  23. Gaming Measurement THE BIG QUESTION: What exactly do you mean by "game"? • Console • PC • Mobile • Casual vs. Hardcore Gamers • Male vs. Female Behavior

  25. Gaming Measurement Benefits of Advertising within games: • Engagement poster child • Participatory medium • Very long interaction time • Immense personalization and targeting potential

  26. Gaming Measurement "Gaming is an activity, not a medium. It's a very new landscape, and if we put too much expectation or specified 'ROI' metrics onto games, then we might undermine the potential of games as an advertising channel."

  27. Mobile Marketing Best Practices ISSUES: • Low U.S. Adoption (so far) • Lack of scale • Lack of standards • Measurement and metrics • Cross-carrier operability

  28. Mobile Marketing Best Practices ISSUES: • Low U.S. Adoption (so far) • Lack of scale • Lack of standards • Measurement and metrics • Cross-carrier operability But wait…

  29. Mobile Marketing Best Practices AND MORE ISSUES: • Services not fast enough • High cost, no formalized pricing • Turn around time • Limited creative options • Consumer resistance to cost, intrusion

  33. Blogging/RSS Advertising HOW & WHAT TO MEASURE: • Engagement (e.g. # of comments) • Email responses • Impressions & clicks • Sell-thru • Buzz via Technorati, Google, etc. • Podcast downloads • Track mention of brand names

  34. Blogging/RSS Advertising BENEFITS: • High user engagement • User comments • Word of mouth • "Good for nanotargeting"

  35. Video Ga-Ga Video Advertising & The New IAB Video Standards

  36. Video Advertising ISSUES: • Lack of quality inventory • Limited tracking & metrics • Lack of standards • High cost • Need for custom, web-specific video • Getting beyond the online :30 spot • Poor vendor/agency communications

  37. Video Advertising WHAT'S WORKING? • Custom creative • Interactive video • "Surround sound" ad units • :5 spots & :23 spots • Ad/content integration

  38. Video Advertising "Practical applications jump out and will naturally become adopted. 'iPod pre-roll downloadable video' is one of those practical applications."

  39. IAB Video Standards "A valid broadband ad impression may only be counted when an ad counter (logging server) receives and responds to an HTTP request for a tracking asset from a client. The count must happen after the initiation of the stream, post-buffering, as opposed to the linked broadband content itself. Specifically, measurement should not occur when the buffer is initiated, rather measurement should occur when the ad itself begins to appear on the user's browser, closest to the opportunity to see."

  40. IAB Video Standards ISSUES & QUESTIONS: • Acceptance and compliance • How do 3rd party ad servers integrate with this standard? • Negative impact on inventory • This measures the ad/media space rather than the creative or the interaction • Research/case studies needed

  43. Contextual vs. Behavioral Targeting Definitions of Behavioral: • Messaging to users in non-endemic environments based on their demonstrated behaviors • Targeting the audience • Targeting "after the moment"

  45. Contextual vs. Behavioral Targeting The two approaches have vastly different metrics and choosing between them is a false choice.
