The challenge

A multi-format affiliate team wanted more people to see affiliate offers, in United States, Brazil, Malaysia, without a big media budget or a marketing team running it every day.

What they did

  • Ran 364 campaigns on Push, Display and Pop-under, split by offer and country.
  • Used a fixed price, so every impression cost the same and the budget was fully predictable.
  • Capped frequency on 247 of 364 campaigns so the same person didn't see the ad too often.
  • Used day-parting on 48 of 364 campaigns to run only in the best hours.
