How is AI Transforming Adtech?

Article | August 2, 2022

Just like adtech (advertising tech) revolutionized digital marketing, artificial intelligence (AI) is now revolutionizing ad tech. Many digital marketers believe that AI is the next big thing when it comes to digital marketing. This is easy to believe since AI has made automating tasks for proper targeting and positioning of ads, extremely easy and highly effective. AI is very effective at making ads both lucrative for advertisers and relevant to consumers. Many experts predict that AI will continue to grow significantly throughout the remainder of the decade. AI is being utilized to target ultra-specific niches in order to get the right ads in front of the largest number of highly targeted people. I has fully proven to be highly valuable in maximizing ad spend. With AI, advertisers are able to establish better quality leads than ever before. Adtech will continue evolving as AI technology continues to improve. This will create an ever-increasing number of adtech software development opportunities advertisers can take advantage of. We’ll take a deeper look at how artificial intelligence is changing adtech. 1. Consumer-focused advertising Each consumer is relatively different when it comes to their online behavior. This means that the ads for each consumer should be unique too. However, before AI, it wasn’t possible to make content that’s customer-centric for each individual consumer. AI has made it possible for advertisers to create consumer-driven content, which makes ads perform better now, more than they ever have before. There’s an increase in consumer data and that makes it easy for AI to predict the ads that will perform best with different types of consumers. 2. Advanced audience targeting Adtech has become more relevant with AI. The reason why ads are performing substantially better now than they were before, is because they’ve become more personalized. People get to see the ads that they are actually interested in. Several years ago, it was so hard to find the perfect audience to show an ad to. It was almost impossible. Now, the right audience is selected and targeted with AI-managed ad campaigns through the use of consumer data. Gigabytes of data are analyzed by artificial intelligence in a matter of seconds. It then is able to suggest an ideal audience for each ad campaign. It reduces the work that would have been done by humans in weeks. AI takes only a few minutes and the results are much better. 3. Sentiment analysis based on AI One of the most recent adaptations of AI is sentiment analysis. Through the use of different techniques, such as computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP), artificial intelligence can now judge what emotional state a consumer is in. Being able to understand consumer sentiment, allows AI to better understand the preferences and opinions of consumers. Consumer opinions are very important sources of consumer data. As a consumer, you’ll only see ads that are relevant to you. A business experiences an increase in ad clicks, conversions, and revenue through the use of sentiment analysis.

How Campaign Health Metrics Can Help You Streamline Ad Campaigns

Article | July 13, 2022

Advertising metrics provide clear information on the success and failures of an ad campaign. They are a practical tool to track all aspects of your marketing activities as well as how your campaign compares to designated metrics. Take a look at your campaign health metrics to understand your campaign’s performance. These metrics aren’t exactly KPIs (key performance indicators) because they are not tightly connected to your marketing goals. However, they do support the important ad metrics. They can give you insights into how to improve an ad campaign on your level. Check out this list of valuable metrics to add to your armory if you really want to find the value of your content, the value of your audience, and the success of the advertising you're hosting. Cost Efficiency Metrics (CPCs, CPMs, CPVs) Understand what your initial interaction with your audience is costing you. Metrics like cost per click, cost per mille and cost per view are foundational to determining where you need to focus to optimize your campaign while ensuring you have an eye on the changing trends. Click-Through Rate To understand how relevant your ads are to your audience, you need to look at your click-through rate. A low click-through rate means your ads have a huge scope of improvement and that you might not be targeting the right audience to meet your marketing goals. To avoid losing your ad spend, quickly identify drops in performance and alter your ads to make them relevant to your target audience. Conversion Rate The conversion rate of your ad indicates the relevance of your landing pages and how well they are optimized for conversion. If the conversion rate is low, it means that your site’s content is not resonating with your audience or that the audience you are targeting isn’t right for your product or service. It could also mean that your audience isn’t at the right stage of the funnel to take an action. You can make changes based on how this metric looks. Impression Share This metric helps you understand how much you can scale your campaign through aggressive bidding. It can also highlight underperforming keywords and how you can enhance your campaign by adjusting the budget. Adjusting geo-targeting settings and improving ad quality are some of the ways to increase the impression share. On-Site Engagement To gauge the interest of the audience in your ad campaign, keep an eye on on-site engagement metrics like bounce rate, average number of pages visited, and average session duration. These are the real measures of the interest your prospects show in your ads. Quality Score A quality score helps you identify ways to improve your campaign. This score gives you a comprehensive look at all the individual scores that affect your campaign. The historical data that evaluates the changes in your campaign over time is visible here. You can pinpoint which changes led to a positive impact and which didn’t. Bottomline Campaign health metrics are your answer to improving your ad campaigns. Taking note of what is working and what isn’t is the right way to constantly enhance the performanc

Adding Value Through Your Messaging Pushing your message effectively to the user can ensure the success of your campaign. Your text should be crisp and sharp, interesting yet simple to comprehend. Use popular phrases or buzz words to create a connection with the users. Don’t Underestimate Visual Appeal Visual appeal plays a vital role in the way users react to ads. The image size of your ad, the moving flow, and the options for interacting with the ads can impact your ad’s performance.

Remember, Brevity is the Soul of Wit The content of your ad should be impressive enough to make the users engage with it. Users will respond to clear copy, visuals and your message’s simplicity.

Veritonic, Audacy | February 14, 2023

On February 13, 2023, Veritonic, the industry's most comprehensive audio research and analytics platform, announced a partnership with Audacy, and the results of a ground-breaking audio study concluding that in audio advertisements, four key elements—sonic branding, music, voice, and message, that maximize intent to purchase, recall, and brand favorability. Sonic branding is a highly successful marketing method to increase brand identification and sales. It is an essential part of a brand's arsenal and a constant factor in advertising success. It is fundamental to how we perceive and recognize brands. A regularly used logo may strengthen a business's visual and vocal identity and increase brand recall. Sound branding accomplishes the following: Increases Radio and Podcast purchase intent by 6% and 2%, respectively. Radio ad recall increased by 17%, and podcast advertisements by 14%. Sonic branding makes radio advertisements +7% more trustworthy, +6% more pleasant, +5% more powerful, and +4% more relevant. The idea is to pick music that matches a business's fundamental values and brand identity, whether you're curating unique compositions or choosing essential tunes. Music may support a brand's values, attract attention inside advertisements, and connect with target consumers. Adding music to advertisements increases buying intent by 5%. Additionally, music helps commercials remain top-of-mind, drives buy intent, and ads with music were more remembered, achieving 4% greater recall.

IAS Case Study Reveals In-View Ads Tripled the Return on Ad Spend Compared to Not-In-View Placements

Integral Ad Science | November 23, 2022

Integral Ad Science (Nasdaq: IAS), a global leader in digital media quality, today published a case study conducted in partnership with Catalina, a leader in shopper intelligence that personalizes the shopper journey. The study aimed to understand how media quality influences return on ad spend (ROAS) and sales lift in correlation to in-view advertisements and time-in-view. The measurement period was recorded from May to July 2022. To measure sales for a major CPG brand through the use of display advertisements in both mobile and desktop environments, Catalina used a test versus control methodology to calculate campaign sales lift. The test group consisted of 14.6M households that were exposed to the promoted brand campaign. Some of the key takeaways from this study include: 180% lift in incremental ROAS for the in-view group versus not-in-view. In-view ads have a massive impact on ROAS compared to those that do not meet viewability standards. 74% of incremental sales from the test campaign were driven by the in-view audience. IAS and Catalina broke the test group into an in-view and not-in-view decomposition. Incremental sales from the in-view ads drove higher sales lift and incremental sales compared to ads that are not in view. 3 to 10 seconds is the ideal time-in-view range for driving incremental sales. Advertisements that were in view for 3-10 seconds outperformed both shorter and longer time-in-view rates with an incremental index of 118. This insight further highlights the strong correlation between time-in-view as a proxy to attention that drives key outcomes. This drove sales and directly impacted ROAS. “As a leader in personalization and shopper intelligence, Catalina has been partnering with brands and retailers for a long time to understand the value of media as it relates to consumer responsiveness, purchase activity, incremental sales and ROAS, both in-flight and post-campaign,” said Brian Dunphy, SVP of Strategic Partnerships at Catalina. “Through our partnership with IAS, we are thrilled to jointly help CPG brands and agencies get the most out of their media investments by combining IAS’s industry leading media quality capabilities with Catalina’s ROAS and sales lift analyses to deliver deeper insights around overall media quality, viewability and time-in-view.” “While viewability is an important metric, metrics such as time in view can be even more precise indicators of attention and outcomes,” said Yannis Dosios, Chief Commercial Officer, IAS. “While viewability is an important metric, metrics such as time in view can be even more precise indicators of attention and outcomes. What is powerful with this study is we see a clear link between time in view and in-store sales: a direct impact on better outcomes. By partnering with measurement companies like Catalina, we can better understand the importance and impact of media quality on driving attention and outcomes for our clients,” said Yannis Dosios, Chief Commercial Officer, IAS.
