With Motor Vehicles now the largest category for online advertising spend (general display) in 2012*, it was no wonder the IAB Automotive Seminar on 26 Feb was jam-packed! The delegate list read like a rather impressive car showroom with brands such as Audi, Ferrari, Lexus, Maserati, Mercedes Benz and VW in the audience.
The morning seminar included insights from TMS, Audi & Holler Sydney, InMobi & MediaMotive, on topics such as the new consumer and path to purchase, using innovation to connect with the new, hyper-informed and technologically connected consumer and how to make measurement meaningful. We also revealed the findings of a brand new research by InMobi on how Australian consumers are using their smartphones when buying a new car.
Key themes covered by all speakers included understanding and listening to your consumers, especially in the way they consume media on multiple devices and at different stages of the purchase patch; importance of mobile as an auto information seeking medium; simplifying measurement and ensuring you are measuring the right things; and using innovation and creativity to compete in the extremely competitive automotive sector.

• Analyse = Why isn’t it going to plan?
Fix the problem.

something I don’t already know.
• Plan for the future = Let’s do it better next time.

Why do we measure media and advertising?
60. Focus on behaviour, not activity, being measured
a CTR of
0.50%
99.5%
not clicked
61. The tactics to optimise audience reach, are different to efficient cost-per-click
traffic, which are different to volume of test-drives.
Rarely, can all be achieved with single tactic. Most contradict each other.
Many actions require contradictory media tactics

62. One behaviour that is natural in one channel may not be in another.
For example: ‘Consideration’
Brochure Download + New Car Listings Views + Uplift in Reviews
Data needs context of media partners

3. Focus benchmarking, and KPIs, around these grouped buying stages, rather than any
individual measurement – which will normalise the results and show trends clearly.

http://www.youtube.com/user/mercedesbenzuk/youdriveMercedes-Benz Multi Screen Ad Experiment - UKIn Oct 2012, Mercedes-Benz tapped into the tweeting trend by allowing people to decide the storyline of its ads for the new A-Class car. At the end of the first 60-second TV spot, which launched during a break in The X Factor, it invited viewers to choose what happened next via Twitter using the hashtag #youdrive. The selected ending was then added to the first ad and aired the next day during the same programme.

How we can help you make the most of the key trends.
Is dramatically changing behaviour and its adoption and integration into our lifestyles is happening at a velocity that is hard to anticipate. Nevertheless, it has provided us with unique ways of connecting with consumers whilst simultaneously providing consumers with tools to avoid our messages.
With more media, accessible through more devices we are having to deal with an increasingly distracted consumer. Couple this with the multitude of touch points we have to both entertain and inform. Brands are finding it engage genuinely. Forcing us to be more inventive, empathetic and innovative with the way we connect.
We need to truly understand the multitude of roles that devices and technology plays in peoples lives and then execute a holistic communications strategy against it. One that includes reach, depth and relationship touch points. Taking into account the strengths and function of particular devices and media.
Approx 63 automotive brands in Australia.Population of 22 million, of which xxx are of driving age.Australians bought 1.1 million new cars last year. That’s 1 car for every xx people.
1 in 5 automotive searches are done on a mobile device. Frequently we find, at the actual dealership where a potential customer can haggle for pricing.
In the top five performing centres in the UK for sales in August 2012. Audi City has seen a 58% rise in car sales versus the more conventional Audi retail space which originally stood in its place, of which 94% have been new customers. The dealership has been pulling in over 1,000 visitors each week.

If you can measure it, doesn’t mean it should direct your attention.

One behaviour that is natural in one channel, may not be in another.i.e. Brand-website dealer locator v Carsales lead v Google dealer searchIt is difficult, without a full comprehensive media attribution program, to get a full-view of campaign measurement beyond clicks/impressions and your own website.Vital to work with media partners, who should know their audience better than an advertiser, to jointly analyse data on how their audience behaved before, during and after the advertiser campaign.Aggregating this data, though a bit messy, is critical to having a full-view of the audience and how their behaviour changes in response to your advertising.

Most agencies, marketers, use some form of buying funnel – though these are becoming less and less linear over time.This is an example, used for illustrative purposes only. Each brand/advertiser should customise this to their specific attributes and competitive environment.

Most important for all OEM businesses is selling cars, however, with one exception in the past 12 months (Suburu BRZ) – OEMs do not sell cars to consumers, they sell them to dealers.OEM advertising needs to assist, support, incentivise its dealers who are the point of purchase and make the final sale with the end consumer.You can lead a horse to water..
Key to getting a full view, or attribution model, is to get as much data from media partners as possible, in addition to your own data.Here are some examples and case studies.
The brand studied here, has a high-level of consideration coming off the back of its editorial reviews, however, conversion to trial drops to same level of the average Carsales buyer.This post-campaign analysis shows impact on OEM brand consideration, and gaps in converting to dealer leads.
