Leveraging

Influence

How many

advertisers find it

difficult to work with

influencers on CPA?

Everyone wants influence

How many

advertisers work

primarily on a CPA

basis?

How many

advertisers

measure/reward on

metrics outside last

click?

How many

advertisers have

been tasked with

recruiting more

influencers?

How does an advertiser approach this…

Tagging publisher

types separately

Looking at where

non-converting users

departed advertiser

site and what

information they

lacked

Highlight trends in

behaviour the

recognise value

e.g. Content sites typically drive

visits lasting 22 minutes (50%

higher than Coupon or

Cashback).

Create a metrics to

record if this value is

being delivered

1. Work out what you want

2. Tell people what you want

3. Pay people for what you want

4. Get what you want

Make influence performance driven

What do you do with this in practice

Segment a top-of-

funnel budget

Book activity with

existing content

Recruit new

publishers

Challenge bottom-

drown!

to go overboard

• Geo-target competitors

Push notifications

Follow up on intent

• Digitally target competitors

Email targeting

On site exposure

• You have to be more prepared

(unless you’ve got a clever

technology like Uniqodo)

But trading teams love the chance to push a

single product!

• It doesn’t happen very often

• Pinned posts

• Newsletter spots

• Bags of potential!

It’s not

Travel has trading

teams too

• Destinations

• Departure points

• Time of travel

trading

Boosting

awareness

How many of you know

a marketer who has

provided little or no

data on a marketing

campaign because “it’s

just a brand piece”?

Brand activity must be measured

Source: Marketing Week

• Marketers must now report

back on the performance of

brand campaigns

• Social Media is at the top of

this list

• There are many more

metrics that could be

considered

• Brand teams still have

some catching up to do

Store Openings

• Geo-targeting stores

• Measuring footfall

• Measuring eyeballs

• Measuring engagement

• Measuring conversions

Product branding

• Building awareness through

• Measuring through digital

engagement metrics and

• Supplier funded

• And following up with

conversion

Travel too

Beyond

retail?

How does this set us up

for the future?

Affiliate

industry

awareness

Advertisers

definite value

beyond

revenue in turn

requiring

additional

metrics

Publishers

demonstrate

aptitude for

driving various

types of value

Publisher with

large audience

personalisation

ROI is still vital

but what that

return is

continues to

evolve

What might stop us from getting here?

Ad Blockers Drowning in Data Ourselves

Final thought

We work in a brilliant and

innovative industry and

we are at the forefront of

data driven demonstrable

value.

Questions?

But why do

advertisers

influencers?

+• Identify what these

user look like

users are coming from

so far

user that is more

valuable
