Presented by Ashley Sobel: July 29, 2015 This presentation will address how consumers are now spending more time with digital media than any other channel — even TV -- and advertisers are following suit. This presentation will focus on three key digital tactics: site direct display, digital video, and paid social. Specifically we'll cover the history of these channels, when and why to use them, how to plan and buy for them, and the tools at our disposal for activating and trafficking the buy.

9. DIGITAL ADVERTISING LANDSCAPE
Digital Advertising: Uses the Internet to deliver promotional/marketing messages to
consumers. Digital advertising frequently involves both a publisher, who integrates
advertisements into its online content, and an advertiser, who provides the
advertisements to be displayed on the publisher’s content.

11. WHY SITE DIRECT
Site Direct -- noun s t d - rektˈ ī ə ˈ
A method of buying digital media inventory straight
from a publisher whose advantages include:
• Access to site’s full inventory
• Premium inventory & placements
• Share of voice
• Custom sponsorships & integrations
• Access to publisher-only resources
• Creative flexibility

12. HOW TMK DOES SITE DIRECT
We believe in quality over quantity
We recommend only going several publishers deep
with Site Direct to maximize the benefits of the channel
Leverage Site Direct with what it’s best for, reaching a
high composition of a specific target
Otherwise, Programmatic is an effective, efficient
audience buying channel

38. SOCIAL

39. HOW TMK DOES SOCIAL
We believe a sound social strategy is one that
recognizes paid, earned and owned channels as part of
an interconnected program.
Siloed strategies that treat each channel independently
are rarely as effective as a comprehensive approach.
Within the paid social channel, we tend to organize our
activities in terms of three broad categories:
• Targeting
• Amplification
• Optimization

40. TARGETING
We have broad experience buying media across Twitter,
Facebook, LinkedIn, and the major and minor social publishers.
We work with top-tier managed ad buying platforms with full
Publishing API and listening ability. We employ audience
interest targeting, based on real-time conversation data (when
available) and refined by demographic targeting, to target ads
to existing and potential audiences.

41. AMPLIFICATION
We believe that one of the best uses of paid social media is
amplification of owned / organic postings, and that these
amplifications need to happen within a relatively short window
(often 24 hours) after the original post. Our goal is to achieve
maximum engagement at the lowest cost-per-engagement.

42. OPTIMIZATION
We take a goal-based approach to paid social campaigns,
employing the bidding and optimization engines of our
partners to focus campaign budgets toward best performing
segments.

43. DIGITAL PLANNING

44. MANAGING CAMPAIGNS

45. STRATEGY
•Determine what the objective of the effort is
•How much are you looking to spend
•What support points justify the need for Site
Direct, Video and Social
•Determine specifically the role for each digital
channel
•How is the campaign / partner being bought
•How will success be determined

46. SELECTION
•Who are you trying to reach
•What is the creative: standard, rich, etc; can
it leverage partner context, category, niche
•Has the publisher/partner performed in the
past
•Determine what partners should be included
in the RFP, and send out RFP’s

47. NEGOTIATION
•Upon RFP, determine if costs fit within range
•Is the cost competitive within the
marketplace / versus similar partners
•Does the partner know your KPI’s and does
the RFP speak to them; is the proposal
cookie cutter
•Construct recommendation
•Compile all relevant specs / work with
Account & Creative teams
•Ensure T’s & C’s are clear

48. AD SERVING
•Make sure you have all assets in hand and
creative rotations set
•Generate tags
•Traffic buy
•Ensure confirmation

49. EVALUTION
•Pull performance results from ad server or
through 3rd party vendor
•Match ad performance to client specific
KPI’s and client provided goals
•Generate performance reports as needed
•Provide recommendations for campaign
improvement

50. OPTIMIZATION
•Across all channels, it’s aways important to
interrogate results and always look to
improve

51. IN SUMMARY
1. Leverage what each tactic does best when making
purchase decisions
2. Video is growing beyond just a creative unit;
consider video’s impact as a lead tactic
3.
While a channel, social is about employing the
right strategies as much as it is about executing the
right tactcs

52. THANK YOU!
