Display Advertising Agency
A Display Advertising Agency for Buyers Who Need More Than One Look
Our display advertising agency puts your banners in front of two groups on the websites and apps they use: people who have not come across you yet, and people who visited your site and left. A senior media buyer plans both, caps how often past visitors see you, and judges the work on enquiries and sales.

Who this is for
Display habits that waste budget
The same banner, again and again
Your retargeting runs without a cap, so one person sees the same banner over and over, even after buying. A frequency cap limits the repeats, and your customer list, set as an exclusion, leaves buyers alone.
Remarketing lists and nothing else
Your display budget all goes on Google Ads remarketing lists, so banners only meet people who already know you. Prospecting through contextual placements, and programmatic audiences modelled on your best customers, reaches people new to you.
Ads on sites unrelated to you
Nobody can tell you where your banners appeared, or they turn up on sites with nothing to do with what you sell. Contextual and placement targeting puts them on pages about your products or services.
One banner squeezed into every size
One design has been cropped into every ad size and never moves. We design still, animated or rich media banners for each size you need, or rework the creative you already have to fit.
What we do
What a display advertising agency decides first
Display advertising places image, animated and rich media ads on websites and apps through ad networks and exchanges. It does not answer a search; it appears while people browse, so the first decision is who should see it.
Strangers need prospecting: audiences that resemble your best customers, placed beside content related to what you sell. Past visitors need retargeting, which returns to people who showed interest and left before acting. We plan both as one programme, with separate audiences for each, so display covers the whole buying journey. AI tools speed up our audience analysis and creative tests. Every targeting and budget call is still made by an experienced media buyer.
From audience lists to banner tests
Our display advertising services have six parts, weighted to your goals.
Audience plans
Prospecting audiences modelled on your best customers and retargeting lists of past visitors, split between Google Ads display campaigns and programmatic buying rather than all left to one platform.
Contextual placements
Ads placed on pages whose subject matches what you offer, with each placement judged on the enquiries it brings, not the impressions it collects.
Programmatic buying
Our media buyer writes the rules, covering audiences, kinds of site and budget, and software buys ad space that fits them across exchanges and networks.
Banner and rich media design
A separate layout for each standard ad size, made to stand out on a page crowded with other adverts, not a stock template.
Retargeting in sequence
Past visitors grouped by how far they got before leaving, each group shown its own messages in a set order, under a frequency cap.
Format tests
Still, animated and rich media versions of a banner compete in each ad size, and spend shifts to whichever brings enquiries rather than clicks.
What a display report should tell you
Your report shows cost per result, impressions, clicks and view-through conversions, but none of them is the verdict. Platform figures tend to overstate their own part, so we check them against your analytics and CRM. The verdict is the leads and sales that follow, including calls and sales that close offline weeks later. Optimisation is weekly, the strategy review monthly, and your dashboard shows spend, leads, cost per lead and revenue.
Display alongside your search and social
Display is one part of our PPC Management service, planned with your Google Ads and Paid Social campaigns by one team that also works across SEO. That lets retargeting reach people who arrived through your SEO, GEO content or direct mail and left without enquiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Image, animated and rich media adverts shown on websites, apps and ad networks rather than in search results. They reach new audiences, bring back people who visited without buying and keep you visible through a long decision. We buy them through Google Ads display campaigns and programmatic exchanges.
Your site adds each visitor to an audience list, and your banners can then appear to them on other websites and apps they use. Good retargeting speaks to the page each person left and drops anyone who has since bought, so the ads stay relevant.
To reach people who came to your site but did not enquire or buy, whichever channel first brought them. It is the job we give Google's display campaigns most often, with prospecting there only where the audience data supports it; new audiences are otherwise reached through contextual placements and programmatic buying.
Display space bought by software, which uses data to pick placements across ad exchanges and networks, instead of a person booking sites one at a time. We run it beside Google Ads display campaigns and check each week where it placed your banners and what those placements brought in.
Yes, for particular jobs: winning back visitors who left without converting and staying in sight of buyers who take time to decide. Expect more from banners beside search and social than on their own. Results cannot be promised, so we judge them on the enquiries and sales that follow and say when they fall short.
Split your audience into new and returning people, set up conversion tracking, design banners for the standard sizes, pick placements and judge results on leads, not clicks. You can run that in-house; a display advertising agency makes sense when you want specialists, and each person on our accounts brings 8+ years' experience.
