Advertising Campaign Measurement Solution

Snowplow, the global leader in data creation, today announced the launch of a dynamic new solution for measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Called Attribution Modeling, the solution Powered by Snowflake, gives clients real-time insights into advertising performance, enabling essential campaign optimization in near-real time.

By building Attribution Modeling on Snowflake, Snowplow is able to empower direct-response advertisers to gain insights into conversion journeys by analyzing click event data from advertising campaigns. With Snowplow’s first-party customer data, organizations can generate, enrich, and model ultra-low latency click event streams, delivered in Snowflake’s single, integrated platform. Companies can easily analyze and respond to advertising performance in near real-time with a unified data asset, regardless of their resource structure. This capability also enables marketers to make data-driven decisions to allocate resources to the most effective campaigns and channels in near-real time.

Joint customer, Digital Virgo, was able to leverage Attribution Modeling, Powered by Snowflake, to reduce data latency by 90% and eliminate data silos. With Attribution Modeling, Digital Virgo gained access to standardized data reports from all 40 countries in which it operates and was able to re-allocate its marketing budget to high-performance campaigns, gaining a significant number of new subscribers during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

"Before Snowplow, we had a packaged analytics tool. We did not have any data sets of events available in real-time. Snowplow and Snowflake opened up a world of possibilities for us by providing data to our team so we can quickly analyze trends in campaigns, within five or 10 minutes." – Anthony Gianastasio, Head of Analytics, Digital Virgo.

“Attribution Modeling is an application that addresses the changing needs of marketing and advertising professionals, offering impactful and cost-effective campaigns. By building our solution on Snowflake, we have been able to provide a cloud-based alternative to other campaign analytics solutions available today. Snowplow will work with Snowflake to enable customers to take control of first-party data and map granular customer journeys in a centralized source of truth. This will provide accurate and comprehensive campaign measurement, driving success for customers." – Conor Doyle, VP Partnerships & Business Development, Snowplow.

“We look forward to continuing to partner with Snowplow to help our customers analyze trends quickly and at scale, consistently giving them better analytics.” – Scott Schilling, Senior Director of Global Partner Development at Snowflake.

DanAds: A Decade of Breakthroughs in Self-Serve Ad Automation

ExchangeWire | August 01, 2023

For the past ten years, DanAds has been at the forefront of self-serve ad automation technology, revolutionising the programmatic advertising space with cutting-edge solutions for an ever-changing marketplace. Through a customer-centric approach and a shared vision, DanAds has continuously pushed boundaries and remained a global leader in innovation. In a rapidly evolving advertising industry, brands, and publishers have consistently sought the most efficient and cost-effective ways to reach their target audiences. Online advertising provided broader reach, but it also brought challenges such as longer timelines, higher costs, and reduced transparency. DanAds founders, Istvan Beres and Peo Persson, recognised the need for a better solution and founded DanAds in 2013, aiming to reshape how publishers and brands sell their inventory to advertisers. The early days were met with scepticism as Beres and Persson urged prospective clients to embrace a future-forward approach. Despite the initial resistance, DanAds secured financing in 2016 and signed clients such as Bloomberg, Philips, and Truecaller, setting the stage for their self-serve revolution. In subsequent years, DanAds continued to thrive, acquiring Backbone in 2018 and expanding its client base with companies like TripAdvisor. In 2019, DanAds established subsidiaries in the UK and the US, signalling their global aspirations. Then, in 2020, amidst the challenges of the pandemic, DanAds managed to achieve a net revenue of 24m SEK, (£1.8m) showcasing their resilience and adaptability. The momentum continued in 2021, with DanAds completing an equity financing round of 121m SEK (£8.9m) and securing an additional 100m SEK (£7.4m) in debt financing from the EIB and Nordea. The company launched its core self-serve platform, experienced significant growth to 45m SEK (£3.3m), and appointed a new board of directors led by chairman Anders Borg. However, 2022 presented unforeseen challenges, including inflation, a halting global economy, and geopolitical conflicts. DanAds prioritised its team's well-being by relocating developers from Ukraine to western parts of the country and other European locations. Despite these obstacles, DanAds achieved remarkable growth, generating 131m SEK (£9.7m) in net revenue with a net retention rate of 136% going into 2022. They also hosted the world's first self-serve and Advertising Automation Summit. In 2023, DanAds celebrated its 10th anniversary with a focus on expanding its US team to 10 people and securing 13 contracts in Q1 alone, a significant increase compared to the previous year. The company now operates in two divisions, automation services, and self-serve, and has expanded into new marketplaces, solidifying its position as a true ad tech industry leader. DanAds' success has not gone unnoticed, with several prestigious awards and recognitions in 2023, including the "Product of the Year" award at the NAB show and a spot on the AdExchanger Power Player List. G2 also recognised them as a high performer during the spring and summer. So why do publishers believe in self-serve so much? The answer lies in the power and control it gives them. DanAds' self-serve technology and ad automation are adaptable and used by international portfolios of clients across various industries. Publishers gain control over their advertising lifecycle, increasing transparency and trust in their processes. As DanAds looks to the future, its founders' belief in self-serve's potential has been validated. With a robust account management team, a strong US presence, and a growing pipeline of high-quality clients, DanAds is poised for a bright and successful future in the ad tech industry. About DanAds DanAds is the leading provider of self-serve advertising technology, connecting ad sellers (publishers) directly with advertisers of any size through a fully automated ad sales platform. DanAds provides publishers with their own branded platform, allowing them to dramatically reduce manual administration and monetize their valuable user data. With the help of DanAds, all ad buyers can get access to premium advertising space independent of brand and budget, without expensive middlemen. Clients include Bloomberg Media, Tripadvisor, The Washington Post, Hearst Magazines, Roku and SoundCloud. Learn more on www.DanAds.com.

EDO NFL TV Outcomes Report Reveals NFL Ad Effectiveness, Strength of Streaming

businesswire | August 28, 2023

EDO, the TV outcomes company, released today the inaugural NFL TV Outcomes Report, which highlights key ad engagement trends from the 2022-23 NFL season. EDO analyzed every Convergent TV ad that ran during linear and streaming NFL programming to reveal the season’s most impactful matchups for advertisers, the brands with the most effective investment, and granular analysis of TV ad engagement data across nine categories, such as Automotive, CPG, and Restaurants. Heading into the 2023 season, NFL media inventory has never been more essential. Live sports held the lion’s share of Upfront investment this year, and as a pair of Hollywood strikes threaten to derail fall TV premieres, advertisers are looking to America’s favorite sport to fill critical gaps in their media plans. As marketers across industries continue to contend with economic headwinds, EDO’s outcomes data will help optimize limited budgets on TV’s most premium inventory. “Every Convergent TV marketer knows that the NFL has long been the undisputed champion of the live sports ecosystem, keeping the advertising industry running smoothly amidst time-shifting, cord-cutting, and migration to social media,” said Kevin Krim, President & CEO, EDO. “But in this challenging TV environment, audience isn’t enough. If you don’t know what is driving your consumers to engage with your brand or make a purchase, you’re not going to be able to plan and optimize media and creative before the next week’s kickoff.” Key highlights from the EDO’s NFL TV Outcomes Report include: NFL Dominates Top Linear Programming. In 2022, the NFL was responsible for half of the top ten most engaging linear TV programs in terms of advertising effectiveness — topped by a Super Bowl that was 220% more engaging than the average primetime program. Live Streaming and Sports are the New Frontier. In its inaugural season, Thursday Night Football games on Amazon’s Prime Video were 116% more effective at driving consumer engagement than the broadcast primetime average. Spanish-Language NFL Heats Up. While ads aired during Spanish-language (SL) regular season and playoff games performed about on par with the SL primetime average, Super Bowl LVII on Telemundo was about 208% more effective at driving engagement. Nyquil, Heinz, and Flonase were among the top SL advertisers of the season. Thanksgiving Day NFL Games Drive the Most Ad Impact. Three of the most impactful games for advertisers ran on Thanksgiving Day, with the primetime matchup between the New England Patriots and the Minnesota Vikings taking the top spot. Rihanna is Super Bowl LVII’s Real MVP. During her first performance in seven years, Rihanna generated over 1000x as much online engagement as the median-performing in-game Super Bowl LVII ad. The term "Rihanna pregnant" generated 52x as much online engagement during Halftime as did the median-performing Big Game ad this year. EDO also analyzed brand and creative performance in NFL programming by category. “Luxury auto and restaurant advertisers had particularly strong investment and ad engagement throughout last NFL season,” said Laura Grover, SVP, Head of Client Solutions, EDO. “Regular season ad engagement for categories including CPG: Food & Beverage, Non-Luxury Auto, and Retail performed about the same, on average, as their respective category primetime performance benchmarks. Grover continued, “Despite this, ad performance for these categories saw a major boost from campaigns run during the playoffs. Ads from CPG Food & Beverage brands were 102% more effective than the category's primetime average in the playoffs, Non-Luxury Auto ads were 42% more effective than its category average, and Retail ads were 35% more effective.” The most effective TV advertisers during the 2022 NFL regular season, per industry, are: Alcohol Crown Royal Patron Busch Automotive, Luxury BMW Mercedes-Benz Lexus Automotive, Non-Luxury Toyota GMC Ford CPG, Food & Beverage Glacéau Mountain Dew Dr Pepper CPG, Home & Personal Invisalign Chanel Oral-B Financial Services SoFi Experian Nerd Wallet Insurance: Aflac USAA Allstate Restaurants Panera Bread Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Pizza Hut Retail Dick's Sporting Goods Old Navy Rakuten “In this environment, brands simply can’t afford to make a big investment at the beginning of the season and wait until after the Super Bowl to find out whether it worked,” continued Krim. “With investment-grade TV outcomes data at your side, you’ll be able to call performance-optimizing audibles all season long - which will carry you through the regular season and beyond.” Visit edo.com/NFL to download EDO’s NFL TV Outcomes Report and know what’s working for every brand advertising in the NFL.
