• Digital Marketing campaigns are measurable (assuming data is reliable)
• Online tools and analytics are better for direct response
• Online campaigns may generate more immediate sales
• Online tools and analytics are less expensive than traditional methods
• Numerous Third Party Solutions are available to help manage digital
  campaigns, determine their effectiveness and target dollars

OVERVIEW> DEFINITIONS


What is Digital Marketing?
Digital Marketing is a combination of Push and Pull Internet technologies
used to execute marketing campaigns

• Traditional media including radio, TV, billboard and print, yields
   response/reaction data collected, analyzed and acted upon after a campaign
• Digital marketing provides for immediate reporting and feedback while using
   the internet to both Push and Pull marketing content:
   – E.g., Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Email, IM, RSS, Social Media,
      Texting on Mobile, and Voice Broadcast are used to Push a message
   – E.g., Banner ads and Pay Per Click (PPC) searches Pull viewers to a
      message or another viewer refers them, as in “here is content I liked seeing
      and you might enjoy seeing too” (e.g., viral video)
• The objective of Digital Marketing is the Conversion of Visitors into customers
   and improving retention of existing customers

OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>TACTICS


What Good Digital Marketing Strategies Achieve

A good Digital Campaign is consistent with overall business objectives,
quantifies success for each channel and has appropriate metrics in place.

The Six Broad Tactics of Best Practice Digital Marketing
1. Clarify and finalize Campaign objectives
2. Define the target audience(s)
3. Identify the online and Mobile channels available and appropriate
4. Develop a strategy with unique tactics for each digital asset
5. Define success through industry specific and relevant metrics
6. Know the landscape and benchmark results against competitors




                                            11
OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>OBJECTIVES


What Good Digital Objectives Achieve

Strategy is how you reach Objectives - Objectives are what you want to
achieve and they are often quantifiable.

Three Broad Objectives of Best Practice Digital Marketing
1. Distribute Specific Content , e.g., introduce new subscription-based service
2. Achieve Specific Financial Gains, e.g., increase online sales x%
3. Target Specific Audience, e.g., reach x% of consumers of data about banks




                                           12
OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>HOW DIGITAL MEDIA DIFFERS


How Traditional and Digital Media Differ
The best digital strategies integrate with, and complement, the messages
sent through traditional media and channels to form a unified experience.

            Traditional Media                                 Digital Media

• Uses established market research               • Business models and
  (focus groups and sampling)                      demographics are fluid
• A campaign is generally a Message              • A campaign is a Conversation
• Marketers control message length               • Visitors use exact search terms
• Campaigns not optimized                        • Sponsored search has +-70
  immediately                                      characters to entice click through
• Data is collected long afterwards              • Campaigns tweaked instantly
• Costs are relatively high                        with immediate feedback
                                                 • Costs are relatively low


                                            13
OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>TRADITIONAL MEDIA METRICS


Inhibitors to a Fully Integrated Digital Media
Campaign
 Traditional Media metrics and metrics generated from Digital Campaigns
 may not yield “apple-to-apple” comparisons.

 Five Key Elements of Traditional Advertising metrics

1. Reach is the % of people within a given universe exposed to a particular
    campaign at least once during a defined time period
2. Universe is typically based on total households
3. Gross Rating Points (GRP) are calculated by dividing Gross Impressions of
    a media buy by the population reached
4. Targeted Ratings Points (TRP) are GRPs for a specific target segment
5. Effective Reach is the % of the Universe reached at a particular frequency



                                           14
OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>CONVERTING DIGITAL METRICS


Converting Digital Metric “Oranges” to
Traditional “Apples” to Facilitate Comparisons
Reach prediction data supplement GRP metrics because of fragmentation of
users, variance of frequency across individuals and less certain demographics.

Four Key Elements Must be “Translated” for Comparisons
1. Reach is very difficult to calculate in terms of Digital Marketing and often
    requires Third Party solutions and expertise
2. Online Universe is based on total households with Internet access (which
    may now include mobile access)
3. GRP are calculated by dividing Gross Impressions on a web site, online
    design element or other digital asset by audience size
4. TRP are calculated by multiplying forecasted GRPs by the demographic
    composition of the site



                                           15
OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>CONVERTING DIGITAL METRICS


Predicting Reach in the Digital Universe

The distribution of sites, the run rate (number of impressions in a given time
period), site overlap and other variables must be considered.

Three Key Considerations to Predict Online Reach
1. In traditional media Reach is basically the total number of viewers of a
   particular campaign
2. Online a campaign of one million impressions on a site with one million
   unique users may reach only a small percentage of the site’s population
3. Online impressions compose a fraction of total monthly impressions on a site

                                17
PHASES> DEFINITIONS


The Successful Digital Marketing Campaign
has Four Broad Phases
Strategy is an important step across every phase of a campaign. Phases
are not always sequential and may be iterative as content is tweaked.

                                   18
PHASES> STRATEGY


Strategize

A Digital Campaign should be consistent with overall business objectives
and complement offline efforts that employ traditional media.

Five Keys to a Comprehensive Strategy
1. Align online marketing and analytics
     with general business objectives
2.   Align online marketing and web
     analytics with offline campaigns
3.   Identify key areas for improvement
4.   Identify effective business processes
5.   Identify Key Performance Indicators
     (KPI) and other measurements
     specific to the industry and Digital
     Asset


                                        19
PHASES> STRATEGY>EXAMPLE OF CHANNEL-SPECIFIC KPI


Example of Specific KPI Designed to
Measure the Impact of Blogging
KPI for any channel should measure your brand reputation and/or content
for your digital campaign as well as collect similar KPI for competitors.

There are At Least Six KPI Specific to Blogs
1. Average Number of New Blog Entries
2. Percentage of Unique Visitors/Members writing comments
3. Average Number of Trackbacks per Blog Post
4. Percentage of New Commentators (compared to total commentators)
5. Number of RSS Subscribers
6. Percentage of New RSS Subscribers




                                           20
PHASES> STRATEGY>SCOPE


It is Important to Define the Scale of the
Digital Marketing Objectives
A good Digital Strategy will quantify the scope of the desired campaign prior
to the development effort.
• Are you targeting millions of viewers and thousands of websites or hundreds?
• What web trends will be tracked? Are Webtrends or Google Analytics enough?
• Are Reporting Requirements quantitative or qualitative?
   – Are there Executive Level Summaries?
• What Creative and other Design Elements are involved?
• Do you need heavy statistical support to compute online Reach and other
   metrics for comparisons with Traditional Media?
• Do you anticipate using A/B and other testing to optimize the Campaign?
• How will relevant digital content be kept current/accurate going forward?
• Will the campaign employ iPhone apps and other targeted mobile?
                                            21
PHASES> IMPLEMENTATION


Implement

SEO terms may be optimal in theory but individual page and other tags
should be audited and reviewed regularly to ensure results in practice.

Six Keys to a Successful Implementation
1.   Identify the proper scope of the effort at inception
2.   Provide Award-Caliber Creative that enhances the user experience
3.   Develop or contract the appropriate technologies or solutions
4.   Maximize SEO and audit Page Tags to maximize the number of viewers
5.   Plan on how online digital content stays current and accurate
6.   Integrate online digital data with data from traditional media for a
     comprehensive view




                                      22
PHASES> BENCHMARKING


Benchmark

Visitor Engagement Measurements and KPI should be customizable both
by industry and specific client positioning as practices may vary greatly.

Four Keys to Successful Benchmarking
1.   Define Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
2.   Customize Visitor Engagement Measurements by industry
3.   Determine the client’s and its’ competitors’ baseline
4.   Facilitate reporting and distribution of data and analytics with a well designed
     database and Dashboard




                                          23
PHASES> OPTIMIZATION


Optimize

Digital’s real-time feedback makes Optimization an ongoing process. Good
analytics allow you to adjust the variables of a Digital Campaign (content,
website, design elements) that best drive conversion and satisfaction.

Four Keys to Successful Optimization of Large B2C Campaigns

1. Use A/B and Multivariate Testing of many combinations to simulate
     hundreds/thousands of campaigns to inform the Digital Campaign
2.   Use behavioral targeting of potential viewers
3.   Proactively analyze Digital Campaigns to remain relevant and engaging
4.   Convert website visitors into customers more quickly and at a relatively
     lower customer acquisition cost than traditional media

PROCESSES> DATABASES AND DEVELOPMENT


IT is Used to Constantly Search for and
Display Content Relevant to the Campaign
As part of Media Monitoring, IT solutions can integrate a search agent
application that crawls the web and collects the latest relevant content.

Web Crawlers Capture Two Main Types of Content Automatically
1. Comments and other content related to the campaign
2. Comments and other content related to competitors’ campaigns

Customer Relationship Management for Web
2.0 (eCRM or CRM 2.0)
For consumer focused businesses, rapid adoption of Web 2.0 and Social
Media means traditional CRM, customer acquisition and retention
strategies must integrate eCRM to capture the entire customer journey.

   planning; multi channel campaign management; and customer data
   management
• Customer engagement from acquisition to retention and advocacy across all
   channels, traditional and digital

involves using Third Party Solutions and/or outsourcing.

Typical Third Party Solutions Used in Digital Campaigns
1. Best Creative normally requires partnering with outside agencies
2. Professional Services Providers advise on optimum strategies, the
     competitive landscape and the latest analytics
3.   Professional Services Providers offer deeper expertise in key social media
     and other emerging channels (e.g., iApp development)
4.   Third Parties provide relatively low cost Content and Campaign
     Management Solutions
5.   Third Parties help navigate more complex statistical challenges such as
     calculating Online Reach and general integration of online metrics
6.   Monitoring and updating of digital content post-campaign can be outsourced

                                        48
VENDOR ASSESSMENT> BASIC WEB ANALYTICS


Simple Web Analytics May be Enough for
Many Digital Marketing Efforts
Webtrends is the overwhelming market leader in web analytics and is
believed to provide the highest quality data.

Six Key Considerations in Assessing Webtrends
1. Webtrends provides metrics for social media and Twitter
2. Webtrends provides both Client and Server-side tracking while most
   competitors support one or the other
3. There are a large number of sophisticated built-in reports covering all areas of
   a site including technical, marketing and sales
4. There is both a hosted and a software version, with the software version
   offering full control of data
5. Cost is a minimum US$5,000 per license
6. Set-up and support will probably require expertise inhouse
                                          49
VENDOR ASSESSMENT> BASIC WEB ANALYTICS


Simple Web Analytics May be Enough for
Many Digital Marketing Efforts, cont.
Google Analytics provides a free, user-friendly and immediate solution for
web analytics that may suit many Digital Marketing Efforts (especially B2B).

Five Key Considerations in Assessing Google Analytics
1. Easy Set-Up: Simple new account creation with exact JavaScript provided to
   insert into online pages (implementation in under 1 hour)
2. Built-in Reports and Polished Graphs for the most important statistics
   including tooltips and drill-downs
3. Custom Reporting and Export: Custom reports can be created using a drag-
   drop function
4. Data Export API facilitates the build of a customer User Interface
5. Analytics are free, but user data is hosted and in the cloud, security and
   control over which may be considered inadequate for certain digital efforts

  • 12. OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>TACTICS What Good Digital Marketing Strategies Achieve A good Digital Campaign is consistent with overall business objectives, quantifies success for each channel and has appropriate metrics in place. The Six Broad Tactics of Best Practice Digital Marketing 1. Clarify and finalize Campaign objectives 2. Define the target audience(s) 3. Identify the online and Mobile channels available and appropriate 4. Develop a strategy with unique tactics for each digital asset 5. Define success through industry specific and relevant metrics 6. Know the landscape and benchmark results against competitors 11
  • 13. OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>OBJECTIVES What Good Digital Objectives Achieve Strategy is how you reach Objectives - Objectives are what you want to achieve and they are often quantifiable. Three Broad Objectives of Best Practice Digital Marketing 1. Distribute Specific Content , e.g., introduce new subscription-based service 2. Achieve Specific Financial Gains, e.g., increase online sales x% 3. Target Specific Audience, e.g., reach x% of consumers of data about banks 12
  • 14. OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>HOW DIGITAL MEDIA DIFFERS How Traditional and Digital Media Differ The best digital strategies integrate with, and complement, the messages sent through traditional media and channels to form a unified experience. Traditional Media Digital Media • Uses established market research • Business models and (focus groups and sampling) demographics are fluid • A campaign is generally a Message • A campaign is a Conversation • Marketers control message length • Visitors use exact search terms • Campaigns not optimized • Sponsored search has +-70 immediately characters to entice click through • Data is collected long afterwards • Campaigns tweaked instantly • Costs are relatively high with immediate feedback • Costs are relatively low 13
  • 15. OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>TRADITIONAL MEDIA METRICS Inhibitors to a Fully Integrated Digital Media Campaign Traditional Media metrics and metrics generated from Digital Campaigns may not yield “apple-to-apple” comparisons. Five Key Elements of Traditional Advertising metrics 1. Reach is the % of people within a given universe exposed to a particular campaign at least once during a defined time period 2. Universe is typically based on total households 3. Gross Rating Points (GRP) are calculated by dividing Gross Impressions of a media buy by the population reached 4. Targeted Ratings Points (TRP) are GRPs for a specific target segment 5. Effective Reach is the % of the Universe reached at a particular frequency 14
  • 16. OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>CONVERTING DIGITAL METRICS Converting Digital Metric “Oranges” to Traditional “Apples” to Facilitate Comparisons Reach prediction data supplement GRP metrics because of fragmentation of users, variance of frequency across individuals and less certain demographics. Four Key Elements Must be “Translated” for Comparisons 1. Reach is very difficult to calculate in terms of Digital Marketing and often requires Third Party solutions and expertise 2. Online Universe is based on total households with Internet access (which may now include mobile access) 3. GRP are calculated by dividing Gross Impressions on a web site, online design element or other digital asset by audience size 4. TRP are calculated by multiplying forecasted GRPs by the demographic composition of the site 15
  • 17. OVERVIEW> GOOD DIGITAL STRATEGIES>CONVERTING DIGITAL METRICS Predicting Reach in the Digital Universe The distribution of sites, the run rate (number of impressions in a given time period), site overlap and other variables must be considered. Three Key Considerations to Predict Online Reach 1. In traditional media Reach is basically the total number of viewers of a particular campaign 2. Online a campaign of one million impressions on a site with one million unique users may reach only a small percentage of the site’s population 3. Online impressions compose a fraction of total monthly impressions on a site 16
