SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/27/15 — Companies with large-scale paid search marketing programs often struggle to manage and optimize budgets as market trends shift, and fail to modify budgets to achieve optimal ROI. Marin Software (NYSE: MRIN), provider of a leading cross-channel performance advertising cloud, today announced the launch of Budget Optimizer, an easy-to-use tool designed to help marketers accurately predict daily and monthly search spend levels, forecast revenue at various levels of investment, and optimize budgets across all their paid search portfolios.
With Budget Optimizer, digital marketers can get clear insights into how budgets impact ROI, so they can make smarter ad spend decisions and quickly seize valuable campaign optimization opportunities. The tool allows advertisers to build their portfolios towards desired performance KPIs at different spend levels using what-if analysis and factoring in seasonal trends (such as cold weather, Christmas, or the Super Bowl) with its transparent algorithm. After running different spend scenarios, marketers can choose the options that deliver the highest projected ROI, applying spend changes at the campaign, folder, or global level with just one click from a single screen.
– Budget Optimizer–s dynamic algorithm predicts future spend based on historical weekly and monthly trends captured across a marketer–s entire paid search program. This helps advertisers easily identify possible new investment opportunities and manage budgets more efficiently.
– Budget Optimizer–s what-if scenario forecasting feature helps marketers determine an ideal mix of spend to achieve targeted ROI levels, providing different scenarios from which to choose. The tool uses predictive modeling to calculate the ROI impact of spend changes at the program-wide or business-segment levels.
– Budget Optimizer gives advertisers the ability to quickly take action on favorable spend recommendations. With just one click on a single screen, Marin applies the projected recommendation across an advertiser–s entire portfolio, or at a folder or campaign level.
“Marketers running large-scale digital advertising programs have long struggled to manage budgets because they have no clear way to understand how shifting their spend would impact ROI at the campaign, folder, or global level,” said Matt Ackley, CMO of Marin Software. “With Budget Optimizer, marketers no longer need to –guess– how budget changes will impact ROI; they now have a powerful, predictive analytics tool that provides insights into possible budget changes to make and when, and in which parts of their paid search portfolios to make those changes. It also lets them make those changes with one click.”
“At Bing Ads, helping advertisers make smarter decisions and deliver better ROI is our number-one priority,” says John Cosley, Bing Ads Director of Brand and Digital Marketing. “Tools like Marin–s Budget Optimizer help make that happen.”
