Marketers Tell Us…

  in less time.

 They lack visibility into marketing activities to ensure alignment with
  organizational objectives and strategies

 They often do not have a way to effectively manage and measure
  marketing spend.

 They lack a central system of record for collaboratively managing
  their portfolio across all channels

 Their processes are neither optimized nor consistent across all

The SAS approach can intelligently store insourced and outsourced model results thereby allowing your team to enhance their own analytical skills and more readily pick and choose agencies and vendors that meet their ever-changing needs. In effect, the solution lowers the switching costs associated with selecting market research providers all the while establishing a path toward developing their own analytical capability.
  • #9 Media consumption is more fragmented than ever. Consumers enjoy media on more devicesand platforms than ever before, often simultaneously.1 According to Forrester, 73% of US adultsmultitask with at least one other medium while watching TV.2 In order to correctly measure theeffectiveness of their marketing efforts, marketers need to understand the interdependence ofold and new media as customers are exposed to multiple messages at the same time.
  • #10 ATL refers back to the balance sheet – Above the Line advertising costs are part of ‘costs of sales’ and are deducted before Gross Profit is determined, non-commission baring advertising is part of the operating expenses and is deducted before Net Profit is determined.ATL marketing makes use of print, broadcast, and outdoor advertising to reach large audiences that strengthen brands and convey general product information or elicit emotional responses from consumers exposed to the advertisementsBTL marketing uses direct mail, insert media, database marketing, interactive marketing, and promotional marketing to create specifically aimed marketing campaigns that offer consumers the ability to easily respond while allowing marketers to track the success of the efforts with little difficulty
  • #11 Create a solar system of owned media. Owned media is a channel you control. There is fully-owned media (like your website) and partially-owned media (like Facebook fan page or Twitter account). Owned media creates brand portability. Now you can extend your brand's presence beyond your web site so that it exists in many places across the web - specifically through social media sites and unique communities. In a recession in which marketing budgets are being cut by 20%, the ability to communicate directly with consumers who want to engage with your brand through long-term relationships can be invaluable.   Recognize that earned media is a result of brand behavior. "Earned media" is an old PR term that essentially meant getting your brand into free media rather than having to pay for it through advertising. However the term has evolved into the transparent and permanent word-of-mouth that is being created through social media. You need to learn how to listen and respond to both the good (positive organic) and bad (spurned) as well as consider when to try and stimulate earned media through word-of-mouth marketing. Your paid media is not dead, but it is evolving into a catalyst. Many people are predicting the end of paid media (aka advertising). However, that prediction may be premature as no other type of media can guarantee the immediacy and scale that paid media can. However, paid media is shifting away from the foundation and evolving into a catalyst that is needed at key periods to drive more engagement
  • #12 TV still has it challenges ahead, but for now, when it comes to reach and impact – it still remains the only game in town
  • #13 The larger the advertising spend, the larger the need for organizations to understand and optimize their advertising spending
  • #16 Marketing-Mix Modeling leverages econometric techniques like regression models to quantify the contribution of each driver to brands KPIThe more dependable variables we can introduce into the model the more likely we are that the model will explain the reality. The model should fit historic data. There are to measures of a model fit R-squard and Estimated Standard Error
  • #20 Thanks to modeling we can calculate Base sales: sales level that is referred to as long run demand level or consumers preferences which would have stayed unchanged in a short term even if brand had stopped all marketing activityIncremental sales: captures additional sales driven by marketing activity.
  • #21 One key advantage is that Econometrics can separate out the brand drivers, quantify their individual effects and arbitrate between them.Making a sales decomposition we can not only calculate incremental sales- i.e how much you would have sold if it haden’t been for the marketing activity in question. It also allowes you to quantify negative impact of some factors. For example we can calculate how much sales was lost due to brand’s price relative to category price or our competitor’s TV activity. It is common practice to measure the sales effect of a piece of direct response activity or promotion (whether online and offline) by counting the number of people who responded to it, and then counting how many of them went on to buy the product. However, this calculation assumes that all of those sales were incremental sales generated by the direct response activity. In fact, some of those people would probably have bought the product anyway, even if they hadn’t been exposed to the activity. This is were econometrics can also helpBecause you can quantify the effect of an individual activity you can calculate What’s the return on investment (ROMI) on our marketing activities Marketing effectivenessisoftenassesed in terms of incrementalrevenuegeneratedratherthanprofit.Usuallybecause data to calculate profit is not availableTo calculate profit youneed to calculateIncrementalsalesrevenue to manufacturer ( need to knowwhatis the retailergrossmargin) – most agencieswork with data sourcesthatmeasuresales data attheirretailpriceIncrementalvariablecostsMarginalcontribution from incrementalsalesNet profit = marginalcontribution from incrementalsales –cost of the campaign
  • #24 There are three ways that SAS has seen optimization benefit organizations. 1) Financial:Depending upon the client and industry, customers have used optimization to increase their incremental profits and revenues derived from marketing initiativesCustomers have also looked at how to best drive balance growth and incremental funds managed that are driven off of marketing activities. Finally, every marketer is concerned with being more efficient and marketing return on investment is one of the key measures marketers use to business case this type of solution to improve their overall returns. CUSTOMER EXAMPLES: Reduced Marketing Spend by 2% due to optimizations found (International B2B/B2C Company – Office Depot)Using the combination of MMX & MO, ROI- MMX/MO vs. BAU yielded an ~$9,000,000 increased revenue for each of the 6 products. (Qwest)13.7 million saved by reducing ineffective marketing, “Halo” marketing effects were uncovered from premium car brand, experienced lift in sales due to changes in marketing plan (they exceeded their forecast of selling over 1 million sedans by year end) (International Automotive Company)Using the solution, MMX forecasts showed that response would be down 5 to 10% for the first quarter of this year, given the planned marketing spend/activity. As the solution was so new, the company decided to go with their in-house forecasts. As the results came in for the first quarter, it became apparent that the SAS advanced forecasting based on marketing input was right on target and they did realize a reduction in response of 10%. Had they accepted the SAS forecasts, they might have been able to increase marketing activity to off-set the reduction in response.2) Strategic: In addition to the financial benefits, there are overarching strategic benefits of such a solution. This tool helps you justify budget increases (and where to put the incremental dollars for the best pay back), and in the inevitable cases where budgets are cut. It helps you determine WHERE to cut and how to make the impact of that cut have less of a negative impact on your business. Optimization also helps ensure you get to market quicker and align your budget against those areas that make sense to the goals of the bank and your key areas of growth opportunity. CUSTOMER EXAMPLES: Optimizing constrained channel resources while satisfying budget requirements, increased Marketing Program ROI by 50% (North American Bank: Scotiabank)SAS helped Wachovia to realize that they could increase spend on on-line advertising, and decrease spend in traditional advertising categories (radio and television) while retaining existing customers and attracting new ones. “We want to better understand whether our marketing dollars are being used effectively, and SAS helps us do that.” - SVP Marketing (North American Bank: Wachovia) 3) Organizational:Lastly, and while you might not see this on a business case template, it is very much a benefit for customers who we’ve seen implement optimization solutions. It helps neutralize the business and provide key facts that help facilitate conversations between lines of business regarding where to invest marketing dollars for the good of the retail bank overall. Because if you’re like most resort/destination companies, the marketing budget is held centrally and each line of business gets a piece. The question is who gets what piece and does it pay? This helps you answer that and play the corporate steward who allocates budget on behalf of the entire bank. CUSTOMER EXAMPLE: Cultural change led by analytical approach to Marketing Budget Optimization – they had to learn to balance Customer Acquisition goals with Customer Equity goals (North American Bank – Wachovia)
