How does Arc target the right audiences?

We use a mix of demographic, interest-based, contextual, behavioral, and remarketing targeting to reach the ideal audience. This can include affinity and in-market segments, custom intent audiences, lookalike modeling, and geotargeting. When available, we also leverage first-party data and CRM list uploads. We continually test and refine targeting to improve precision and drive the best possible outcomes over time.

Can display ads help with brand awareness?

Yes. Display advertising is highly effective at building brand awareness, especially when paired with high-impact creative and intelligent targeting. With broad reach, visual storytelling, and frequency control, display ads help keep a brand top of mind throughout the buyer’s journey. We also measure awareness using metrics like impressions, view-through rates, brand lift surveys, and engagement trends.

We’ll work together to develop a custom media plan that aligns with business goals and ensures a healthy balance of reach and performance.

Does Arc do retargeting with display ads?

Yes. Retargeting is a core part of our display advertising strategy. We use pixel-based and list-based remarketing to re-engage users who have previously interacted with the website or ads. This helps move prospects further down the funnel by delivering relevant messages at the right time. Retargeting can also be segmented by page visits, time on site, user behavior, or CRM data.

How does Arc prevent ad fraud?

We use a combination of ad verification tools, platform-level protections, and strict network selection to combat ad fraud. This includes filtering out invalid traffic (IVT), avoiding low-quality placements, and working with partners who offer robust fraud detection technology. We continuously monitor campaign health and placement quality to protect the investment and ensure ads are shown in brand-safe environments.

Can Arc run ads on both desktop and mobile?

Yes. All our display campaigns are designed to run seamlessly across desktop, mobile, and tablet devices. We create responsive ad formats that adjust to various screen sizes and optimize delivery based on where an audience is most active. Whether the goal is mobile-first visibility or multi-device coverage, we ensure the display ads are seen wherever the audience spends time.

How much do display advertising services cost?

Display advertising costs can vary widely based on the industry, targeting, platforms, and ad formats. On average, CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) typically ranges from $1–$10, while CPC (cost per click) often falls between $0.63–$2.70, though competitive industries may see higher rates. Programmatic platforms, premium placements, and highly specific targeting can also increase costs.
