During a party, you spot a potential client and you walk up to her. There can be two approaches-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You introduce yourself to her, talk about your line of work, show her your portfolio, ask her about her new house, chat some more, say goodbye after exchanging cards and hope for a callback. <strong><b>This is brand marketing<\/b><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>You introduce yourself as an interior designer, make a small but attractive pitch and ask for the project. She agrees for a meeting. <strong><b>This is performance marketing. <\/b><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>Pros &amp; Cons: <\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the first case, you strike a chord with the client. She becomes aware of your past work and your USPs. She might or might not need you at this moment but there are high chances that whenever she or any of her friends would need help with interiors, she would remember you. <strong><b>So, in the short term, you might have spent half an hour of your precious time without getting the project, you have built a relationship here.<\/b><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>In the second case, call to action is very clear. She either needs you or not. If she hires you, it\u2019s very good but if not, it\u2019s ok because you didn\u2019t spend much time convincing her. <strong><b>However, she might forget you the moment she steps out of the party. <\/b><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>So, what\u2019s the best choice?

The objective here is brand awareness so the brand would like to reach out to maximum people possible. Unlike offline branding campaigns, specific audience cohorts can be targeted in digital campaigns and conversion is possible. However, the conversion is not the focus here. These campaigns are mostly run on <strong><b>CPM (Cost Per Mille) or CPD (Cost Per Day) <\/b><\/strong>basis.<\/p>\n<p>Best Example of Digital Brand Marketing Campaigns:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/digital\/hotstar-app-advertising\"><strong><b>Video Advertising on Hotstar<\/b><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-14106\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maxresdefault.jpg?resize=740%2C416&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Brand marketing on Hotstar\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maxresdefault.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maxresdefault.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/maxresdefault.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Digital Performance Marketing Campaigns- <\/b><\/strong>The focus here is conversion.

Perhaps not.<\/p>\n<p>According to our digital experts, many times, performance marketing like App Install campaigns bring a lot of installs for the brands but later result in the high number of uninstalls as well, making the effective CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) really high. There might be several reasons but one of the prominent ones is lack of brand awareness and trust.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@kaizenbarry\/is-it-really-brand-vs-performance-marketing-b3945e53b475\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><u>marketing blogger and former marketing executive for Netflix, Barry Enderwick,<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;brand and performance are two ends of the same spectrum and every advertiser\u2019s sweet spot lies somewhere between the two.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_new_advertisers\"><\/span><strong><b>Tips for new advertisers<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Performance marketing is a good idea but for a new brand, it might take longer to convert as the audience is unaware of the brand.
