Buying power is very important to getting good deals. The sole metric to evaluate a buy is gross cost. Hence the consolidation of buys in the form of companies like Group M, which call themselves “Media Investment Management companies”. Buying power is irrelevant. More important are consultative skillsets to define what the advertiser wants and be able to measure these. Thereafter, it is intelligent buying, creative and continual optimization that counts.

Creative is judged by the “experts” – ex. Cannes There is no standard or unifying metric for what is considered to be creative. A general rule in old media buying is intrusion. Creative is adjudicated by the “crowds”, that is the consumers themselves. One standard metric for assessing creativity is the Click through Rate or Clicks divided by impressions served. The rule for new media is relevance. OLD MEDIA AMVC MEDIA PREDATOR DIGITAL [email_address]

Metrics are typically nominal or non-numeric in nature. If a survey asks a respondent if they recall Brand X more often, the answer can be Yes or No. Such a value is called a nominal variable Nominal variables are the lowest form of data and lend themselves to minimal analysis. Metrics are typically Ratio Scaled. A boy whose weight is 100 cm is twice as tall as a boy whose height is 50 cms. Height, weight , Length are all Ratio Scaled. Ratio scaled variables lend themselves to sophisticated statistical analysis OLD MEDIA AMVC MEDIA PREDATOR DIGITAL [email_address]
