Title:

Democratizing Attribution: Understanding the incremental impact of your digital marketing

Description:

Looking to the future, marketers need to take a hands-on approach to understand how attribution needs to be leveraged to inform their marketing performance. The speed of platform fragmentation is not slowing down, and before the next major wave of digital platforms moves to mainstream adoption (OTT, Podcasts, Programmatic Billboards, Smart Toasters etc.) we must adjust how we think about attribution and how we can influence other decision makers to act now before our competitors do.

Takeaways:

During this session, Simon will cover:

  • What is the point of attribution?
    • Why we need to check our egos at the door and work with each other to understand the impact of incremental investment across channels.
    • What should the outcome of attribution be, and why so many marketers are missing the point entirely with existing approaches.  
  • The fundamental components of attribution in a cross-device, cross-channel world
    • Why user identity graphs are important and how to build, and leverage them.
    • The application of different models & different look-back windows, and why there is no “one right answer” (even Data-Driven Attribution has it’s flaws)
  • What data needs to be included within an attribution model - going beyond just clicks & impressions.
    • Including metrics like reach, frequency, audience saturation rates, amongst others that truly help inform what optimizations we need to make.
  • A brief overview of the technologies marketers can leverage today, regardless of their budgets.
    • Enterprise options: Visual IQ, Neustar
    • Options for All: Google Analytics, Facebook Attribution (Core focus)
  • We have a model, now what? Insights & Optimizations
    • Actual examples of how various organizations have used solutions from Facebook Attribution to inform & optimize their marketing mix & the results they have seen as a result.

Search and Social: 3 Tricks to Make Your Advertising Work Better Together

Today, more than 8 million advertisers reach their customers online with search and social.

But as these platforms grow, how do we measure and ultimately optimize these campaigns in a world where users are increasingly connected and exposed to multiple campaigns across different networks and devices? Luckily, data within each platform can help optimize the others as well.

  • Detail how social campaigns influence customers in all stages of the funnel and measure their impact on other campaigns
