Performance Marketing at Scale: How Marin Unlocks Optimization Across Ad Platforms
Managing a performance marketing program at any scale is complex. The most basic program spans across at least 2 or 3 ad platforms (Google, Meta, and Amazon). And for most of us, it’s exponentially more complicated, with dozens of accounts spanning a gaggle of ad platforms; “marketing campaigns” that cut across the “Campaigns” at the ad platforms.
We have solved this challenge of understanding performance and optimizing across ad platforms with Marin Strategies. Strategies allow marketers to optimize subsets of campaigns based on shared objectives, whether it’s by product category, funnel stage, geography, or business line.
Now, we’ve made it even easier. With bulk creation and editing, Marin Strategies empowers you to manage optimizations at scale, making campaign management smoother, faster, and more effective. Read on to learn more about how Strategies can transform your workflows and unlock growth.
The Challenge: Managing Complexity Across Platforms and Business Goals
Digital marketers today are tasked with juggling multiple ad platforms—Google, Meta, Amazon, LinkedIn—each with its own optimization levers, reporting structures, and bid strategies. On top of that, different parts of a business often have distinct objectives:
- Retail brands need to optimize differently for high-margin vs. low-margin products.
- Lead gen marketers structure campaigns around funnel stages, balancing efficiency with volume.
- Global brands require geo-specific strategies with different performance benchmarks.
- Agencies need to manage multiple clients while maintaining efficiency across accounts.
Trying to align all these moving parts manually is a daunting task. That’s where Marin Strategies comes in.
