Why s360

The programmatic agency for global brands

At s360, we partner with the best around by sitting at the heart of the eCommerce, digital marketing and media landscape in multiple markets. What that means for you is that your specialists are part of the programmatic ecosystem, affiliated with leading DSP's and placed to handle any direct programmatic buying.

We also know that being programmatic specialists isn't enough. Growing an international, omnichannel consumer brand is complex and requires different types of expertise. You'll be able to combine channel experts with market and category experts too. This means plugging a North America or APAC specialist into your team to help grow market share in a new region or adding a beauty, fashion or premium expert who knows what it takes to make your brand a category leader.

"s360 has been a key partner in Wrangler's FW19 ICONS campaign, and they've knocked it out of the park! Their knowledge on audiences, targeting, media and strategy is outstanding, and helped us deliver our best online media campaign to date. After working successfully on previous campaigns, we've come to the point where they are an extension of our own marketing team. Super fun and straightforward; absolutely would recommend them for any digital support!"

Programmatic Advertising Frequently Asked Questions

Why do brands choose s360?

Brands typically come to s360 when their ambition isn't being matched by their current agency. We have a team of 100+ s360ers working across EMEA, APAC & North America, armed with a marketing model honed over 20 years of growing international retailers. Changing agencies is never a fun process but whether your turnover ranges from £10m to £500m, your brand and budgets are in safe hands.

How proactive will my team be?

We don't do 'set and forget'. Instead we hire smart and driven people have an insatiable attitude to improve. As the architects of Ecom Leaders, a community of marketers, our conversations with you will be fuelled with industry trends and market insights. Expect s360ers to use these to proactively evolve your strategy; suggesting new consumer segments, a creative refresh, adding a new channel or launching into an emerging region. This has helped keep our average client growth rate at +18% for the last 3 years.

Will I see a "new face" every fortnight?

We aim to be a true extension of your team. An average s360 career lasts 5.5 years, meaning our clients avoid your the standard agency team churn. From day one we kick off with 'brand immersion' to understand how you tick, replaced by regular hotdesking and collaborative planning sessions to keep our partnership strong year-after-year. This might explain why we have client relationships stretching back to 2014.

Any other perks of partnering with s360?

Every agency has access to tools, platforms and methodologies. Where our s360 IP is different is how its born out of 20 years of only partnering with international consumer brands. We use s360 Measure's benchmarking data to understand where your brand is underperforming versus category demand. We carry out FY budgeting using s360 Growth with Media-Mix-Modelling tailored to an omnichannel buying journey. We evolve our own channel optimisations over time by plugging in AI, machine learning and other tactics that are proven to work across similar brands to you.

What other resources do s360 have to support Programmatic Display?

We have an in-house Content & Creative team who can advise on or create graphics, write copy, or run creative workshops to build up your branding and/or storytelling. We also have teams across Email & CRM, Performance Marketing and SEO, and like to work synergistically as much as possible (whether it’s with your teams or our own).

What is the difference between Display Advertising and Programmatic Advertising?

The core difference is that Display references the format of how ads appears, whereas Programmatic is how ads are bought.

Going beyond this, unlike Display Advertising where your ads will only be placed on a specific ad network - for example, Google Display Network when using Google Ads - Programmatic enables you to buy media space across a multitude of platforms

There are however some commonalities, namely that across both Display and Programmatic, brands have control over:

  • Bidding strategy
  • Audience
  • Budget
  • Placements
  • Creative assets

What are the benefits of Programmatic Display?

Incorporating Programmatic Ads into your digital marketing strategy provides many benefits

  • Testing and reaching new audiences on mass
  • Real-time behavioural analysis for timely optimisations
  • Leveraging first and third party data
  • Multi-channel activation
  • Cross-device campaigns
