VIEWING AN AD AND LANDING PAGE AS A SINGULAR EXPERIENCE
Does the post-click experience match the promise
of the ad? Is the prospect having a consistent
experience?
Are there blockers to purchase that we can address?
How can we remove mental friction points?
12. Using APM
to measure
effectiveness
WHAT IS APM?
A metric of Yield - Conversions per Impression
FROM AD TO SITE
Getting more customers to your site might sound
like the right idea, but these are potential customers.
You need to activate them!
FROM SITE TO CONVERSION
● By owning the landing page, your creative
flexibility at the ad level expands
● The right funnel for an individual consumers
answers the questions “why now”
● Match funnel shape with consumer intent

Categories to Consider
INTERACTIVE & OTHER VOICES
Build experiences that cater to the
“Browser” or “Explorer”
16. 16
RESULTS
When combining ad and landing page content thematically, it
led to a 25% higher conversion than non-unified experiences
during the testing period.
HYPOTHESIS AND TAKEAWAYS
Unifying the initial ad users see and the landing page they
come to will help increase user intent.

Unified Thematic Experiences
Drives 25% Higher Conversion
17. 17
RESULTS
During the Outlander Premiere weekend, having a show
specific page & creative pairing led to a 76% higher CR than
the evergreen non-show specific funnel.
HYPOTHESIS AND TAKEAWAYS
By creating a funnel branded towards and focused on major
tentpole events (such as a premiere or holiday season), we
can capitalize on seasonal intent and increase CR/APM.
Tentpole specific LPs capitalize
on timely intent for 76% lift

18. 18
RESULTS
Wheel of STARZ drove 60% higher conversion than control on
evergreen traffic. It was unsuccessful on higher urgency
offers.
HYPOTHESIS AND TAKEAWAYS
Differentiated & fun experiences, like spinning a wheel,
increase click-through rate and prospects on content
In the absence of promotions, highlighting breadth & quality
of content through interactive material, combats fatigue &
works
During promotional offers, breadth of content/interactive
funnels distract and add friction
Control Test
During slow periods, interactives
answer “why now”
19. 19
RESULTS
HeresTheRoyalTea drove a 138% higher CR than a more
generic 2P handle on historic content.
HYPOTHESIS AND TAKEAWAYS
The look and feel of an overall website can help build trust
and increase CR for your target audience.
Micro-optimizing by building out different content handles
and websites for different audiences increases conversion
over generic.
This is an incremental lever to help scale media spend.
