#FFFFFF”), Media Insights (“I know how everyone consumes media, EVERYONE!”), Out-of-Home
(“size matters”), Strategy (“I have this much money, what will that get me”), and Video Activation

103. EVENT SURVEY RESULTS
Note: The survey is just a sampling of some attendees, the numbers do not represent every
person who attended.
109. WEBSITE ANALYTICS
The 2015 Student Advertising Summit
website was launched the week of
December 7, 2015. The website was
built on Squarespace; thus, we utilized
Squarespace analytics to track
performance and audience
engagement with our site.
The majority of our site traffic in the
month leading up to the event came
from direct visits or from Google
organic visits. This tells us that people
are familiar with our site or, at the very
least, can find it easily online. Social
media, particularly Facebook and
Twitter, was key in directing students
to the site.
110. WEBSITE ANALYTICS
It is important for the committee to know how users access our site so that we are able to best serve
their needs. This year, almost 32% of our site traffic came from a mobile device, nearly 2x that of 2014.
Our responsive website ensures that users are able to obtain all of the information they need from our
site whether they are on mobile or desktop. On February 27, the day of the event, 59% of site visits
came from a mobile device.
111. WEBSITE ANALYTICS
It is crucial for us to understand how users search for
the Student Advertising Summit online. With the
exception of one query, all of the top searches driving
traffic to our site were directly related to the event.
This indicates that our website is well optimized for
search and that our visitors visited our site with
intention and purpose.
112. PAID MEDIA RESULTS
An optimal click through rate is 0.08%, so we can see that our Student
Ad Summit Google AdWords campaign performed very well with over
101,246 impressions and a CTR of 0.69%. CTR is essential to our paid
media success because it directly affects our Quality Score and cost
per click for each ad. Our paid media efforts helped drive traffic to our
website and increase registrations.
