What Role Should Display Advertising Play?
Treat display as a force multiplier: create demand, keep deals warm, and bring engagers back. Use prospecting, retargeting, and account-based “air cover”—all synced with HubSpot audiences, UTMs, and revenue reporting.
Display should build mental availability and accelerate pipeline, not just chase last-click leads. Run three pillars: Prospecting (contextual/intent/lookalikes), Retargeting (site, high-value pages, engaged contacts), and Account-Based Air Cover (target accounts and buying committees). Enforce frequency caps, creative rotation, and exclusions (customers, open opps). Measure beyond CTR with assisted conversions, meetings, and pipeline in HubSpot.
Display Plays That Work
Integrate Display with HubSpot
Centralize attribution in a HubSpot Campaign with strict UTM standards (source/medium/campaign/content). Build Active Lists for ICP, lifecycle stage, and behaviors (product/pricing views, webinar attendance) and sync to your display platforms for prospecting, retargeting, and ABM. Maintain suppression lists (customers, open opps, DNC) to protect efficiency.
Guardrail delivery with frequency caps by funnel stage, geo and language targeting, and viewability thresholds. Align offers to stage: light content for prospecting, social proof for retargeting, and conversion assets for high-intent. Connect Sales with alerts & sequences when display-engaged contacts hit score thresholds.
Report beyond clicks: track assists to meetings and opportunities, pipeline per $, and lift in branded search and direct traffic. Use dashboards to compare offer × audience × placement, then reallocate spend weekly.
