The Online Brand Advertising Outlook for 2012
From IBM CMO Report
But when asked about their Biggest Headaches…


Excerpt: The Online Brand Advertising Outlook for 2012
Drowning in Data, but Lacking in Insight

Commenting on the amount of data bandied around in the
online ecosystem, 34% of Media buyers stated:

“I’m drowning in data; I would prefer to focus on a few
meaningful metrics to evaluate the performance of my
campaign”

And when asked which metric they believed most
appropriate to use to determine the effectiveness of
online brand advertising:

“80% said Brand Lift”


Mary Kay Campaign

• Mary Kay challenged T2 Media to help
re-position Mary Kay brand among
beauty-conscious consumers not easily
reached by traditional media.

• Among this beauty-conscious consumer,
Mary Kay was often overlooked and not
perceived as contemporary.


Approach and Objectives

Approach:
•Ignite interest in the brand among social influencers in the
blogosphere
•Generate buzz among the influencers’ social network

Objectives:
•Generate awareness of Mary Kay's contemporary products
•Improve brand perception / favorability
•Primary: Increase purchase intent


Campaign Design

• Performed a full analysis of many blogger, social media and
word-of-mouth companies before choosing BlogHer
– BlogHer presented a diverse list of influential bloggers covering many genres:
mommy bloggers, beauty/fashion bloggers, lifestyle bloggers, foodies, etc
• Represented a cross-section of the “every day woman” that
we were targeting
– Balanced, comprehensive program that included: blogger reviews, supporting
co-branded media that drove additional traffic to the blog posts and a central
hub to aggregate posts
– BlogHer allowed Mary Kay to have full control over the blogger selection
process and gave us the ability to preview posts BEFORE they went live, which
was hugely important in gaining client approval
– BlogHer’s ability to provide Vizu metrics to gauge lift in brand perception and
purchase intent was critical


Campaign Design and Execution

bloggers to review Mary Kay
products and act as brand
ambassadors

Campaign Results
QUANTITATIVE RESULTS: BRAND LIFT

optimize Brand Lift in purchase intent while campaign in market
• For example, found that only one exposure to a branded blog
post drove maximum lift, capped exposure and increased reach


Campaign Results
•Leveraged Vizu’s real-time Ad Catalyst solution to measure and
optimize Brand Lift in purchase intent while campaign in market
• With creative, found that blog posts greatly outperformed all
other campaign creative, allowing optimization toward such


Campaign Results

• Drive an overall 49.1% lift in purchase intent

• Materially outperformed Vizu market norms for both the Beauty
category and purchase intent campaigns


Key Learnings and Impact

• #1 key learning was that activating digital influencers can be an
effective tactic for impacting brand perception and intent to
purchase.

• Bloggers can authentically challenge brand myths that we as the
brand can’t do itself.

• Learned that bloggers like to offer their readers gift baskets or
sweepstakes and that component greatly enhances participation.

• For the future, try to connect Mary Kay contests, Facebook
sweepstakes, and product promotions to blogger outreach.

• Branding efforts, such as driving Purchase Intent, must be
measured against appropriate Brand Lift metrics.


Impact on Future

Mary Kay and T2 will:
•Continue these type of paid programs such as what we did with BlogHer

•Increase blogger outreach through our PR efforts including continuing to
outreach to some of the bloggers from this program

•Leverage Vizu to measure not only these type of blogger/social programs,
but all of our major online efforts to continue to gauge the influence of
programs

This pilot program helped “comfort” those in legal and regulatory
departments within Mary Kay who were resistant to letting go of control of
the brand message; this program’s success will allow us to move forward in
this space


Benchmarking Social Media Effectiveness
Vizu recently launched a new initiative to benchmark the
relative effectiveness of different social media tactics and
partners, in order to maximize Brand Lift
