Cost per branding – The new online currency beyond CTR

In his presentation held at interact 2010, Comscore CEO Gian M. Fulgoni, revealed that 84% of users will never click on any ad.

Therefore, a branding impact is registering in the minds of the people. The “performance v. branding� debate has been a constant companion for several years.

Brand safety is no longer an option: but how do you choose the technology provider?

Most brand advertisers have already been harmed online. Notable brands have been caught mistakenly sponsoring pornography, hate speech, racist content, and the like. The problem is overwhelming for online marketers: billions of ad placement transactions on millions of websites, creates a logistical nightmare for the brand manager. As a result, brand-sensitive display advertising has been largely relegated to less than 10,000 whitelisted websites globally, while billions of websites are available, most of them with quality content and quality customers. Advertising reach has been decreasing despite the Internet’s ever-growing frequentation. This suffocating effect describes an industry that is constricting, not expanding – all the while, brands must still find their way online, safely.

In this session, we will explore a multi-threaded approach to online brand-safety. We will cover technology solutions, publisher vetting, network vetting and best practices to prevent brand damage.

Search meet display – Display meet search

Search marketing has a dynamic ecosystem of biddable marketplaces that advertisers can value and buy media. The time has come for this remarkable system of decision–making and trading to come to the display market. For too long, display advertising has been hamstrung by an antiquated method of trading that delays decisions, creates inefficiencies and suppresses investment by advertisers. Learn how the ad exchanges, such as Doubleclick and Rightmedia, are creating marketplaces that will provide an efficient and dynamic environment for media owners and advertisers to do business.

Going beyond behavioural to drive online success

The term ‘Behavioural Targeting’ has become a catch all phrase for any type of online targeting. However, this umbrella term disguises the wealth of different targeting options and sophistications available to marketers, with ‘behavioural’ being just one facet of this. Ultimately it is people who buy products and, as a result, there is now a move towards audience base, data-driven targeting.

How digital agencies will take control of clients’ hearts, minds and wallets by the end of 2010

Whilst above the line agencies think digital agencies taking the lead is ludicrous, it is the inevitable truth that as changing behaviours are transforming the market place, digital will take total control and will soon have their boots on the necks of traditional agencies.

With the rise in mobile, augmented reality, and the increasing personalisation of marketing through digital channels, todays crowded market place requires the boldness and big ideas that digital can provide brilliantly, and for a fraction of the price. By the end of 2010, traditional agencies will be trying to justify their share of their clients spend compared to digital.

Whither the Click? European study highlighting the view-through impact of online display advertising

The curse of the Internet as “the most measurable medium” is perpetuated by many practitioners reliance on “the click” as a relevant measure of display advertising efficacy. Despite the long-held obsession with using clicks to measure campaign performance – which reflect only the immediate impact of an ad – the comScore studies demonstrate that the Internet is clearly effective as a latent brand-building medium.

The research revealed in this seminar will update the “How Online Advertising Works” study from the US with European analysis on the latent value and engagement of non-click consumers who now comprise over 80% of the online population. The message for brand advertisers is clear: ignore online as a brand-building channel at your own peril

Change is coming: Will the display advertising market ever be the same again?

The landscape for display advertising is changing so rapidly and the buying chain has just got more complicated than any of us ever imagined. So who is involved? Ad networks, Ad exchanges, Trading platforms, Market places, Publisher optimisation companies, DSPs, Real time bidding, data aggregators and of course agencies and publishers.

With so many different platforms to buy from, there is one big question that brands should ask throughout this complicated buying chain – am I safe? Brand advertisers need to be confident that their ads are not just getting to the right people and evoking the right response, but they’re not surrounded by inappropriate content that could damage their reputation. They should be asking the question, and then letting the experts do the rest, because brand safety is incredibly easy to achieve, but if lost can prove incredibly difficult to retrieve.

This session will aim to provide a real insight into the different companies involved in the buying chain and highlight the potential risks for brand advertisers who don’t ask each part of the chain – am I safe?

How to build a brand tone of voice online (because it is worth it)

You already know good ecommerce copy has to be scannable at speed, optimised for search, with clear calls to action. This is hard enough without asking time poor product managers to supply text which is also on brand. The result? Ecommerce sites which swing wildly from brand led marketing materials to search led product pages. Product pages which can confuse customers and cause distrust. So, is it really worth investing in online tone of voice guidelines which can work alongside seo? In ensuring that even your email sign up and post sales confirmation emails sound like you? Would it really make a difference to your bottom line? Founder and CEO of digital copywriting agency Sticky Content, Catherine Toole argues the case for investing in an online tone of voice. She will show you how, done well, it can result in an uplift in really valuable customer actions such as:

— completing a transaction
— signing up for emails
— using online self-help instead of calling customer service
— selecting what products and services to buy

Sticky Content has worked on online tone of voice projects for: Berghaus, Capgemini, City and Guilds, John Lewis Partnership, Meningitis Trust, Natural History Museum, ODEON, Shop Direct, Sony Europe, THINK! Road Safety campaign, Train to Gain
