Intelligent automation: The secret to an advertising executive’s success and happiness
Automation can be daunting. Some may anticipate a future when machines are behind desks, there’s a lack of trust with algorithms, and let’s face it—in a world where we hear about a new, more infectious COVID-19 variant—there’s not much we can control.
However, our lives seem to have gotten busier, and automation is a tool that can help us. At work, how often do we deprioritize the most creative and strategic work that will transform our businesses because our teams are spending countless hours manually getting things done? At home, we could all use some personal time back to focus on what matters most — to read our favorite book, spend it with our family, or simply get on our Peloton exercise bike.
Is that possible? We are here to share our secret sauce to getting time back while improving your return on investment (ROI). Let’s start by looking at some of the industry leaders who have used Microsoft Advertising intelligent and automated products to their advantage.
Customer success through automation
British Gas:- After discovering Responsive Search Ads (RSAs), British Gas was able to refocus on high-impact projects and improve account performance.
- They saw a 44% increase in click-through rate (CTR) and got two hours back weekly, which used to be spent on manual optimization, to work on other projects.
- Upon implementing Enhanced Cost Per Click (eCPC) and Target Cost Per Acquisition (tCPA), Lesfurets drove a 182% increase in conversions year over year.
- They were able to create a “’big impact on revenue for relatively little effort’” after giving the sophisticated bidding algorithms time to learn and optimize towards their goals.
Saving time through intelligent automation
Automation, especially combined with artificial intelligence (AI), can save you time. While automation by itself can assist in completing tasks, especially those that are repetitive, intelligence elevates automation. It learns from completing tasks influenced by the infrastructures you design, and real-time auction signals to automatically adjust along the way.It can:
- Save you time so you can focus on growing your business
- Focus on your most creative, high-impact, and strategic work by letting automated solutions assist with tactical and repetitive tasks
- Adjust swiftly with marketplace dynamics that are seasonally, or lately COVID-19 driven
