Weekly Media Optimization Review: October 13, 2019
Targeting Impressions/Spend: targeting remains aligned to
conversion optimization: overall UBR audiences are under-
represented which constitute 18% budget spend and 7.5%
of conversions
Elderly + Audience Targeting
overshadowing UBR audiences.
Requires separate UBR campaign
activation for each audience to ensure
adequate impressions are served across
audiences which can be further
optimized without constraints
Banner Dimension Performance: 300 x 250 (image) and 320
x 50 (text only) are receiving majority of spend via inventory
availability and optimization.
Text No Image banner ads perform well
for conversions due to volume of
impressions served, optimization
direction, and inventory availability.
But they underperform for 3 core KPIs
(CTR, CVR and CPA).
We need greater balance for serving
more images with applied optimization
rules to be able to measure and gauge
performance gains.
Device (Desktop vs. Mobile) Performance: mobile receiving
a large percentage of spend as aligned with a significantly
higher CTR (0.17%) over desktop (0.02%) - yet desktop
outperforms for CVR (31.57% desktop vs. 2.10% mobile)
and CPA ($46.95 desktop vs. $77.82 mobile).
Need campaign re-optimization by either
changing optimization rules or force a
defined desktop budget allocation
percentage to measure performance
impact.
Creative Image Performance: currently text banners are
overshadowing images via optimization directions; and
when they are served, images are not being delivered
aligned to specific audiences for self-identification.
Need three directional approaches: 1)
align creative for specific audience use,
2) constrain spend on text only banners
forcing greater budget allocation to
image banners to measure performance
impact, 3) use images with a set of rules
within proposed UBR mini campaigns.
Geo-Metro Performance: campaign being optimized
according to assigned rules, but consideration is whether
campaign can expand to include national regions outside of
HPO markets to include more urban, suburban and rural
areas across the country to reach a broader audience at
scale.
Need expanded campaign execution
planning consideration.
