63 The internet is a BIG place.

64 5 million Queries per Second. 300 million impressions per minute. 18 billion impressions per hour. 432 billion impressions per day.

65 So how do we find Waldo in a sea of so much information?

66 It can take up to 75% of a campaign s flight and budget this is not possible in short flights. Most of this waste can be eliminated before a single impression is put into market.

67 How? Data. (Cookie & Device ID-based)

68

69 Put data at the center of your plan. 1 st Party Data (advertiser owned) Active tags on sites, apps, events Homepage visits, conversion, app download, clicks, video view Offline data, CRM lists, offline purchases, addresses, rewards card member 3 rd Party Data (data partners create & own) Online and offline collection methodology Purchases, web browsing, public records, banks, in-app Lookalike Modeling Find 3 rd party segments that look most like 1 st party audience

70 How Audience Data is Created: Web vs. App Identifiers How Data Elements are Built Web Audience Data Cookie IDs Unique to each Ad Tech company Requiring syncing Cookies expire Previous Web Behavior Sites that you have visited App Audience Data Device IDs Persistent (no syncing) No limit lifespans Previous Physical Location Based on your real world location

A lookalike model shows you a group of users that exhibit traits most similar to known converters or valuable first party audiences lookalike modeling positions your media to reach the right user before a single impression is put into the market. site / category geography IP address browser / OS audience device type time of day date / DOW

73 Without pixels on your brand s site, & audience targeting on the plan No retargeting clickers, video viewers, site visitors, and no sequential messaging Oversaturation to brand, issues with frequency caps No cross-device targeting to other phones, laptops, tablets associated with your audience s profile No insight into user s full path to conversion, or optimize to conversion or site visit events Wasted budgets in learning phase of campaign from not leveraging lookalike modeling
