Reaching the Active Consumer through Experiential Online Media The one-dimensional, non-interactive methods of television, radio, and print advertisements are prosaic approaches that do not inspire interaction, and thereby engagement, with your brand. This presentation will show how leading brands can connect with consumers online through social media, video, low cost incentive programs and messaging that resonates with their lifestyle. * Alan Cole, Vice President, Active Network, Inc.

Editor's Notes
- http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/26293.asp Since behaviors change often over time, whereas attitudes remain relatively consistent, behavioral targeting can be limiting Attitudinal targeting leverages well-established research techniques to combine survey research with conventional targeting characteristics Brands should have the ability to more precisely identify and reach audiences based on their attitudes, values, and beliefs
- Behavioral targeting is a technique used by online publishers and advertisers to increase the effectiveness of their campaigns. Uses information collected on an individual's web-browsing behavior to select which advertisements to display to that individual. Delivers their online advertisements to the users who are most likely to be interested. Supported in conjunction with targeting based on factors like geography, demographics or the surrounding content. SEMANTIC TARGETING "Local business owner donates SUV to orphanage" and "Runaway SUV plows into festive crowd--18 dead." The bottom line for an automotive advertiser looking to pitch their new SUV offering is: which article would you want your ad associated with?
- The study, which looked at ads run on member networks during 2009, showed that among users who clicked on a behaviorally targeted ad, 6.8% converted. That compared with only 2.8% of those who clicked on a run-of-network ad. Clickers found behavioral ads more relevant, but the NAI did not study how likely they were to click in the first place, a key component of effectiveness. CPM rates were likewise significantly higher for behaviorally targeted ads, with the average price of a behaviorally targeted ad 2.68 times greater than that of a run-of-network ad. Retargeting also provided higher CPMs. http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1007599 The message of the article is that behavioral targeting is about twice as effective as non-behavioral targeting, and costs about twice as much. If that’s true, then a marker might correctly ask why they should bother with behavioral targeting. Just buy twice as much non-targeted for the same price, and get the same result. But the real problem is that the conclusion doesn’t seem supported by the data. There’s something missing here. The first oddity of this study is that the conversion rates are the conversion rates of those who clicked on the ads, not the people that saw the ads. There is no indication of the actual click-through rate, and so there is no data about the conversion rate from impressions. That might be okay if these are exclusively CPC campaigns, but the next table compares the CPM’s of targeted vs. non-targeted campaigns.  At this point you really can’t draw any relationship between a CPM and a rate of conversions of clickers. There may be more data behind the study, but without the missing data you can’t draw any conclusions here.
- Typically, Experiential is a word that defines “offline” versus “online” marketing and media. However, the trend towards experiential is growing and as major media companies experiment and invest in experiences, online marketers should watch, learn and adapt accordingly. Aegis Media last week that they will unveil Team Epic, a new event and experiential marketing agency combining its Velocity Sports & Entertainment and Vivid Marketing units, and integrating them with the digital media operations of Isobar and the research, tracking and evaluation capabilities of research consultancy Sponsorship Research International (SRi). Longer term, Team Epic plans to integrate with other elements of Aegis Media, including out-of-home specialist Posterscope. http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=129565
- Travel industry has first identified Experiential Online Media as a driver for connecting with potential travelers. In this era where most travel planning is done online and social media is all the hype, online experiential marketing is a great way to create emotional connections with target guests and stay ahead of the competition. This live webinar presented by HOTELS' Magazine and sponsored by VFM Leonardo is the second of a three-part series, designed specifically for hoteliers looking for new ways to connect with guests online.
- When [a woman] becomes a mom, all her media usage goes down except for the Internet. Her engagement in the Internet actually goes up, and her reason for using the Web changes. Now, she’s focused on information gathering because she is in a new role and has to figure many things out. So she’s typing search strings into Google such as “104 fever midnight.” When she becomes a mom, she makes new “mommy” friends because her next-door neighbor, her sister, her mother and her coworker aren’t necessarily pregnant with a three-year-old in the house. But in a mom social network like BabyCenter or others, she can get some really good advice and practical tips from people who understand and have empathy for her. Some 71% of BabyCenter moms say there’s info they would put on BabyCenter that they would never share on Facebook. Some 78% of BabyCenter moms have said that they are willing to listen to marketers who join the conversation in a respectful way, whether it’s giving moms additional support or giving them coupons. Advice is not the only thing that gets shared in social networks. One of the big things that moms share with each other is coupons and deals. Marketers have an opportunity to create these sort of viral moments with these small and focused groups that will then be passed on and have a multiplier effect. Diapers.com does a great job. If they know how old your kid is, they know that your diaper sizes are going to change. They remind you and make recommendations. They don’t tell you to buy newborn diapers a year after you bought them—they tell you to buy diapers for the average size of a one-year-old.
- Serendipity is a propensity for making fortuitous discoveries while looking for something unrelated. Two serendipitous emails that spoke directly to MY EXPERIENCE and IMMEDIATE NEEDS as a mom. Within three days of each other.

- As a publisher, we constantly look for ways to provide better results to our advertisers. We know our consumer is “active” but, its not enough to target them by interest, geography, or gender. Behavioral targeting or retargeting works, BUT, targeting them along a timeline is THE MOST EFFECTIVE way for our advertisers to see results.
