Online Display Advertising: Its Quantified Effect on Organic Down-Funnel Activity

Since the earliest days of web marketing, the industry has suffered because of an incomplete picture of the effects of the basic banner advertisement on the business IT decision maker. Back in the day, the industry counted clicks and CTRs (click-through rates). But, the numbers were so low many marketing executives used that as a rationale to stop spending. Nobody could prove a return on investment. CPL (cost per lead) programs ruled. In recent years we have allocated significant additional value to performance data by including post impression engagement on our clients’ websites. But still we have doubters…what happens if someone is not ready to visit a client’s site, or does not hit our tagged pages, or they frequently delete their cookies? We know most IT pros would not do what we want them to even if threatened with imminent system shut down.

Deciphering the digital political ad databases

whitePaper | December 2, 2019

One of the ways that Russian agents interfered in the 2016 election was by using online advertising to spread disinformation. In 2018, Facebook, Google, and Twitter created new resources to help the public track political ads on their platforms, bringing more transparency to the sponsors of digital ads. Snapchat followed suit in September 2019. But these databases of political ads are woefully inadequate, as Issue One has detailed in a major report. They lack uniform standards, display uneven amounts of information, and are difcult to use. Here’s what you need to know about them.

Ghost Bidding for Causal Advertising Measurement

whitePaper | August 10, 2022

It’s critical for marketers to know if their campaigns are influencing behavior in response to an ad. But to really know if a campaign actually works, consumer response must be compared with those who hadn’t been exposed to the ad. This new study demonstrates the dramatic power of “ghost bidding” in revealing true campaign effectiveness. A large U.S.-based apparel company ran an extended ad campaign to a targeted audience. The difference? The company used demand-side platform technology to simultaneously expose and exclude identical user groups from viewing the ad. This A/B study used “ghost bidding”—withdrawing bids from the excluded group at the last moment—to plot the true effectiveness of display, video and audio ads, and demonstrated a powerful validation of marketing effectiveness.
