Rétines: Enhancing the Visual Impact of Campaigns
In SEA and display strategies, the visual is the first element that captures attention. Even the best targeting will underperform if the image doesn’t convert.
Rétines contributes by producing:
- Optimized product visuals, tailored for Google Shopping formats or HTML5 banners
- Lifestyle or in-context images to strengthen display campaigns
- Conversion-driven photos used in targeted landings or remarketing formats
We work in close coordination with campaign managers to ensure visual consistency, a clear message, and maximum performance.
