Programmatic advertising for SaaS is fundamentally different than B2C programmatic. You're not optimizing for clicks — you're optimizing for pipeline. You're not buying broad audiences — you're targeting specific accounts at specific buying stages. You're not measuring conversions in days — you're tracking influence on 90–180 day sales cycles. North American Media Experts Inc. builds SaaS programmatic the right way.

SaaS-specific programmatic capabilities

  • Account-based targeting — Bombora, Demandbase, 6sense, ZoomInfo integration for ICP account lists
  • Intent data activation — target companies actively researching your category
  • Executive-level CTV — reach C-suite at home where they actually watch streaming content
  • Multi-touch attribution — measure programmatic's role in 90–180 day pipeline, not last-click
  • LinkedIn integration — programmatic + LinkedIn Ads coordinated for full ABM execution

How we structure SaaS programmatic campaigns

  1. Tier 1 awareness: target ICP companies, executives, and decision-makers with brand and education content
  2. Tier 2 consideration: retarget engaged accounts with case studies, demos, comparison content
  3. Tier 3 decision: retarget hand-raisers with bottom-funnel offers (trial, demo, RFP)
  4. Tier 4 expansion: post-sale upsell campaigns to existing customers

SaaS programmatic benchmarks

  • CPM: $8–$15 (B2B targeting premium)
  • View-through conversion rate: 0.05–0.2%
  • CPA (qualified lead): $200–$1,200
  • ROAS measured by closed pipeline, not click conversions

Minimum effective SaaS programmatic budget

For meaningful ABM coverage of even a small ICP (50–200 accounts), $10k–$25k/month minimum. Below that, focus on LinkedIn Ads instead.
