Kaizen Ad founder and CEO Kenji Sudo says,

“We are honored to be a part of this select group of partners.

ON-DEMAND NETWORK OF PROFESSIONAL DESIGN EXPERTS

Kaizen Ad has a vetted network of top video ad talent from around the globe, so we are able to source the “Optimizer” that fits best for each project. Optimizers are matched to each client based on their expertise. Marketers increase the relevance of their ads by receiving a greater variety of quality creatives from several Optimizers at once, as well as order creative for any audience, moment, context they choose.

Through this partnership, Kaizen Ad shares a close relationship with Google to keep our finger on the pulse of the latest developments in creative trends and standards. This helps our Optimizers stay up-to-date on best practices for App campaign (formerly UAC) so they can work with advertisers to get more out of their ad spend. Optimizers also draw inspiration from working alongside various app publishers and gaining a deep but panoramic understanding of effective creative design.

CREATIVE AT SCALE DRIVES PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES

Quality creatives are one of the most influential driving forces behind user engagement. App businesses must promote their products in a time when new formats, placements, and targeting tools are ever emerging, and when every platform demands people’s time and attention. One powerful way to reach more customers is by testing more innovative and creative ads.

Through our experience producing creatives for some of the world’s best app publishers, we learned quickly that testing early and often drives performance. Think with Google described the importance of understanding your audience and making ‘relevant’ video ads with the right message, creartive, and ad format, quoting that relevant video ads get 3X the attention of an average video ad*.

Diversifying based on audience segments and targeting users based on their mobile habits helps identify which assets and themes spark the highest levels of engagement. Google’s latest Unskippable Labs experiments** with video ads confirm that creative experimentation, such as testing more customized creatives based on audience signals, can lead to higher lift in ad recall and brand awareness. When Google tested 15-second video ads, creative customization had the most impact:

“In all three instances, the versions with customised copy and visuals drove significantly higher ad recall lift than the control ad. This held true across other brands and countries as well.”

Kaizen’s Optimizers use prior experience working with similar apps, combined with trained best practices learned for specific platforms (such as Google), to design effective elements, layouts, and copy. It’s easy to request assets in multiple sizes and aspect ratios – Optimizers will resize creatives quickly and deliver all necessary formats to increase the reach of your campaigns. Leveraging your best assets to align themes with targeted audience profiles is a best practice to help ensure your ads drive significant ROI.

GLOBAL REACH

Kaizen Ad’s global Optimizers have expertise in meeting localization demands for specific regions they specialize in, such as North America, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Optimizers create a variety of concepts that appeal to the target market. After testing, Kaizen can help marketers quickly iterate towards best-performing assets and themes. Winning creatives can be easily refreshed and resized to be tested across the demographic.
