Whether you\u2019re in the market for a cup of coffee, a pair of shoes, or a thousand impressions on your digital ad, one thing is certain: It\u2019s going to cost you more than it used to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For context, the Cost per Mile (CPM) cost of Facebook ads have gone up by 89%[1]<\/sup> versus the previous year.<\/strong> For Google Ads, this number is up by 109%[1]<\/sup> Y-o-Y<\/strong>. That\u2019s more than double!<\/p>\n

Brands have consistently put all their eggs in one basket, relying on tier-1 search and social platforms like Google and Meta as the go-to channels for reaching their target audiences. However, the once-traditional route of advertising on these giants is now increasingly revealing its limitations<\/strong>, placing brands in a precarious position\u2014with the metaphorical basket at the risk of giving way anytime now.<\/p>\n

This (over)reliance has forced brands to deal with escalating costs<\/strong>, brand safety concerns<\/strong>, and a saturated market that diminishes the effectiveness of their ad campaigns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t take our word for it, 85% digital marketers are extremely worried about the rising cost of Facebook ads[2]<\/sup>. And 47% marketers believe they will be \u201cpriced out\u201d of the market if ad prices continue to go up[2]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This shift in effectiveness has underlined the urgent need for alternative avenues of online advertising. That is far from simple, with brands habituated to relying on the tired set of conventional platforms and ad formats. Amidst this clutter, VEVE stands out as a powerful solution to reduce dependency on traditional platforms and unlock new opportunities for success.<\/p>\n

At VEVE, we empower brands to fulfil their branding and performance KPIs outside the walled gardens of tier-1 search and social platforms.<\/strong> By leveraging VEVE’s innovative ad solutions, brands can capitalize on a range of benefits that drive superior results and a higher ROI:<\/p>\n

    \n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

      \n
    1.

With savings of 10-15% on PPC efforts, our ad solutions complement the rest of your media mix, meaning brands get more value for their advertising budget.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Experience a 3x increase in CTRs through Impact banners:<\/strong> VEVE’s Impact banners, strategically placed on browser and app start pages, drive heightened engagement and conversion rates.

        \"\"<\/p>\n
