AI in this service

How AI changes performance marketing at Grapefruit

Performance marketing already runs on machine learning bidding; the difference is what you feed it. We supply clean conversion data and many more creative variants, produced with AI assistance and approved by people, so platform algorithms have better signals. For UNTOLD, AI-assisted creative libraries per audience segment supported a campaign strategy across five ad platforms, alongside an 80% faster newsletter workflow.

Performance Marketing: frequently asked questions

Cannot find your question? Ask a senior specialist directly.

Which channels do you manage?

Google Search, Shopping, Display and YouTube, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, LinkedIn and programmatic display and video. We recommend the mix based on your audience and goals rather than running every channel by default.

Why start with a media strategy before spending on ads?

Without a strategy, budgets spread across channels with no clear role and results are hard to compare. A media strategy sets audiences, channel roles, budget allocation and KPIs, so spend is targeted and every campaign can be judged against the same business goals.

How do you report on spend and results?

Through a live dashboard and a monthly report that show spend, conversions, cost per acquisition, return on ad spend and what we changed. You keep ownership of ad accounts and data, so reporting is fully transparent.

How often do you optimise campaigns?

Bids and budgets are monitored continuously, creatives and audiences are tested every week, and strategy is reviewed monthly and refreshed quarterly. Major changes are agreed with you before they happen.

Can you run campaigns for international markets?

Yes. We run campaigns in several languages and markets, adapting creative and targeting locally while keeping brand consistency. For UNTOLD we ran a segmented strategy across five ad platforms for Romanian and international audiences.
