Topics
Darren Woolley, Managing Director – TrinityP3
The media and marketing value chain: Understanding where value is created, lost and hidden
The media market and media channels are in the process of continued and rapid change. Many of the traditional structures, strategies and processes are no longer relevant in the face of this change. Yet marketers are bombarded with claims and recommendations on the best way to invest their often largest investment – their media budget – by people with a vested interest in the way they will spend this money. Furthermore, there is inadequate provision of independent validation or audit of these decisions, in order to improve transparency. Taking an independent view of the marketplace and working with marketers locally, regionally and internationally through the Marketing FIRST Forum, Darren Woolley will share with you the insights and practices to understand where media and marketing value is created, lost, and hidden. He’ll show you ways to unlock the value in your media investment.

Multi channel media attribution: Why measuring the last click is just not enough
Most marketers have now realised that the ‘last-click gets all the credit’ attribution model favoured by Google and others is not actually representative of how consumers interact with advertising. They’re looking for more effective ways to help them optimise their media budgets. This is especially apt for advertisers that invest heavily in display ads, whether historically or simply because they have reached a point of diminishing returns in channels such as paid search. These advertisers would cite a lack of reporting and accountability as major frustrations. If the challenges above sound familiar, and you think your company should be analysing all campaign touch points leading up to a conversion, not just the last, then Christian’s presentation will be of great value to you. He’ll help show you how to record and analyse multi-channel media attribution data in your existing web analytics platform to generate some quick wins, as well explain the pros and cons of more professional long-term approaches.

A breakthrough approach to marketing mix optimisation for today’s consumer-driven world
You’ve heard it before – the consumer is in charge. They have more CHOICE and more VOICE than ever. They are no longer consuming information in a vacuum but from multiple channels, and often times, simultaneously, making it more difficult to reach and engage them in a meaningful way. A recent study by IBM reported that 65% of CMOs stated they are “underprepared” for the growth of channel and device choices. This increasing power of the consumer coupled with the rapid pace of technology makes it more critical than ever for marketers to spend their marketing budget in the most effective and efficient way. An evolution in the way companies think about and handle marketing mix optimization needs to occur to keep pace with the rapidly changing marketplace. This session will focus on three key areas:
• How new consumer behavior is changing the marketing landscape
• Why agent-based modelling is a smarter approach to marketing mix optimisation
• How organisations are achieving a greater ROI by connecting people’s behavior with marketing decisions
