What are objectives, why they matter, and how to select them.

Updated over 6 months ago

First, you'll choose an advertising objective

Selecting your advertising objective will surface a pre-determined list of optimization goals. There are 2 ad objectives to choose from:

If Awareness is your goal, no event is required. If Conversion is your goal, you'll select however many events you want to track on your website.

  • Awareness
    Select this objective if you want to increase awareness of your brand’s message by maximizing the number of people that see your creative. This objective will open a reach-based optimization under the goal section.

  • Conversion
    Select this objective if you want to drive people to your website and/or drive specific actions on your website. This objective requires a pixel to be placed, and will open conversion-based optimizations goals like page views or purchases.

Next, you'll choose your optimization goal

Selecting the optimization goal tells Roku Ads Manager what to automatically optimize your campaign towards.

  • Awareness objectives will default to Reach. Roku will automatically optimize your campaign to maximize reach by putting your ad in front of the most net-new people within your audience and geographic targeting parameters.

  • Conversion objectives require a base pixel and events to installed on your website. Once your base pixel and events are set up, select the most important conversion actions from the drop-down list. Roku will automatically optimize your campaign to maximize this specific action (like page views, sign-ups, or purchases).
