CMO Horror Story: Why Data Transparency is a Must Have
20
• Story is 100% true• Names and vendors have
been omitted to save reputation
• It all began innocently enough
#agility2016
Digital Advertising with a DMP “the BEST bad idea”
• Audience buying is the best way to purchase advertising
• DMPs are the best way for the advertiser to control the audience-buying process and evaluate each vendor’s contribution
• DMPs give advertisers the ability to switch vendors in and out based on true measured performance

DMP can allow you to negotiate timebound POCs

MAXIMIZE YOUR DIGITAL ADVERTISING ROI4 WAYS ENSIGHTEN HELPS
#agility2016
Data Management is a Enterprise Strategy
• It is not a product (DMP or anything else)
• It is driven by your enterprise business strategy (personalization, journeys, attribution, customer lifetime value)
• It begins with a first-party data strategy that focuses on collecting the raw granular data in real-time from every digital interaction and acting on that data to personalize experiences and measure customer journeys
• Once your first-party data strategy has been established, layer on your 2nd/3rd party data strategies
31
#agility2016
Collect & Own Data From Every Digital Touch 1st Party to You
• Whoever owns the pixel domain owns the data
• Collect and access this data in both cookies and in the server logs
• Generate a single view of digital activity across vendors and channels and integrate the data into your existing systems of record
• Use this data to drive strategic initiatives like personalization, attribution, journey building, and advanced modeling
32
#agility2016
Personalize Media + Site Experiences w/o Latency/Flicker
• Not relying on 3rd party cookies means you have a larger audience segment to target
• Because data is in 1st party cookies the marketer has complete control over how to leverage the data for client side or server-side personalization
• Eliminate any additional 3rd party round trip calls to DMP APIs to access audience data
#agility2016
Do Independent Incremental Analysis on Your Media Buys
• Easily implement A/B testing (PSA test)* for your media purchases
• Validate true lift across campaigns and vendors
• Include incremental measurement analysis on your key media buys
• Can be done in-house without media vendor involvement
• Do deeper compare of segments and behavior
34
#agility2016
Using Arbitrage Strategies in Retargeting to Maximize ROI
• Optimize retargeting funnels based on the efficiency and effectiveness of each vendor in monetizing specific user segments
• Validate true lift across campaignsand vendors
• Is it reach, algorithms, orcookie bombing?
• Understand which segments result in lift and which are just cannibalizing from other channels

Final Thoughts
• Using data to optimize the media performance is both the lowest hanging fruit in most organizations, and the area with the most upside
• Brands need to focus on building a center of excellence around understanding media data and how it interacts with the rest of the user journey
• TMS + DMP are valuable weapons in the marketer’s fight for greater control and transparency over media buying and performance
