Social Audience Extension

How do you stay top of mind with decision makers when theB2B sales funnel is so long?

Retargeting the people who visit your website is a valuable content marketing tactic for your marketing team to leverage. Since buying decisions are typically made by a team of influencers, WATT Global Media can help you widen your reach using another type of retargeting campaign called Social Audience Extension.

Social Audience Extension facilitates your content marketing strategy under the umbrella of our respected industry brands. You won't risk exhausting your social media marketing budget trying to find prospects, influencers and customers because they have a track record of frequenting WATTPoultry.com and FeedStrategy.com. You will reach visitors of our websites and/or match an Agrifood job function in addition to sorting by geographic location.

WATT Global Media balances the social network landscape by leveraging proprietary data to target our niche Agrifood audience. We help you target the right decision makers on Facebook and LinkedIn. Even with a more professionally-focused audience on LinkedIn, WATT's Facebook ads have been just as successful. Why? Facebook helps you scale-up for an impactful outreach. People generally spend more time on Facebook than they do on LinkedIn, which boosts both reach and frequency, increasing clicks back to your message or landing page.

Either way, we've got you covered and can help you minimize budget waste and maximize audience reach via WATT social media channels.

How it works:

  1. Our sales managers can help you pick a platform, or you can try both
  2. Next, a targeted set of buyers and influencers are selected from our audience database of more than 105,000 Poultry, Swine, Dairy and Animal Feed professionals
  3. Then, our team executes  the campaign on selected channels targeting the anonymous site visitors of either FeedStrategy.com or WATTPoultry.com and your customized list of professionals
  4. At the conclusion of your program, you receive an executive summary of easy-to-understand metrics for each channel including the number of clicks, impressions and views
