Just as individuals are more likely to buy products from a brand they know, people are most likely to make an application for a task at a company they have actually heard of. Brand Awareness campaigns are enhanced to be seen by a broad swimming pool of people that are most likely to be thinking about your company.

These ads will not directly drive traffic to your website, but they get prospects knowledgeable about your organization and prepared to click when the perfect position comes along.

Awareness campaigns can be about nearly anything that shines a light on your business. Announcements about development and awards, articles about business efforts and employment culture, and videos about the company’s achievements and objective can all be become captivating projects.

Traffic

In the Wonderkind platform, this is referred to as a “Clicks” project. These advertisements are targeted to reach an audience that is likely to click on the link in your ad.

Conversion

Conversion campaigns are what people tend to think of when they think about marketing. These campaigns track and optimize towards someone carrying out an action on your site, such as sending an application.
