Direct-marketing giant Guthy-Renker tapped Facebook’s Atlas advertising platform to gain better understanding of the relationship between display ads and paid search.

Atlas studied 12,000 online buyers of Proactiv skin-care products over a month-long period, from initial impression through to final purchase, and it found that 16 percent of them clicked on search ads for Proactiv after initially seeing display ads.
