Lessons for Marketers in a Real Time Future
9/20/2011
1. Establish & share campaign objectives and success metrics
2. Tag relevant areas of your site to build effective models
3. Trust the machine: Leave your offline & online assumptions at home
4. Data is necessary but not sufficient. Algorithms and machine- learning are essential to manage in an RTB environment
5. Creative changes lead to temporary spikes in CPAs
6. Paying higher CPMs often leads to lower CPAs
