A MARKETER’S GUIDE8 Mobile Experts Share Tips on Solving For Cross-Device Attribution

CLICK TO START

PRESENTED BY:

With consumers moving between their devices and across channels, the path-to-purchase is no longer linear. Today’s purchasing journey looks more like a flight map with consumers researching on one device, and buying on another, while engaging with a variety of media types. This has created the ultimate measurement challenge for marketers as they strive to measure the success of their marketing strategies.

The only way to gain an accurate view of your marketing mix is to develop a deeper understanding of attribution and the value that each strategy, device, and channel adds to your overall plan. Consumer engagement with online video may differ from engagement with ads on a mobile device, which might differ from display ads on a desktop. These differences can help marketers understand which channels are best used for influencing consumers, and which are best for driving conversions.

Last touch or last click will never work with a non-linear purchasing path, and there is no concrete, one-size-fits-all answer to the right attribution model. Advertisers hold their own keys to driving more precise measurement. With the right mix of performance insights and expert-guided considerations, marketers can tailor their attribution analysis specifically to their own cross-channel strategy.

TIPS FOR OVERCOMING ATTRIBUTION CHALLENGES Paul Pellman, Director/Head of Adometry, Google

How is mobile changing the game for advertisers? Mobile is how most people are interacting with the web, and it’s now changing the way that people are interacting with each other. For a lot of market segments, mobile is the only way that people access the Internet. As a marketer, it’s an incredibly powerful vehicle to reach customers, if used appropriately. It’s extremely important because it has scale.

What do you think is the greatest challenge for mobile advertisers?Although mobile has scale, it offers some great challenges in regards to conversions. An online form, for example, just doesn’t work as well on a mobile device for some types of conversion. If I need to fill in a lot of information on a complex form (to apply for auto insurance, for example), I’m probably going to go to my laptop versus using my mobile phone. So as a conversion vehicle, mobile can many times fall short.

But, there are some examples where mobile is actually working well to drive conversions. Some flash retail sites, for example, are driving an incredible number of transactions through mobile devices. If you’ve connected your phone to your registration (and credit card information), you’re immediately alerted when something goes on sale. And, you can immediately look at it, and push a button to purchase.

How do marketers need to address attribution with mobile devices? As a marketer, you have to take into account the different devices people are using, or you’ll have an incomplete picture. Users are seeing a stream of media across their different devices, and to really understand performance, you have to determine how to fractionally allocate credit accurately across that stream of media.

We currently live in a last-click, last-touch world, and that undervalues the real impact that mobile is having on conversions. If you are using a last-click, last-touch model, and you’re not taking into account cross-device influences, you’re never going to be able to do mobile marketing well. If you are really looking at mobile as a channel you want to use, you need to have a measurement platform that works with your media efforts to ensure you understand the real credit that mobile is getting.

My advice to any organization that is serious about understanding the impact of all marketing efforts is to first do an honest assessment of what you can measure. Identifying the holes, or where the data is lacking depth, typically will lead you to the areas where investing in data science will have the greatest impact.

TIPS FOR IMPLEMENTING A CROSS-DEVICE STRATEGY Nick Jordan, SVP of Global Strategy, Tapad

How would you describe today’s advertising ecosystem, and what challenges do marketers come up against with the rise of mobile? Ten years ago, the advertising ecosystem was much simpler because users were only using a single digitally-connected device. Now we have tablets, smartphones, wearables and TVs, all on top of the computers we use every day. For a marketer, that makes understanding the user’s behavior very difficult. A big challenge for marketers is anticipating where a user is in their day, and showing them the right message at the right time.

According to a recent Forrester study commissioned by Tapad, people now own more connected devices than ever, with 70% of connected consumers indicating that they personally use three or more devices in a day. Marketers need to concentrate on finding those users, understanding them across all of their devices, and making the messages consistent.

How do today’s technologies play a role in cross-device strategies? Unfortunately, many marketers are using technologies built a decade ago that no longer fit today’s multi-device marketing funnel. We are all trying to take those technologies and shoehorn them into this new paradigm, and that’s slowing the adoption of cross-device marketing. Most advertisers are always thinking about the cookie because that’s what’s been ingrained in us, but if that’s your main focus, then you are already going down the wrong path.

What are your recommendations for a strong cross-device strategy? The right tactics for a successful cross-device strategy are going to vary based on the vertical, the brand and the objective of the campaign. Perhaps the most important thing a marketer can do is to try to understand the cross-device nature of their audience. Companies like Tapad make this possible through rich cross-device analytics.

We suggest every client set aside a percentage of campaign budgets, dedicated to understanding the behavior of their users. This data can then be leveraged in subsequent campaigns to optimize things like global frequency, message sequencing, creative improvements, etc.

TIPS FOR PERSONALIZING THE MOBILE EXPERIENCE Lauren Griewski, Client Partner, Global Marketing Solutions, Facebook

Why is mobile significant for today’s consumers, and what does that mean for advertisers who are trying to target those consumers effectively? Mobile has become everyone’s best friend. Mobile is with you every hour, apart from when you are taking a shower and sleeping. In fact, when most people wake up, they reach for their mobile device. So, as a marketer, that means you have the opportunity to connect with people in a way that you’ve never connected with them before. That’s personalized marketing at scale. The world has all of the targeting capabilities for the mobile device - that’s not the challenge. The challenge is breaking through all of the other things that will stand out and matter. I think what’s really interesting is how much time consumers are spending on their mobile devices. It provides a very powerful screen for marketers.

How should advertisers go about planning their creative strategy around mobile? I believe that a successful mobile ad creative strategy starts with an insight about a consumer. Because you have the opportunity to connect with them in such an interesting and meaningful way, marketers should really understand who they are talking to first. That’s where your creative should start. Let your brand speak to individuals. Don’t start with your brand first – start with the individual first, as a person, and connect with them there.

How can marketers use mobile apps to personalize the ad experience? It’s important to distinguish between the mobile web and a mobile app. The mobile web is an extension of your website on a mobile device, with a similar look and feel. The benefit for a marketer is that any individual on any type of mobile device can access the site. In addition, the assets and brand equity are the same on mobile as on computer, which makes the transition to mobile more seamless.

A mobile app is something a consumer downloads to their mobile device, and it opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities for marketers. Once the app is installed, marketers have more control over their presence on a device than they would with a mobile website. Whether or not the app is active, it’s still at work in the background collecting consumer data, preferences and behaviors. This gives marketers a higher level of control and flexibility to personalize the consumer experience. A marketer may, for example, send a push notification based on a consumer’s location, or their behaviors. Being given a prime piece of real estate on a consumer’s phone also creates brand stickiness. The mobile app provides a much more advantageous position than the mobile web giving marketers a corner on what people use everywhere, everyday as an extension of themselves – their mobile device.

TIPS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE CONSUMER JOURNEY WITH MOBILE Duncan McCall, CEO and Co-Founder, PlaceIQ

How can advertisers use mobile to understand the customer journey? Unlike other marketing channels that broadcast advertising to a wide net of consumers, mobile serves both as a targeting tool and as a learning mechanism. For the first time, mobile is enabling marketers to understand what real-world behaviors occur throughout the day, not just at the point of purchase. Consequently, we’re now able to grasp a profound understanding of consumers: what appeals to them, where they dwell, where they work, and where they dine, shop, go for fun, etc.

Using mobile as a sensor, brands are able – for the first time – to see which competitors a consumer visited, and tailor their messages and timing accordingly. The ability to understand this on an ongoing and dynamic basis will have a profound impact on the purchase funnel, with the most immediate opportunity being in media optimization and measurement. In essence, mobile powers our understanding of the consumer journey by creating a plethora of data that’s connected by an underlying technology, uncovering a new model of the consumer journey.

What makes one ad more effective than another? The more things change, the more they stay the same: effective ad delivery still means reaching the right consumers, at the right time and place, with relevant and meaningful messaging and creative. To break that down further, reaching the right consumers means understanding what audiences you should be targeting based on the purpose of the campaign (i.e. Is this a competitive play? Are you trying to drive loyalty? Generate awareness?) With the right analytics, brands can make informed decisions about who to actually target with campaigns.

While it has always been intuitive, we are finally able to prove that effective advertising is largely dependent on time and location. It’s about delivering relevant messages to the appropriate audiences, and engaging them at the most appropriate time and place. For example, imagine an auto brand that’s trying to promote a new minivan to moms. By identifying moms who often go the beach, and targeting them with a message about a unique built-in vacuum (perfect for picking up sand), the auto brand is much more likely to reach that audience with an ad that resonates. Finally, timing that message to reach moms while they are at a competitive auto dealership is a definite plus.

How do you see the consumer landscape changing? Will customers finally be able to get rid of ads that don’t apply to them, or is there still a long way to go? As data becomes the focus of advertising technology, one shift that must occur is greater emphasis on the consumer experience. If you can understand consumer behavior, you can be much more responsive to, and respectful of, consumers’ preferences and the cadence of messages and brand storytelling that will delight them. If you can spend ten dollars to find the right consumer at the right time, that’s worth more than spending one dollar on ten ads that may or may not be targeted appropriately. We believe data science is helping the industry move in this direction, and I really believe that three to five years down the road, the consumer experience is going to be placed front and center of the marketing strategy – where it should be.

TIPS FOR BUILDING AN ATTRIBUTION MODEL Jeff Greenfield, COO/Co-Founder, C3 Metrics

What types of attribution models will help marketers look beyond last click? Any attribution model is better than last-click--with last-click, you reinforce harvesting what’s already in your funnel, and you never invest in planting, which means you can never effectively grow new crops, new revenue or new leads beyond what’s already happening.

Once you make that cultural leap away from this two-decade-old method, you’ll look at a couple of options, or use both but graduate from one to the next. Usually the first step is using an econometric-based model. This would set parameters based on econometrics of your vertical and your specific business. In this case, your coefficients for different positions in the funnel remain constant for every transaction, and the rules of play never change (think four balls always equals a walk in baseball, three strikes always equals an out, and those rules of play never change).

The first step of an econometrics-based model enables results very quickly (no waiting nine months for data), and it’s a model that’s easy to champion around your company and get buy-in to move away from last click. The next type of model you might want to consider is one of machine learning, whereby the coefficients can change from transaction to transaction, and the transparency of the model itself is iterative. Think of this as a self-driving car. It drives itself, and it does so based on the circumstances and environment it encounters.

Typically, it may take up to 6-9 months of data collection before you can start acting on the data. The downsides are higher cost, a longer wait, and higher expectations to fulfill inside your company.

An alternative would be to take the first step of the econometrics model, and then after a year or so, graduate into the next machine learning model (just as someone might get a bachelor’s degree first and then move on to get a master’s degree second.)

What happens when marketers look at last click or last view? Looking at last-click or last-view ignores the very stimuli that creates revenue. If you look at last-click metrics on paid search: you will cut all non-branded terms as their CPA’s will be allegedly worse since last-click gets all credit. As a result, revenue drops soon after.

With display, the same thing happens. Right off the bat, 40% of attribution credit will be given to branded term search at the bottom of the funnel using last-click. This robs you of 40% of your decision-making power because you are creating or accelerating a consumer down the funnel with upper and mid-funnel tactics, like non-branded search and display, as branded term search is the thief of upper and mid funnel growth.

What metrics should be used throughout the marketing funnel? Fractionalized, full-funnel metrics using viewability controls, cross-device controls, and conversion controls should be used throughout the marketing funnel to prevent last minute “sneak-ins” and branded term search from stealing 40% of your credit. Display is the hardest thing to measure. Still (unless you are using something like C3 Metrics, which has viewability built in to its platform) hardly anyone clicks on display ads, but display has a real impact when displayed.

TIPS FOR APPLYING AND MEASURING ATTRIBUTIONKiril Tsemekhman, Chief Data Officer and SVP, Integral Ad Science

What is biggest misconception in regards to attribution? Ironically - it’s what attribution actually is. Typically a brand or an agency works with different vendors to run a marketing campaign across different media channels. Attribution is supposed to be used in two ways:

1. To evaluate the performance of each channel and vendor2. To inform the marketer how to pay vendors in a way that incentivizes them to do what is best for the brand

The two functions of attribution are related, but they are not the same. Imagine a hockey team - five players on the ice. It’s tempting to judge the performance of the players by the number of goals scored or by the number of shots deflected. Well, in this case, only scorers and the goalie will get any credit (recall ‘last touch’?). And what about the defenders who protected their goals and started the attacks? Not only is this ‘attribution’ unfair, it is also damaging for the team: if everyone’s only goal is to score, the team will be crushed. Measuring the performance of the players therefore not only informs the coach of who played the best (and the worst), but also helps in designing the right team strategy and incentives for the players. If it wasn’t for the brilliant first pass, the goal would not have happened - so the author of that pass should get credit for the goal, along with the others who participated in it. How should marketers think about measuring performance across their advertising campaigns? Regardless of the methodology, this should boil down to one simple thing: Performance of any advertising campaign is measured by the ROI. The ROI, in turn, is measured (where possible) by incremental sales generated by the campaign. Any proxy measurements (e.g. CTR, CPC, CPA) are flawed if they cannot be tied back to the true ROI.

A lot of sales happen even when a specific marketing campaign is not running. These sales cannot have anything to do with that campaign and should not be counted when estimating campaign performance. Only the conversions above the baseline actually matter for campaign performance. These are incremental, or causal, conversions. A traditional (although not very frequently used in online advertising) method to measure incremental conversion rate is an A/B test. If done right, an A/B test is the most direct and reliable way to measure campaign performance. Any models should be gauged and assessed by comparison to the results of A/B tests.

How does viewability play into proper attribution analysis? A proper attribution model should organically account for viewability. On the one hand, unviewable impressions obviously cannot have any value to the advertiser: they should come out as having no effect on conversions. Taking unviewable impressions out of performance calculation is cheating: instead of ‘teaching’ the model to consider these impressions useless, we prune them manually, leaving the model ignorant about the importance of viewability. Even humans learn both from positive and negative examples; so must the machines. If the model learns only from a specific (not random) subset of impressions, it will not be able to correctly estimate the baseline, and as a result, its estimate of campaign ROI will also be wrong.

Attribution models should know how to assign credit not to all conversions that were preceded by viewable ads, but rather only to the ones that were caused by viewable impressions.

TIPS FOR MOBILE ATTRIBUTION - AN AGENCY PERSPECTIVESteve Deangelis, VP of Client Solutions, M&C Saatchi Mobile

What does mobile mean to your business, and how do you see it in the context of a marketing strategy? When I think of mobile, I think of wearables and the “Internet of Things,” but really, it comes down to the client. It’s the client that tells us what mobile is, and that can differ from brand to brand. At this point, I view mobile as the consumer.

In regards to marketing, we always talk about topics like cross-device and attribution, but at the end of the day, a marketer wants to reach a consumer, not a device. And the only way to really do that effectively is to look at mobile. As we increasingly work with international and global clients, we see in certain markets that you have to be on mobile - it’s the only way to really find your consumers online. This means that mobile needs to be at the forefront of your marketing strategy.

From an agency’s perspective, what is important about creative on mobile? Does it make a difference? It absolutely does make a difference, and this is often an education piece for us when conversing with a new client – having them understand the nuances of mobile. For most people, creative is an exciting, sexy thing, and they want to use engaging, rich units. It really depends on the client’s goal. For achieving efficiencies, we find that simpler is better, but we always test. You have limited real estate, and there are only so many variables you can really tweak. It’s important to set up a testing framework so you can measurably account for those changes, and learn what is effective. Is it the call-to-action? Is it the location of the logo? Is it the size of the font or font style?

How can marketers be accountable for the media spend that they run? You need to be inventive. There’s no universal solution, no silver bullet. It’s a conversation that you have to have with your partner in terms of their comfort level and what is available. There is a lot of data sensitivity, and many brands are uncomfortable sharing customer data with Facebook and Google, and we have to think from square one about how you should measure. You can have a strategic conversation about analysis and tools to use, but I don’t think there is one answer. Marketers need to have a frank conversation about how they are going to track, and what they are comfortable with. We are never going to be perfect, but we can strive to be as close to perfect as possible.

TIPS FOR CREATING AN OMNI-CHANNEL STRATEGYJames Green, CEO, Magnetic

What do you see as the future of mobile, and how can marketers incorporate it into their digital strategies? Mobile is on track to become the largest player in the digital ecosystem. The ability to extend advertising and retargeting strategies across screens increases a marketer’s ability to get in front of their customers, and influence purchasing decisions. The key to a successful cross-device strategy is the ability to unify devices and tap into the actionable data. Without that, you simply won’t be able to implement true multi-device targeting. Once you have a solution for matching consumers to their individual devices, you can work in your attribution model.

When you add a multi-device strategy into your marketing mix, you simply cannot look to last-click. You must look at a multi-touch model that can bring in metrics like click-to-engage, such as calls, store locators and downloads. What tends to happen is that marketers run mobile as part of their campaign, but they hold it to the same performance metrics as other channels. This sets up the “mobile” portion of your strategy for failure. In order for marketers to see the value in using multiple media types and devices, there has to be a shift in evaluating the role they play in overall campaign success and the path-to-purchase. Otherwise, you may re-allocate dollars to a portion of your strategy that might not have been as effective as you may think, or worse, you may simply miss out on giving credit where credit is due. We should be using data to make more accurate decisions, not the other way around. Data and proper measurement analysis are more important than ever before, and will continue to be a leading challenge and priority.

What role will omni-channel play in mobile strategies this year? Omni-channel strategies will be big this year with unified, cross-screen marketing efforts creating seamless experiences, and helping marketers evaluate consumer touchpoints as they move across screens. The omni-channel consumer expects everything to be readily available at his or her fingertips, and expects the overall brand experience to be similarly accessible.

The mobile web has strengthened brands’ ability to connect and reach consumers at any time of the day. This cannot be overlooked. Successful mobile integration depends on relevant audience targeting and the right mix of data.

What do you think is the biggest opportunity in cross-device attribution? Although marketers have evolved and matured the mobile user experience from research to the purchase process, there is still more room to grow in terms of mobile reach and conversions. Mobile is no longer specific to a certain demographic or age group, which means that brands now have the freedom to test different creative ads and messaging to determine what delivers the highest ROI.

On the conversion front, marketers will have to find ways to turn mobile interactions into transactions. Cross-device targeting will help in its ability to make messaging consistent from device to device, putting more relevant ads and promotions directly in the hands of current and potential customers.
