And this is exactly the strategy we chose for our client EU-nabytek.cz. We supported Seznam Native with Sklik campaigns – and in the next few paragraphs we will show you the mechanics of this partnership.

Seznam Native

Content created by Seznam in cooperation with the client. Seznam Native helps the client tell stories and inform readers about interesting topics. In cooperation with EU-nabytek.cz, we created an article: 7 tips for making a one-bedroom flat airy yet cosy with furnishings.

Campaign strategy and planning

Our goal was to reach the users who saw Seznam Native but did not click through on to the client’s website. This is a good way for improving the return on the initial investment.

Especially for Seznam Native, we commissioned a set of advertising banners and branding in the same visual identity with our in-house graphic design department.

Did you know that we have a team of professional graphic designers at Seznam who can create advertising graphics for you? If you are interested, contact your sales representative.

Using UTM parameters, we collected users in Sklik who read the article 7 tips making a one-bedroom flat airy yet cosy with furnishings and at the same time did not click on the client’s website (each link in the article had its own specific tag).

If you buy campaigns directly from Seznam (display advertising in guaranteed sale – for more information, contact your sales representative), it is possible to collect users who click on your ad into Sklik using UTM parameters. You simply set the RTG list condition to this UTM parameter.

We’ve set up retargeting campaigns for these users.

We divided the campaigns according to formats (banners, branding) and target groups and spaced them into individual days, so that we know how people react to advertising.

Dynamic retargeting, retargeting, product advertising and search run in Sklik all year round. These campaigns complemented our strategy.
