perform worse than non-

26. AGENCIES ARE ESSENTIAL,
BUT FRUSTRATING
• Everyone we spoke to had used agencies,
• they are necessary
• and this is what they had to say:
“try to rip you
off, so do your
research”
“don't get online
brands”
“Both [kinds] are
frustrating!!”
“Agencies aren’t
flexible”
“Find an analytical
media buying
agency”
“poor understanding
of e-commerce”

Notas do Editor
When we were researching this topic, one of the things people constantly told us was that they needed real dataso we decided to collect some
I’ll be presenting the data, not presenting a theory on how you should advertise on TVWe intend this to be a framework for the discussion laterHopefully, you’ll gain some insights into it
There are over 150 web companies represented on the graphWe see at the top end, spend of around 25 millionAt the bottom end it is in the low thouandsTV is now accessibleDefinitely now a core channel
So lets look within the room, to data from our surveyWe see that three companies who answered this question…We see people choosing the level of their involvement – probably according to needs/experienceIN ALL, FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT REGARDLESS OF LEVEL…
This slide is about creative spend per campaign from within the roomWe see a range within this room of between £4000 and 350,000What do we learn from this?Don’t necessarily need massive budget to test and get results from TV. Clear divide on theory behind creativespendClearly creative spend will be a function of both company and campaign sizebut this is further evidence that TV is accessible and provides RoI at all levels
Other considerationsCOORDINATION: TV IS NOT AN ISOLATED CHANNELEveryone says that it impacts on PPC – so we’re interested in thisAnd we’re also interested in social, and what the impact here isWHEN TO STARTThis is a topic which came up a lot in our conversationsWe see 12 year old, established companies who haven’t yet started on TVAmazon started advertising on TV for the first time last year.At the same time we see start-ups using it from the get-go
We thought going into this that there were two types of campaign: branding and direct responseWe thought that we would see people going essentially for one or another.However, most interestingly they are not mutually exclusive
This chart shows the mix in what you’re are trying to achieve from TVWe have some companies going for complete DR message, using TV to drive sales, registrations or whatever it may be…At the same time we see some using TV to go more for a more brand-centric message but having DR in the mix to ensure some RoIOne respondent said “Campaign has to pay for itself, but branding is the longer term goal.”What influences your choice of objective?Your business modelYour choices will in turn impact on KPIs and measurement…So lets move on to measurement
Tracking offline ads is always difficult – this is not newParticular challenge for highly analytical data orientated people who are used to performance channelsWe’ve heard that because of this lack of data, it can be hard to get a mandate from the board to go out and experiment with TVWe’d be interested in hearing about this later on if anyone has any insights…SO LETS LOOK AT HOW PEOPLE ARE MEASURING
Metrics everyone is tracking…Site traffic and branded search are unsurprisingly the big ones hereThese are the most obvious and easiestLook to the middle of the graph and companies are trying to track direct response metrics BUT IT IS MUCH HARDER….They are trying to measure key customer value metrics: CPA, LTV and ROISo we know companies track the obvious metrics, but we also have a long tail to the right, of KPIs that some track, and others don’tCompanies are tailoring KPIs for themselves, not going out and looking for KPIs that work for everybody
Companies looking for direct response look for a spike 10 minutes after a slotResidual uplift for a period of timeOne of the complaints we see is that this gets lost in the noise around other channelsCumulative effect,90 days, reflects a different objectiveSO LETS LOOK AT THE RESULTS PEOPLE ARE ACHIEVING
Across the board we saw meaningful uplifts in traffic regardless of messageBut the extent differs massivelyDepends on spend but also messaging / objectives / call to actionBut we think you are guaranteed some upliftWhatever the uplift, advertising on TV will result in the opening up of new customer segmentsSO IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC, IT WORKS
WHAT THIS SLIDE IS SHOWING YOU IS TV CPA AND LTV vs OTHER CHANNELSOn the left side we have CPA metricsAnd you can see that for some, CPA is 40% lower while for others it is 50% higherThis is a wild variationDepends on lots of variables, not least business model and objectivesOn the right we have LTVGenerally harder to track and harder for us to get dataInterestingly we see that the company at the bottom, who’s TV CPA is 50% higher than PPC, finds LTV to 100% higherThereby making the channel very profitable.Evaluating LTV is clearly hugely important
We asked what tools people are usingThe information is conspicuous in its absenceWe would love to hear more today about how people are measuring
TV is still new and there is a lot to learnOne respondent is quoted as saying: “It's a rollercoaster: we went from great to non-viable to great again in four months...”optimisation is a big part of the game for everyone in the roomif it's 25% of our spend it's more like a 40% of our effort
Challenges in optimising for TV were broadLong lead times in getting informationExpense at changing creative were two big considerationsThe ways of optimising are not as concrete as onlineWould be interesting to see in more detail how they did this, if this is you, please share later
In general there was a mixbetween broad reach and targeted strategiesAbility to target is one of the main new drivers for TVBut as we’ll see, its not a silver bullet
For targeting the options we came across were: Channel, day-part And programme targeting Of these programme targeting is the most effective but hardest to scaleRegional was not effectiveUnless it was a test for a big marketWe have to say that targeting therefore is:Available but hard to get right – see the quote saying “sometimes targeted ads perform worse than non targeted”If right, effective but hard to scaleAND... Interestingly, broad reach was the most consistent driver of growth for half the participants…
Everyone had broadly similar experience with TV agencies…They were tricky to manageThey were not data driven – if we think about it, it is probably not in their interest to be…They struggle to think like a PPC agencyIf anyone had a particularly good time with agencies, it would be interesting to hear about…
To Recap, these are our six takeawaysTV is definitely worth being involved with over the next few yearsYou don’t have to spend bigIt can be a source of immediate RoILots of opportunities to optimise This means there are substantial opportunities,You’ll now be hearing from people who have taken those opportunities in the recent past
