giving us the ability to identify, build and target audiences at scale. We now have over 300 audience segments for advertisers to access..
Sticking with proving effectiveness - at last years Upfronts we also announced the launch of Listener Insight ID,
which for the first time brought audio in line with other forms of digital media in terms of tracking
This gave brands the knowledge they needed to plan, optimise and measure their campaigns in a way that simply wasn’t possible before.
Since that launch we’ve taken Listener Insight ID beyond reporting purely on ‘how many’, and - by analysing delivery times, creative messaging, audience profiling, regional variations - also included the ‘when’, the ‘how’, the ‘who’ and the ‘where’.
Beginning with our first test campaign in August 2016, Listener Insight ID has now been used by over 40 brands across multiple categories, including EE, Audi, Santander, Thomas Cook and EON.
EE, Audi, Santander, Thomas Cook and EON.
Another strand of our data-strategy which was announced last year was our first ever 2nd party data partnership with Haymarket,
Since then we’ve significantly expanded that offering - and in the past couple of months have signed data sharing agreements with three more partners
Including Zoopla, the UK's most comprehensive property website
allowing us to offer Homebase kitchens to people who have just moved house
MailOnline - the UK’s biggest online newspaper
giving us that option to target an estee lauder campaign to users looking for beauty inspiration
Like DAX Podcasts that we launched this year
To build this product, we took our own podcasts, including the Ellis & John Radio X show, our LBC Podcasts & Russell Brand’s Under the Skin
and combined these with other popular shows like No Such Thing as a Fish and City AM Unregulated.
We now run over 50 podcast campaigns a month and in September, launched the UK’s first programmatic podcast campaign
O2 wanted to drive customers into their stores around the country to pick up the new Samsung Galaxy S8
So in order to help the do this
We first put a geo-fence around all of their shops and delivered a campaign to anyone who walked within those areas
By partnering with Mobsta, and tracking device ID’s, we were able to track footfall off the back of an audio campaign for the very first time in the UK!
This summer, Deliveroo ran the worlds first prog dynamic audio campaign across DAX.
By combining multiple variations of day, time, weather, location and even cuisine,
We had up to 50k potential creative executions across the campaign…
Just to be clear, this isn’t about getting into the uncanny valley and calling people by their names. This is simply about serving the most relevant creative possible. The following example had 50k variables and was the first programmatic dynamic audio campaign which varied ad copy based on cuisine, weather, location, date and time.
Deliveroo wanted to shift usage habits from Friday / Saturday night take away to breakfast, lunch and dinner - no matter, the location, weather, day / time.
Using dynamic audio means advertisers can create the most relevant ad, increasing the chances of the message resonating at a fraction of the cost that it would cost to record 50k ads.
The voice artists simply records the key words rather than 50k full versions of the ad.
As you can see from the live delivery report, the dynamic creative (you can see on the right) was served to locations (on the left) where Deliveroo are active, ensuring the right message was delivered to the right person at the right time…
A fantastic example of a digital brand using audio to innovate and deliver their brand message
