Brand campaigns,
managed on metrics.

Performance harvests today's demand; brand campaigns create next quarter's. OpenNexus develops creative from insights validated with data, and runs IMC that ties each channel's message into one campaign.

Overview

A brand campaign's impact should also show up in search volume and sales.

If the interest a campaign creates doesn't carry into search and purchase, it has done half the job. We plan the link to performance channels from the moment the brand message is set, and measure changes in awareness and sales together.

01

Insight-led strategy

We find the words and needs consumers actually express in search, social and review data.

02

Campaign big idea

We develop a campaign idea that works across every channel and touchpoint.

03

Brand × performance

We connect channels so the effect of brand campaigns carries through to search and sales.

Challenges

Brand campaigns
problems we solve.

Q1

We're launching a new product and worry it will get lost in the market.

A phased IMC plan, from pre-launch teasers to concentrated launch reach to post-launch conversion, builds awareness and early sales together in a short window.

Q2

It's hard to explain the impact of brand spend internally.

From the campaign planning stage, we build in a measurement framework that tracks brand lift, branded search volume and sales contribution together.

Q3

Each channel says something different, so the brand impression is scattered.

We set one campaign idea and one tone-and-manner guide, and manage channel variations so they stay consistent.

Q4

We've rebranded and want the market to know.

We define the core message of the new brand identity and plan separate campaigns to move existing and new customers over.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you run TV advertising?
We build integrated media plans that include TV and CTV, and manage reach overlap with digital to make the budget work harder.
How long does a campaign usually take?
For a launch campaign, 6 to 10 weeks of preparation and 4 to 8 weeks in market is typical. We adjust to the brand's situation and goals.
Can we hire you for creative only?
Yes. Results are best, though, when we also plan how the idea will run in media.
How do you prove a brand campaign worked?
We analyze pre- and post-campaign brand studies, brand lift tests, and trends in branded search volume and sales together, and report on all of them.
