With increase in
penetration, consumer
cycles are now increasingly
becoming more complex.
This complexity is directly
proportional to:
1) Increase in
Purchase Value
2) Need of Domain
Knowledge
3) Nascent Domain
4) Switching cost is
high
5) Moving from B2C
to B2B
Why still focus on the Linear Funnel for Digital?
• Defining Check points in the Customers Life
Cycle
• Allotting Conversion Rates across each step
• Realizing which Digital Strategies can improve
which parts of the funnel:
• Volume
• Quality
• CAC or Customer Acquisition Cost
• Experimenting with a Digital Strategy

GOING BEYOND PERSONAS : Jobs To Be Done
Jobs to be done - The Milkshake Problem
• A milkshake brand did everything from psychographic segmentation to understand and then market to that
target audience. But it didn’t bring any additional revenue.
• The insight was hiding behind one fundamental principle - focus on the job customers hire a milkshake to do.
• They did just that, and found that people commuting to work wanted milkshake to be more of a companion
than a drink. (drumrolls.... )

GOING BEYOND PERSONAS : Jobs To Be Done
Jobs to be done - The Mattress Issue
• The push of what is happening currently: “This mattress is pretty
uncomfortable. I’m waking up multiple times in the night with back pain.”
• The pull of a new solution: “If I get a new mattress, I can sleep better. I’ll be
in a better mood at home and at work.”
• The anxiety of what could happen: “What if the new mattress turns out to be
just as bad as the old one? I can only try it out for a few moments in the
store.”
• The attachment to what you currently have: “I’ve had this mattress since
college.”
“The customer rarely
buys what the business
thinks it sells him.”
-Peter F. Drucker

Cross Channel Strategy (Understanding the case)
Target Audience
Trafinity is ideally
for the Middle &
upper class
families residing
in different parts
of United States.
Based on our
research we see
that there are
certain times
during the year
when these
families travel to
APAC for holidays.
Business
Trafinity is a travel
retreat start-up
that sells Holiday
destination
packages across
Asia Pacific.
Budgets
$10-$12 to create
a 3 month plan.
Goal: CPL of $45
Channels
Google (Search,
RLSA, Display) &
Facebook
Cross Channel Strategy (Creating M1 Plan)
1) Setting Channel &
Network Budgets
• Google : Facebook
– 75 : 25 split
• $800 on search,
$200 on RLSA,
$500 on Display
2) Setting CPCs for
All Networks
• SEM Rush CPCs -
$1.5 on search,
$1.7 on RLSA,
$0.18 on Display
3) Setting CTRs &
Conversion Rates
• CTRs 3-5% (20-
30% Lower)
conservative
model
• Display CTR is
1/10th of Search.
• Conversion Rates
are 2-3% (Landing
page &
competitive
pricing
4) Setting Primary
Metrics
• Clicks (Cost/CPCs)
• (Clicks/CTR)
• Leads (Conv
Rate*Clicks)
5) Adjusting
Conversion Rates
• Changing CPLs by
either changing
Conv rates or
CTRs
Cross Channel Strategy (Creating M1 Plan)
• Just like we focused on Google, we can do the same thing with Facebook
by understanding the industry averages of the CPCs, CTRs, Conv rates.
• Remember, Search is a Pull medium, where as Facebook is a push medium,
as you increase scale, your CAC will be affected, because you’ll be focusing
on less relevant traffic.
Cross Channel Strategy (Creating M2 & M3 Plan)
• Just Over the 1st month you
will be optimizing keywords
(search terms, targeting,
ads, negatives, micro &
macro level.
• This will help you reduce
your secondary metrics like
CPCs & Conv rates.
• This will in-turn help you
reduce your CPL.
Cross Channel Strategy (Creating M2 & M3 Plan)
• Adjust your CPLs across the 3 months to apportion your
improvements over time.
• Also apportion your spends like: $2K, $3.5K & $5.5K.
• Optimize by introducing & Experimenting with new channels
like GSP & Remarketing.
Cross Channel Strategy (Strategies to Spends)
• Start personalizing your campaigns.
• Expand components that are working, and cut on
components that are not.
• Keep in mind how each channel functions (Pull,
Push, Hybrid, Organic, Paid; when you make all
your campaign optimizations.
• Focus on CAC vs Scale
