Put your message in front of Riverside demand

Display exists to reach demand before it becomes a query. Judged as a click channel it always looks like a failure.

Carrying the part of the market that is not searching yet

Search captures people who already know what they want. In a market where a large share of buyers are on long cycles, that leaves most of the audience untouched. Display is how you reach them, provided you accept that its job is influence rather than immediate response.

Two things decide whether it works. The first is inventory quality, because cheap reach is cheap for a reason. The second is creative that can be understood in a second and a half, which is a discipline most display work never bothers with.

Measurement has to change with it. View-through behavior, branded search lift, and assisted conversions describe display honestly. Last click does not.

Police recruitment competes with every other employer for the same small pool of people who are willing and eligible to serve. Job boards reach candidates who are already looking. The department needed to reach the ones who were not, hold their attention long enough to consider the badge, and do it inside a two-month window with open positions waiting to be filled.

06Questions

Questions we are asked about this.

  • Does display still work?

    Yes, for awareness and for staying present through a long consideration cycle. It is a poor substitute for search when demand already exists.

  • How do we know it did anything?

    Hold out a region or an audience, then compare branded search and conversion behavior against the exposed group.
