Project Description
Reacher is a revolutionary digital marketing tool designed to streamline and optimize the entire digital advertising process. This tool serves as a centralized platform for modern production chains, assisting businesses in creating, selling/booking, initiating, monitoring, optimizing, producing, delivering, and visualizing digital marketing campaigns .
One of Reacher ‘s standout features is its ability to provide customers with real-time ad campaign previews and a comprehensive historical overview of all previously booked campaigns. By integrating with Reacher, companies can automate manual work processes, allowing staff to focus more on customer service. As a result, businesses can handle a significantly higher number of ad campaigns without the need to expand their workforce . Additionally, Reacher eliminates the expenses and maintenance tasks that come with operating multiple systems.
Another key advantage of Reacher is its adaptability . The tool boasts a flexible relationship with underlying and adjoining technologies and systems. This means businesses can effortlessly integrate Reacher with their preferred Demand-Side Platforms (DSP), Supply-Side Platforms (SSP), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. This integration further allows the creation and selling of unique target audiences through the Reacher interface.
Through Reacher , companies can stay ahead of the curve in a competitive digital marketing landscape, ensuring streamlined operations and maximized ROI.
Challenges
Developing Reacher, our team grappled with challenges like ensuring seamless integration with various DSPs, SSPs, and CRMs, optimizing real-time ad campaign previews, guaranteeing system scalability for growing user bases, maintaining user-friendly interfaces, addressing diverse client needs, and ensuring data security and privacy compliance in the rapidly evolving digital marketing landscape.
Approach & Results
When embarking on the development of the Reacher software, We approached it with a vision of bridging the gap between digital marketing needs and effective execution. Here is how we did it:
- User-Centric Design: Understanding the end-users is paramount. We initiated in-depth user research to tailor functionalities that directly address their challenges. A user-friendly interface can reduce the learning curve and boost adoption rates.
- Scalable Architecture: Digital marketing is dynamic. Thus, it’s essential that Reacher be future-proofed. By building a scalable framework, we ensured that as marketing trends evolve, Reacher remains relevant and adaptable.
- Seamless Integration Capabilities: Knowing that businesses use varied tech stacks, we emphasize creating a software that easily integrates with existing DSP/SSP and CRM systems. This not only improves workflow efficiency but also allows data continuity.
- Automatization to Optimization: By focusing on automating manual processes, we provided users the chance to spend more time on strategy and customer engagement, maximizing their campaign effectiveness.
- Robust Analytics: To make data-driven decisions, we integrated powerful analytics tools that offer insights into campaign performance, enabling real-time tweaks and fostering continual improvement.
Reacher has been nominated in two categories in INMA Global Media Award 2019 hosted in New York.
Client’s opinion:
