#1: Attribution Modeling

9  

>  Enables marketers to look at the history of ads/touches that contribute to a conversion over an extended period of time

>  Credit is given to each ad or “touch point” within the sales funnel rather than crediting the last ad clicked or viewed

Our Target Converter Is Not Clicking •  Our target audience is not clicking on banners, yet they are converting •  The demographic that is clicking is very different from the demographic

which is converting

Clickers primarily <18 and >50, with <$30K HHI

Yet Converters are primarily 18-49, HHI $60K+

Evaluating Display Beyond the Last Ad Served

•  Online media has traditionally been measured based on a “last ad” model, where 100% of the credit is attributed to the last ad clicked or viewed

•  However studies have shown that the “last ad” model may ignore up to 94% of media touchpoints in converter histories.*

•  Attribution modeling considers the relative contribution of those prior touches

•  End Result…ability to drive scale by validating impact of higher funnel media

New Control has recently been successful combining display and DM to increase response and lower overall CTA

>  50% lift in response rate over DM alone –  Neighborhoods that received display ads in addition

to DM against neighborhoods that only received DM

>  Overall, the display campaign had an estimated 2.83x ROI and incremental return on DM investment of 1.83x

Algorithmic Decay

The challenge is that these are theoretical attributions that don’t account for

channel or creative differences

We recommend a reactive algorithmic approach that measures the relative impact of each ad exposure in market in order to assign a weighted credit to that particular exposure

17  

How Attribution Works

•  Using a combination of in-market measurement and modeling, we can effectively and accurately attribute fractional credit for each conversion

OLM Display Impression #1

OLM Display Impression #2

SR Display Impression #1

Search Impression #1

CR x CTA x + + + =

OLM Display Impression #1

SR Display Impression #1

Search Impression #1

CR y CTA y + + =

OLM Display Impression #1

OLM Display Impression #2

Search Impression #1

CR z CTA z + + =

User Group A

User Group B

User Group C

By analyzing the differences between all of the in-market touchpoint paths that result in a conversion, we can deduce the relative impact of each individual impression and creative unit on conversion rate and CTA, and thereby assign the appropriate credit.

*Simple example for illustrative purposes only; ultimately there will be as many user groups as there are unique touchpoint paths

Mix  1  Scale:  A  

Cost-­‐Per-­‐Conversion:  Y  

Optimizing the DR Mix

>  A portfolio management approach defrays risk and achieves maximum results

>  Scale and Cost-Per-Conversion are balanced

>  Optimizing the mix is achieved through testing, sufficient data, and analytics

Mix  2  Scale:  B
