HOW MARKETERS ARE ALTERING THEIR TV ATTRIBUTION STRATEGIES

22. 1. 2019 | 4 min read The slow but steady digitization of TV advertising will place further pressure on ad measurement companies to create more robust cross-platform metrics and attribution models. But for that to happen, several types of companies—including multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) and TV networks—need to update their technologies and strategies.

TV CAN NOW COMPLETE THE ATTRIBUTION PUZZLE

5. 12. 2018 | 5 min read Once confined to brand and awareness metrics, the world of TV attribution has evolved to measure responses and effectiveness in the same way digital media has for years. Critically, the concept of quantifying offline media's contribution to a business outcome, no matter where the consumer is in their purchase journey, has realigned the industry's approach to assigning value across all channels. For television, the availability of smarter data from devices such as set-top boxes and smart TVs, as well as the advanced application of that data by specialist companies, has shone a light on TV's efficacy in pushing the consumer through the purchase funnel. Whether measuring brand metrics or transactional behavior, marketers can now employ reach and precision tactics through advanced TV to drive mass and personalized messaging and attribute value to those media investments. This has led to more robust techniques to not only ensure that TV is getting its fair share of credit for a conversion, but also validate what we have known instinctively for years: TV drives results. There is no question that TV is the king of building brands. Television has been the platform that marketers have turned to for decades due its mass reach, ability to drive awareness, cultural influence and social (in the macro sense) engagement. Advanced TV now expands those capabilities beyond awareness, down through the funnel, enabling solutions and measurement at the consideration, intent and sales stages.
