Introduction

The Reach objective for campaigns allows you to target a small, but highly relevant, audiences while controlling the frequency of the ads that you serve. The main aim of this objective is to maximize impressions and drive brand awareness. Want to target a narrower audience? With this objective, your ads can also be repeated to maximize their impact.

With the Reach objective, you can:
 

• Maximize your reach over the full length of your campaign
• Set the minimum number of days before the same person sees your ad again through frequency controls
• Use location targeting

How to use the Reach objective

When setting up campaigns via the standard workflow in Marin Social, you will find this objective in the Objective drop-down menu, in the Branding sub-section. 

When setting up the rest of your campaign, including ad sets, ensure that you select Reach in each Objective field -- including Default Objective within the campaign parameters area of the workflow. 

The following ad types are available for the Reach objective:

• Bulk Page Post Creator
• Page Posts Ads
• Carousel ads
