Affinities and Ad Targeting:
How Real Time Social Data Increased Socialtyze’s
Ad Efficiency By 16%
Agenda
The Experiment
Methodology
Measuring Effectiveness
The Next Step
The Experiment
Step 1
Since March 2014 Socialtyze has been testing keywords derived from
Crimson Hexagon social listening technology to help improve our
social media buying. The primary purpose was to discover a more
efficient way to buy fans for a brand’s Facebook page.
Step 3
Our test was created in conjunction with a major movie studio and six
nationally released feature films
Step 2
The result was over 2.4MM in spend and 10MM+ clicks in sum
creating our total sample.
STRATEGY
The Experiment
What is Affinities™
?
STRATEGY
The Affinities visualization shows “bubbles”
of various sizes representing each of the top
100 interests in your monitor. The size of each
bubble is proportional to the percent of posts
in your monitor that come from people with
that interest. The bubble’s horizontal position
shows the degree to which people with that
interest are more or less likely to post about
the topic you are monitoring.
This is the interest’s “affinity”. Interests on
the left have higher affinities, and interests
on the right have lower affinities. The vertical
position of the bubbles is arbitrary, and
used simply to prevent the bubbles from
overlapping.
The Methodology
The Discovery Process
STRATEGY
We created a buzz monitor to discover who
was talking about the film before it opened.
Those queries were designed to engineer
out noise from reviews and publishers, so
the results would only represent true fans.
Using Crimson Hexagon’s Affinities™
feature, we generated a list that represents
the interests of the movie’s fans. Affinities
is designed to help identify what is unique
about the people participating in the
conversation we’ve captured with our
monitor. It does this by illustrating how
people with certain interests are more or
less likely to have posted about the topic
you are monitoring relative to Twitter overall.
For example, social users involved in this
conversation were 18 times more interested
in the X Factor compared to the average
Twitter user.
Our analysts will review the results and
recommend a series of keywords based
on the volume of discussion and the
relevance to the audience.
Our media buyers create ads targeted at
those keywords and interests. After initial
testing we’ll optimize towards top performers.
STRATEGY
Executing On Our Discovery
Measuring Effectiveness
The keywords derived from the Affinity technology performed
16% better than the campaign averages for CTR.
Of the 12 keywords categories tested in this experiment Crimson was the
2nd best performer in CTR. Crimson Hexagon’s suggestions outperformed
other keyword categories like movie stars and fans of competitive movies. For
example, a keyword derived from Crimson Hexagon’s Affinities visualization,
such as the X Factor, was a more targeted keyword than another category, like a
competitive movie title.
Impressively, Crimson Hexagon’s recommendations
beat Facebook’s own data tool - Audience Insights - by 31% for CTR.
The Results
The affinity recommendations were often counter
intuitive, like when a slapstick comedy was being
released nationally and we insisted that targeting
indie bands were the best way to find new fans.
At first the studio was resistant to implementing.
However, result was a 32% improvement over the
campaign average for CTR in keyword categories
and a converted client.
A Real Life Example
The Next Step
Gaming and mobile app
user acquisition. Affinities allow
for a gaming company to
discover what their users are
interested in, and target their
ads with greater precision.
Twitter allows for advertisers
to directly target ads to a list of
handles. With Crimson’s bulk
export, Socialtyze can create a list
of people who shown intent in a
product and send ads directly to
those users.
