SPARK Helps APEX Drive Paid Leads With Data-Driven Audience Targeting

The Challenge

APEX Spring & Stamping is an industry leader in manufacturing fabricated metal products, but they needed a more effective way to reach their specific B2B buyers. They felt stuck with their current lead volume and wanted a strategy that could drive highly relevant traffic to their site without wasting ad spend on broad, unqualified clicks.


APEX partnered with Michigan-based SPARK to create a custom media plan to target and convert their desired audience of manufacturers.

The Solution

Working with SPARK’s Digital Advertising Team, APEX implemented a two-pronged paid media strategy focused on increasing both visibility and online conversions.

First, the campaign utilized custom-designed creative from SPARK and precise audience targeting—including ABM lists, lookalike audiences, and NAICS codes—to ensure programmatic display ads appeared only to relevant buyers within a five-state region.

To maximize the budget effectively, SPARK then implemented a strategic retargeting campaign in Google Ads to stay top-of-mind with the new prospects who had visited key product or lead form pages on APEX’s website.

The result was a comprehensive ad strategy that drove qualified traffic to their website and increased web conversions over several months.
