Questions about hiring a display advertising specialist
Straight answers to what NZ business owners ask us most.
How do I start a display advertising project?
Write a clear brief that describes your goal (awareness, retargeting, sales), target audience, budget and timeline. Relevant freelancers will apply and you can review proposals.
How does Unicorn Factory handle introductions?
A business creates a project brief, relevant freelancers apply, the business reviews applications, and Unicorn Factory makes warm introductions.
How long until I see results?
Timing depends on objectives and spend — awareness campaigns show reach quickly, while performance campaigns need time for optimisation and learning. Agree timing with the freelancer in your brief.
Which businesses benefit most from display ads?
Businesses wanting visual reach — product brands, events, and services that benefit from repeated exposure or remarketing — often see value from display advertising when the campaign and targeting are well planned.
How do I measure campaign performance and trust a freelancer?
Agree on key metrics (impressions, viewable CPM, clicks, conversions, return on ad spend) and a regular reporting cadence before work starts. Check freelancer profiles, relevant case studies, and ask about tracking methods they’ll use.
