Challenges

Targeting Complexity

Reaching highly specific HCP audiences across diverse specialties while maintaining relevance.

User Sensitivity

Delivering non-intrusive ads in a secure, professional environment.

Reporting Limitations

Generating comprehensive reports required manual integration of event logs into an external data lake.

Outdated Tools

Their previous hard-coded ad system was rigid and limited scalability, making campaign management time-consuming and inefficient.

Switching to AdButler has brought us into the modern ad-serving landscape, allowing for seamless management of multiple campaigns.

How AdButler Solved These Challanges

Precision Ad Targeting for HCPs

AdButler enabled Skipta to use unique identifiers to match users with target lists effectively, allowing hyper-targeted campaigns. This flexibility addressed Skipta’s need to deliver relevant ads to HCPs across different medical specialties.

Enhanced Click-Through Rates

With optimized ad placements and precise targeting, Skipta achieved a remarkable 2.18% CTR—well above the healthcare industry average of 0.4%-0.8%.

Streamlined Reporting and API Integration

Integrating event logs into Skipta’s data lake enabled custom, client-specific reports. Planned Q1 enhancements, such as storing target lists natively within AdButler, promise to simplify workflows further.

While reporting capabilities in the frontend software package are currently limited, the ability to integrate event logs into our data lake has allowed us to create customized reports tailored to client needs. The upcoming feature to store target lists directly in AdButler is expected to reduce reliance on custom code, streamline workflows, and enhance ad targeting efficiency.
