Purchase Path: Cross-Device
Consumers increasingly use multiple devices and apps along the purchase path
This requires different measurement strategies to ID consumers across devices and apps
so individual touch points can be combined into one single cross-device purchase path
Datalicious study revealed that combining paths across devices lengthens the path by
38%, attributes 1.8x more sales to mobile equaling +142% percent for Facebook ads

Purchase Path: Touch Point Quality
Just because ad impressions were served doesn’t mean …
§ They were not blocked – Ad blocking
– eMarketer reports that ad blocker penetration reaches 30-35% in the US
§ They were actually viewed – Ad view-ability
– Marketing Charts reports ad view-ability to be between 45-60% in the US
§ They were actually viewed by a human person – Ad fraud
– Datalicious study suggests twice as high as thought or 15-20% in the US
Filtering out ineffective ads can reduce ROI by >100%

Purchase Path: Location Tracking
Physical branch interactions are still important touch points
Challenge is sourcing and then connecting the location data to the path
Various (mostly still untested) possible approaches
§ Walk-in counters and inclusion via Media Mix Model (MMM)
§ Latitude/longitude tracking via mobile ad servers, browsers or mobile apps
§ Proximity tracking or triangulation via in-store free Wi-Fi or Bluetooth beacons
Problem remains how to connect location data set to main path data set
§ Solution will be a combination of PII to device advertising ID and IP address matching

The future of measurement
is identify management
§ To facilitate the stitching of touch
points across platforms, devices, etc
People can easily amass
hundreds of IDs across time

Deterministic and probabilistic

Purchase Attribution: Offline Sales
What if all research and ads are online but the sale offline?
§ Reality is that online drives offline and vice versa
§ Cannot just attribute sales to online we can track online
Important to match offline sales to online campaign activity
§ Requires PII of sales to be matched to cookies and IP addresses
§ Combined cookie and IP address match rate between 30-50% for US

Unified Measurement
Traditionally online and offline measurement are separate
§ Offline = Media Mix Modelling (MMM)
§ Online = Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA)
Online and offline can no longer be measured in isolation
Need for integrated unified online offline approach
§ Media Mix Modell (MMM)
– Determines optimal spend at channel level, seasonality and baseline
§ Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA)
– Allocates optimal channel spend by week/month down to ad/keyword level

Seems Complicated – Why Bother?
Because Forrester
suggests – and we can
confirm – that unified
marketing measurement
and resulting optimization
can easily yield 10-30%
media efficiencies in
the 1st year …
