begins with capturing an audience based on their online and offline behaviors. Targeting tactics include:
- Site Retargeting
- Search Retargeting
- Contextual Retargeting
- Affinity & Intent-Based Targeting
- Demographic Targeting
- Hyper-localized Targeting (Geo-fencing)
Once an audience has been defined, we can serve them ads on websites and apps connected to our Ad Networks (roughly 90% of ad-supported websites).
Paid Search
Show up when people are actively searching for what you offer.
Paid search helps your business appear in search engine results when users search for relevant products, services, locations, brands, or solutions.
When someone searches for a high-intent phrase like “roofing company near me,” “new Honda dealership,” “urgent care near me,” or “best HVAC repair,” paid search can help your business appear in one of the most valuable moments: when the customer is already looking.
Paid search can help you:
- Capture high-intent searches
- Drive calls, form fills, appointments, or purchases
- Promote key services or offers
- Support local lead generation
- Increase visibility for competitive keywords
- Complement organic search results
- Track conversions and campaign efficiency
Paid Social
Reach and engage your audience across the social platforms they use every day.
Paid social advertising helps your business deliver targeted ads across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Snapchat, and other social media networks, depending on your audience and goals.
Paid social can support awareness, traffic, engagement, leads, app installs, purchases, event promotion, and retargeting. It is one of the most flexible ways to reach audiences based on demographics, geography, interests, behaviors, and engagement patterns.
Paid social can help you:
- Build awareness with new audiences
- Promote offers, events, products, or services
- Generate leads through forms or landing pages
- Retarget website visitors or engaged users
- Support recruitment, franchise growth, or local campaigns
- Test creative and messaging quickly
- Reach people based on interests, behaviors, and location
Media Buying
Make smarter decisions across the full media landscape.
Media buying helps businesses plan, negotiate, place, and manage advertising across digital and traditional channels. That may include television, radio, streaming, out-of-home, digital display, audio, and other media opportunities.
The media landscape is crowded. There are always new offers, vendor packages, sponsorships, placements, and channels to consider. To save this hassle, you can leave it to a media buyer like Corkboard Concepts, who can choose the right media channels for your target audience. Strategic media placement is the best way to get the most value for your advertising dollar while reaching the people you need to.
How Paid Media Works Together
Better performance comes from a connected media strategy.
Paid media works best when every channel has a purpose. Paid search captures demand. Paid social builds interest and engagement. Programmatic expands reach and supports retargeting. Media buying connects broader awareness with strategic placement.
When those channels work together, your campaigns can reach people across more moments in the customer journey.
