23. SKYPE – RETENTION & USERACQUISITION
THE CHALLENGE:
•Skype faced rapidly declining daily active
usage rates around the world in early 2014.
•In a market moving towards mobile, Skype
were slow to convert their user base to the
mobile platform with heavy competition in the
OTT messaging space (e.g. Viber, WhatsApp)
24. THE IDEA:
•Strategic consultation to identify markets for
retention and user acquisition through
opportunity sizing.
•Stop user churn and acquire new users by
challenging ‘infrequent’ (e.g. long distance
calling) brand perceptions to make Skype more
‘everyday’ (e.g. messaging)
•Mobile first planning lead across all agencies
to compliment ATL activity
SKYPE – RETENTION & USERACQUISITION
25. THE RESULTS:
•Within 1st
Quarter of the campaign, drove over
550,000 new users and increased retention
rates significantly
•DR efforts uncovered that mobile video was
the most effective channel for both brand and
DR – incorporated cross channel with all
agency partners
•Targeting high end devices led to a more
engaged user due to a superior UX

Editor's Notes
Launched in 2006 as the world’s first mobile media performance agency we have been at the forefront of the mobile evolution for the past ten years.
As mobile has become the dominant channel in consumers’ lives, and has become a crucial channel for brands as part of an integrated approach, we have become the world’s leading mobile-first digital agency.
Throughout this evolution delivering performance has remained the key focus.
We believe that all marketing efforts should be based on data-driven decisions and measurable by design.
Further, our experience has taught us that our work is never done – we constantly optimise channel media, budget, and creative towards more efficient, effective results throughout a campaign’s lifetime.
To achieve these objectives, we use the following services:
Integrated Strategy: Strongly data insight led, cross-channel
Data & Tech: Data collection and analysis, underpinned by tech selection
Creative:Creative build driven by campaign performance insights
User Journey Planning:Assessing how the user interacts, reducing friction
Media Planning/Buying:Best in class planning and implementation.
And We are lucky enough to work with brand who see mobile as imperative to their business and is the lead channel which is starting to lead their marcomms.
This was the bold prediction from by Mary Meeker. She was only a year out. According to Google, last year became the year mobile overtook desktop for search in major markets.
While other statistics tell us that mobile is the dominant screen in our lives and two thirds of video is viewed on mobile.
Whatever the statistic, in 2016 mobile is projected to make up more than half of digital ad spend according to eMarketer.
For a long time, and often in silo, understanding the complex fragmented landscape of mobile has been the job of mobile specialists like M&C Saatchi Mobile.
While understanding that complexity and delivering performance remains something only a few agencies can master, it is now crucial that mobile is baked into an integrated cross channel approach
So the example planning opportunity looks like this for mobile across a number of touchpoints
In this UK example, we now see that the user is inherently mobile across core digital channels – over 50% in search and display; even higher for social and video
Increasingly we see it must lead the process for our clients across things such as Strategy, Audience sizing and Channel Budgeting
The Data Strategy we employ aligns itself with our overall approach to helping clients grow their business. A “Through the Funnel” Data Strategy is all about optimising ad spend through all channels. As we move through the funnel, the number of data points for each user and the granularity of our understanding about them grows.
This allows us to communicate in a more intelligent and relevant way with users who we wish to push further through the funnel and helps us to identify those higher up the funnel that should be the focus of marketing investment. Knowing what an active loyal user looks like at the bottom of the funnel greatly helps in finding new users to feed in the top.
Every funnel is unique. We start by looking at a clients business and identifying their key touchpoints and levels of engagement across all channels and all stages of the purchase journey. In some cases the business model is all about page views, in others it’s increasing awareness and in some it’s driving and supporting footfall.
By understanding user journeys and the data that these generate, we identify what is relevant and important to creating a pipeline of profitable users.
Mapping out data-points for users through the funnel is key to growing an active, engaged and profitable customer base.
We work closely with clients to identify data sources. We start with the more obvious areas like ad tracking and campaign performance insights and where appropriate, we also look to enhance understanding of users with 1st party behavioural data such as category purchase behaviour.
We look at all this through a cost benefit lens. Data collection has to stack up in terms of commercial, legal, privacy and scale considerations and it has to contribute to performance.
Funnel Definition: Every business has their own funnel, we need to ensure that it is clearly mapped out
Data Hygiene & Visualisation: Sourcing, collecting and preparing to convert useful insights into business performance
LTV Analysis:What is value to a client – can be monetary or behavioural
User Modelling/Segmentation:Predict user behaviour to assign them to appropriate segments to deliver relevant comms
Journey Planning & Imp:Track user journey through the funnel and apply comms to drive movement further down

Targeting high end devices led to a more engaged user due to superior UX
This was part of a wider piece of consultancy we worked on for Microsoft, who were looking to integrate mobile into the retail journey
The Challenge:
The Windows Phone OS familiarity being low was the biggest barrier to purchasing
Therefore pre-store consideration/demand for Lumia was low at around 10%
Compounded by the fact that 81% of users were not in market on that day
Real disconnect between sales person and product knowledge – this relationship is handled by the
The Idea
Incentivised proximity marketing to drive increased footfall around key pilot locations
Introduce an OS emulator in-store via sales staff that is launched via QR code.
OS detection technology drives users to customised versions of Windows OS that address pain points for the rival technology
The Results:
Unsurprisingly the densest populated areas were most effective with the lowest cost per visit but overall footfall increased by up to 112%
The pilot drove over a 1000 engagements with the OS – a key campaign metric
Crucially the pilot doubled the amount of Windows Phone sales per salesperson who used the emulator as a tactic
Data leads every aspect of what we do for our clients and as reminder it informs every key aspect of what we do.
This has to be underpinned by key technology that allows for accurate and scalable
