Social media platforms have become indispensable tools for businesses to connect with consumers. Brands have a social presence to build meaningful relationships with their customers, foster brand loyalty, act as customer support, and ultimately drive revenue growth. Whatever the goal, marketers are heavily investing time and budget into their social strategy: Messaging, content calendars, production, measurement, and more.
This effort and investment is often bound by the walls of, well, the walled gardens. A killer TikTok video or an engaging Instagram carousel quickly gets buried and can struggle to reach your current followers.

Building awareness and developing brand recognition often require fresh, punchy creative and high-reach media tactics.
Let's talk creative first. Standard creative production is expensive. Brands place big bets on which creative concepts to produce without knowing if it will resonate with consumers. Because of the expense, even top tier brands tend to produce just one creative concept per campaign or reuse banners year after year. Even if a brand develops amazing creative, it still wears out far too quickly.
Spaceback units have no production fees and only take minutes to launch a new ad so advertisers can run fresh, timely creative for the whole campaign. The banners are created from the brand's social posts, which unifies messaging, streamlines internal operations, and allows for as many refreshes as needed with no additional production costs.
The second component required for building awareness is high-reach media tactics. Here, social media has done the hard work for us–brands can quickly identify which posts have been successful. Spaceback then instantly converts the posts to IAB standard ads and exports DCM ad tags in minutes. Add these tags to your DSP or other digital media buys and grow your awareness efficiently and effectively.
