An Introduction to Channel Strategy

1. CHANNEL STRATEGY INTRO: Planning for synergy & EFFECTIVENESS.

2. * *UTC time v. International Atomic Time +

3. Droga, who is the most awarded creative at Cannes Lions to date, noted that when he started his career, distribution was built into the idea. You put out an ad on TV and you didn't have to worry about eyeballs. Now, however, the media landscape is fragmented and there are ‘whole industries making technology to avoid the outputs of our industry’. Rather than that being something to lament, however, it’s actually good for advertising – forcing us to think of ways that will genuinely engage communities of people. Facebook: Creativity at Scale (Cannes 2013)

4. 'I don't think anybody in the marketing business owns 360- degree communications planning. I don't think media agencies own it yet. I don't think anybody else owns it either. It'll be different client by client, need by need, and skill-set by skill-set. The 360- degree strategic role could be played by any number of people.' Media agencies Especially when influenced by “what’s in the warehouse.” don’t completely own these ways, yet. “Media is the connective tissue of society.” Clay Shirky ‘Cognitive Surplus’ Now MEC

5. CONTEXT COMMUNICATES. SOMETIMES CHANNELS ARE THE IDEA. A great idea can take an ordinary channel & make it extraordinary. They can tell the story... embody the story... ...become the story.

6. “It is simply not possible to take any advertising idea to a practical stage without making some hypothesis about a suitable medium.” “Inter-media selection is an integral part of the process.” Stephen King, 1974 CHANNEL PLANNING WAS BAKED INTO THE HEART OF THE ORIGINAL PLANNING PROCESSES. BUT IT CAN HAPPEN BEFORE OR AFTER THE BIG IDEA.

7. BASED ON UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE & THEIR (LACK OF A) RELATIONSHIP WITH BRANDS. MOST PEOPLE AREN’T DEVOTED TO BRANDS. FANS MATTER LESS THAN WE’D LIKE TO THINK. BRANDS DON’T GET DISPROPORTIONATE LOYALTY. BE INTERESTING. BE MEMORABLE. SCALE IT. SUSTAIN IT. “INDIFFERENCE DEMANDS THE EXTRAORDINARY”.

8. Martin Weigel paraphasing Ehrenberg, Sharp et al. Jim Carroll, BBH CREATIVITY’S ROLE IS TO CREATE INTERESTING BIG EFFECTS. CHANNEL PLANNING MUST ENSURE ITS IMPACT. “We can talk all we want about the personal, psychological, social and cultural role of brands, but what the data teaches us is that the real audience for our efforts consists of people who don't know our brand very well (or at all), aren't devoted to our brand, or don't purchase it at all. They will have few memories and associations for us to build upon, they aren't very likely to notice our advertising, nor are they likely to think of our brand in buying and consumption situations.” “Surely we can turn apathy, ennui and boredom into a positive force, a force for good. Would not an honest acceptance of the diminished role a brand or category plays in consumers' lives encourage us to think harder about utility, experience and reward?” Source: The liberation of magic: How marketing science opens up creative opportunities.

9. APPROACHES. TRENDS. EFFECTIVENESS v RECEIVED WISDOM. DIGITASLBi STRATEGY ACADEMY CHANNEL STRATEGY INTRO.

11. APPROACHES.ULTIMATELY ABOUT ASKING QUESTIONS: How does our audience engage with media as well as where? Are there behaviours we can be part of positively? Which audience is most available and most effective for our brand?

12. APPROACHES.START WITH THE CONSUMER JOURNEY: BRAND

13. APPROACHES.THEN SELECT CHANNELS, DEFINE ROLES & PRINCIPLES: “What can digital do for the brand & consumers that nothing else can? A connection enabled by technology but underpinned by earning the right to engage people in their space.” Accepts that it begins at a position of disadvantage Is mindful of the human disposition to disregard it Maps to actual, not potential, human behaviours Reaches the majority who make or break a brand Rewards and entertains people to the nth degree Asks and expects as little back from people as possible e.g.DEFINE THE ROLE OF DIGITAL. REALISM SCALE GENEROSITY

14. PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE: See Consumer Journey & Experience Mapping Session CONSUMER JOURNEY“on ramps” & “off ramps” USAGE/ CONDITION CONSUMER DECISION JOURNEY PATH TO PURCHASE TIME OF DAY/WEEK/ SEASON

15. Channel(s) Channel Role(s) Key Justification (Supporting data: Reach & coverage, audience behaviour) Principles (how our creative will work in these channels) Measurement (KPIs & Sources) FOR THE KEY TASKS:

16. SOME TRADITIONAL WAYS TO SELECT POSSIBLE CHANNELS: CHANNEL PROFILING. RECEPTIVITY. CHANNEL NEEDS.

17. CHANNEL PROFILING. EVALUATE THE UTILITY OF CHANNELS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE TASKS. Use experience, secondary sources & heuristics to map channels to tasks based on their capabilities & limitations. PAID. OWNED. EARNED. NAKED & OTHERPROPRIETARY METHODS.

18. PAID A catalyst of original content and audience exposure. OWNED Brand domain platforms for longer and deeper relationships. EARNED A transparent space for conversation, advocacy and word of mouth.

19. Owned, Paid & EarnedOwned, Paid & Earned Media Type Definition Examples Benefits Challenges Owned Channel a brand controls Customer magazine, website, mobile site, blog Control, cost-efficiency, longevity, versatility, niche audiences No guarantees, company communication less trusted, takes time to scale Paid Brand pays to use a channel Display ads, paid search, sponsorship In-demand, immediacy, scale, control Clutter, declining response rates, challenges to credibility Earned Customers become the channel Word of mouth (however carried) Most credible, plays a role in most sales, transparent and enduring No control, can be negative, scale, hard to measure CHANNEL PROFILING

20. CO-OPTED Engagement platforms adopted by brands for their utility & audience. PAID A catalyst of original content and audience exposure. OWNED Brand domain platforms for longer and deeper relationships. EARNED A transparent space for conversation, advocacy and word of mouth. EMBASSIES Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc. OUTPOSTS Forums, Blogs, comments etc. Channel distinctions are not as clear as some agendas suggest.

21. Payment models are less important than peoples’ BEHAVIOUR & knowing the appropriate behaviour in each channel. GOOGLE is what you’re looking for when no one is looking; how to’s and entertainment related searches trend quickly. It is about the language of intent or need. FACEBOOK is a public space; it’s what you want your friends to know about (politics, humor, social causes, cool stuff, charity). It is about sharing and showing who you are. TWITTER is content that you’re proud of; more top-down, since its influences include a culturally savvy audience, celebrities, techies, or perhaps people trying to be funny. It is about showing off and shouting out.

22. NOTICE NOTICE = salience, visibility THINK THINK = rational persuasion FEEL FEEL = emotional involvement DO DO = action NAKED CLASSIFICATION: TASKS & BEHAVIOUR.

24. RECEPTIVITY. Temporal The right time Physical The right place Emotional The right mood In what places, occasions or times would they be more open to ﬁnding out more about your product category? Where and when might people seek the beneﬁt that your product offers?

26. CHANNEL NEEDS. Profiling each channel by the needs of its audience to ensure that your brand behaviour fits the context. Tap into my emotions Help me relax Don’t make me work too hardEntertain me TV Help me make the most of myself Always to hand Keep me on top of my life Help me ﬁt in Bored in Queue Must know me perfectly Smartphone

35. ENHANCED REPETITION NOT JUST ADDING FREQUENCY: Advertising is a weak force, nudging buyers to purchase as part of a repertoire. Continuous need for brand maintence not occasional “Damascene conversions”. But close repetition of similar stimuli in the same media is often excess frequency. VARY MEDIA & CONTEXT. STIMULATE FORWARD ENCODING: An ad in first medium improves performance of ad in second medium by being seen as two novel, separate rather than repetitive exposures. “INVEST IN CREATIVITY OVER THE LONG TERM.” SPACE OUT EXPOSURES. SPACING EFFECT: Longer intervals between exposures result in better learning and up to 20% improvement in memory. Multi-platform enables spreading out.

Martin Weigel Voorveld et al 2010. Long-term memory encoding 30-40% higher with online exposure post TV (Brennan 2011)

36. BUILD SALIENCY INTO THE CAMPAIGN: Salience is the quantity & quality (how fresh & relevant) of brand information in memory. Salience is the “size” of a brand in people’s minds, more influenctial than difference. The bigger the brand, the more likely it will be recalled early & purchased. REFLECT HOW PEOPLE (DON’T) THINK ABOUT BRANDS. WIDER SCOPE FOR MULTIPLE MESSAGES, ASSOCIATIONS & SENSORY IMPACT. COMBINE EMOTIONAL PRIMING FOR LONGER-TERM BRAND BUILDING & RATIONAL MESSAGING FOR SHORT-TERM ACTIVATION. > SYSTEM 1: Quick, Emotional & Instinctive. Longer-term effects. External paced media. TV, VOD, OUTDOOR. SYSTEM 2: Slow, Rational & Effortful. Immediate behaviour effects. Self-paced media. DIGITAL, DIRECT, PRINT.

41. BEFOREPLANNING FOR ENGAGEMENT. THINKCOVERAGE & COMPOSITION. PLAN FOR +1 REACH.

42. COVERAGE & COMPOSITION. COVERAGE. COMPOSITION. Uses basic data on media habits to provide an understanding of the overlap between your target and each channel. Can I reach my target in sufficient numbers? The % of an advertiser’s target that is within the medium’s audience. Can I reach my target efficiently with this channel? The % of a medium’s audience that is within the advertiser’s target.

43. The Lonely Planet website might offer a high composition but a low coverage for an advertiser of holidays for independent travellers. Perhaps 70% of the Lonely Planet website audience will be interested in what the advertiser offers but only 5% of Independent Travellers are regular visitors of the Lonely Planet website. By contrast The Guardian may be able to offer high coverage but with high wastage due to low composition. COVERAGE & COMPOSITION.

Easy, relevant & brand related. A significant number of people will get involved & complete the process/action. Every interaction has a direct business effect on the person interacting. Fewer participants but what they produce or achieve is of greater public interest & spreads. Their participation & interactions have a direct business effect on people exposed to their outputs.

49. IS IT ENOUGH? TO IMPACT: COMMERCIALS? ATTITUDES? BEHAVIOUR?

50. SHARE OF VOICE & LEVEL OF A RESPONSE? When Share of Voice exceeds Share of Market a brand tends to grow The smaller the brand, the greater the “excess” SOV needs to be to succeed Paul Feldwick: “When VW changed its policy from spending below market share to spending above market share it doubled its share of the market in a few years.” Will our channels achieve Equilibrium SOV? Source: Marketing in the Era of Accountability

51. SOV alone is not enough. Using the right creative content as well as SOV is critical to drive returns. ESOV matters. Excess SOV delivers growth. On average, 0.5% share points for 10 point ESOV – but the rule works in reverse also, so beware of disinvestment. Brand size matters. Market leaders drive greater returns from SOV than challengers. Newness delivers higher gains. Launches/younger categories respond at a higher level. Short-termism is dangerous. Correct level of SOV + quality campaign = stronger brand. FIVE POINTS TO REMEMBER: Source: Why Share of Voice Matters 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

52. ESOV THEORY ≠ NEED TO SPEND MORE. Where do your competitors focus their activity? Is there an opportunity to influence the consumer at a different stage?

53. BUT YOU DO NEED TO SPEND ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE THE RIGHT LEVEL OF RESPONSE (& KPIs*). *are they realistic? HARD METRICS. SOFT METRICS. Market Share. BHM Relevance & Consideration. BHM Performance Advantage. BHM Emotional Connection. Increased Purchase Frequency. Increased Spend per Trip. Increased Repeat Purchase. Unique visits. Downloads. Registrations.

59. REAL-TIME PLANNING & BUYING. INSTINCT & AUTOMATION. Responding to culture & consumers looking for “super-fast opportunities to create super-current, super-topical content that millions of people can immediately share”. Real-time bidding (RTB) emerged at the intersection of data liquidity and inventory liquidity. Real-time bidding helps media buyers find audiences at scale. This drives performance ensuring an ad is seen by the audience most likely to respond. FAST PLANNING. DATA PLANNING.
