- “Jumping right in …”
- “Jumping right in …”
- This is the classic “Mary Meeker Mobile Slide” – illustrates the explosive growth of mobile device use across the globe.- There are 10B+ mobile devices world-wide today, most of these are used by humans Actual mobile device growth has significantly exceeded the projections of most industry analysts, even those made in the past 6-12 monthsThere are over 6K different mobile device types – hence massive fragmentation in terms of capabilities, lack of standardization that has now been achieved on the desktop and with browsers.- This lack of standardization has a massive impact on mobile media marketing and media buying todaySmart phone growth is exploding though at different rates in different parts of the world and there will be 1B+ smart phone users by 2013Smart phone ubiquity will eliminate much of the arcane complexities of mobile marketing and media buying that exist todayIdentifying and dealing with the mobile-specific elements of mobile marketing and media buying is the primary objective of today’s presentation
- Mobile is not a fad, it’s a mega-trend.Mobile is not a device, it’s the connective tissue of new emerging geo-social fabric.The pace of mobilization is accelerating beyond almost all predictionsMore people in the world own cell phones than have access to a toilet !Source: http://water.org/learn-about-the-water-crisis/facts/
- Mobilization represents perhaps the most massive migration of human awareness and consumer “eyeballs” in history.Predictably, “money follows consumer attention” and global mobile advertising spending is exploding.Global mobile advertising budgets in 2015 are predicted to be $10B, I wouldn’t be surprised if this consensus estimate turns out to be conservative.
- Advertisers are going mobile for a variety of reasons.Advertiser FUD (Fear/Uncertainty/Doubt) is slowing down the overall pace of mobile onboarding.80%+ of major online advertisers do not have a mobile website. Source: Google Research 2010Lead generation is the top advertiser mobile campaign goal, beating out brand campaigns.-> Mobile lead generation represents billions of dollars in advertising spend over the next few years.
- The main body of the presentation will cover:Offer Sourcing and SelectionTraffic Sourcing and Audience TargetingCampaign DesignCampaign Deployment
- As you all know, the art of marketing brings the Offer to the target Audience with an Angle that engages the consumer and inspires engagement and action.
- In order to structure the information in this presentation, I want to use a basic model that breaks down campaign optimization into four phases:Offer sourcing and selectionTraffic sourcing and audience targetingCampaign designCampaign deployment (iterative process!)All the fundamentals of online performance marketing apply to mobile display campaign optimization.

- Mobile marketing enables new capabilities and technologies but also comes with important limitations and introduces new complexities.The heart of this presentation will focus on these new capabilities, limitations and complexities – how to take advantage of the capabilities and deal with the limitations and complexities.

- Post-click Campaign Action MixOther = includes PIN submit, click to iTunes
- Short messages are used to provide premium rate services to subscribers of a telephone network-one of the first types of mobile content, before apps & mobile web became big-the first big money maker in mobile advertising-still around today as strong as ever despite tough regulations
- 2-field example vs. many-field exampleShort form 3 or 4 fields unless you make it fun (try to figure out how to make those fields worth more) services that will validate e-mails, gather information around the leads that you’ve received so you weed out the crappy ones and don’t waste advertisers time and money, and get higher CPA for good ones.
- Click to Call-Click to call wary on display as you get the “Oh Crap” factor dubbed as people not realizing their phone is going to ring. (sitting in a meeting under the desk and then whammo), taxi service searchBetter off giving more info to your user and allowing them to callAnother approach is to have the user enter in their number and call backBenefits are: ability to pre-qualify, collect information to re-engage, avoid the “Oh Crap” factorSplit test

- April InsightsTargeted-Audience campaigns (Local Market Audience,Demographic Audience, Behavioral Audience andAudience Takeover) represented 42% of the CampaignTargeting Mix in May (Chart A).Campaigns leveraging Broad Reach targeting methods(Run of Network, Custom Subnet and Channel)accounted for 58% of the Campaign Targeting Mix (ChartA). Brands across multiple verticals, including Telecom,Digital Music & Gaming and Dating leveraged BroadReach Targeting methods during May to increaseawareness of their services and try to generate new leads.Behavioral Audience as a targeting method grew 20%month-over-month and represented 12% of the TargetedAudience Mix in May (Chart B). Retail and Pharmaceuticaladvertisers targeted Moms with a variety of productmessages since they make purchases for the entirehousehold. Travel and Telecom advertisers targeted theBusiness Traveler segment with products and services to make life on the road more convenient.
- What are the issues with location targeting in mobile ???How can I target certain demographics?Targeting certain demographics with mobile traffic can be quite tricky. Some traffic sources do offer demographic targeting, but as soon as it is applied, click costs can skyrocket by more than 100%. What we recommend you do to target demographics is to target certain devices. Different combinations of creatives in combination with handset and carrier targeting can achieve your desired demographic targeting.Should I target WiFitraffic?You can usually buy WiFi traffic at just pennies per click, but there is a reason for that. With all of the testing we have done, conversions are usually less abundant with WiFi due to the fact that users are usually a youth audience on devices that do not have mobile phone capabilities (for example, tablets or iPod touch). We typically recommend turning it off.
- Mobile behavioral/demo targeting is currently behind the curve compared to webHowever, the many different targeting parameters provide a foundation to quickly zero in on the desired userCombination of all types of targeting will essentially give you behavioral targetingThis knowledge may be transferable to other offers, traffic sources, etc.
- Things to consider:-Pre-paid vs contract-Top Tier (Verizon) vs Low Tier (Nextel)-Types of handsets (AT&T & Tmobile with iPhone)-Carriers that target race/gender/socio economic statusCase Study: LG Chocolate / Virgin Wireless vs. Blackberry Curve (teeny-bopper vs. business man)

- Site/Publisher & Channel TargetingThey don’t tell you that you can target or filter site id’s(Need a rep or client services to do this, need to ask for this, can’t always manually do it)Channel targeting: bundles sites and publishers together into categories/channels/demographic clusterYou can do this from the front end – this is the default offering, deemed sufficient for the massesMost traffic sources support site targeting: Admob, JumpTap, Adfonic …

- Mobile display marketing requires a structured and analytic approachTrackMobile display marketing is probably the hardest type of media buying out there can’t stress enough how important it is to TRACK everything so many variables in targetting (OS, carrier, device model, country, placement, etc) so, for example, how do you target a new mother in the United States? Make relationships some places you can target these and you can break them out by adding parameters to your linkAnalyticsInvest in useragent analytics that track back to conversionsSegway at the end of the day it’s still media buying and CTR and creative play a huge part

- Excel pivot tables !!!
- In this example we go through a real world case of optimizing a campaign using advanced techniques that are unique to the mobile affiliate marketing space. These screenshots are based on a ringtone campaign from a media buyer using a Neveblue Mobile offer on a campaign set up in the mobile ad network Admob. Screen 1Viewing a simple report you can see that the affiliate generated $2,236.30 over the selected time per
- Screen 2Although the bad news is he spent $3,696.16 on Admob buying the traffic for that campaign. A sizeable loss, it would appear – However, with the depth of data involved in mobile campaign this affiliate can now use these learnings/data, to identify profitable areas of this campaign, even though overall it appears to be a losing one.
- Screen 3In neverblue mobile advanced reporting you can see in-depth details on every click and conversion across many mobile-specific metrics. Such as: device/handset, operating system, carrier, and even as detailed as the mobile screen resolution that the offer page was rendered on. In this example we will be optimizing based on what devices the end user was using.
- Screen 4 – Screen 5Here you see a long list of every device, how many conversions happened on each and the device’s effective EPC – As you can see there is a significant range of EPCs over different devices. Some are $0.05 while others over $1.00. By identifying all the good devices on this results table you can select all the devices that are consistently producing EPC’s over, say, $0.50, copy the names, then go back to you campaign set up where you were buying you traffic and target only these devices.
- Screen 4 – Screen 5Here you see a long list of every device, how many conversions happened on each and the device’s effective EPC – As you can see there is a significant range of EPCs over different devices. Some are $0.05 while others over $1.00. By identifying all the good devices on this results table you can select all the devices that are consistently producing EPC’s over, say, $0.50, copy the names, then go back to you campaign set up where you were buying you traffic and target only these devices.
- Screen 6Here is Admob’s campaign set up screen where you can drill you campaign targeting down to specific handsets. Remember that your ads are now only showing on devices that have produced high EPCs for this offer, so it’s a good idea to also go raise up your bids to get more volume on your ads. After running this “optimized” campaign for a few days, let’s take a look at the performance back in Neverblue reporting.
- Screen 7Now we are only targeting devices that have been proven to work for this particular offer. As you can see there are dozens of devices (in the viewable area) with exceptionally high EPCs. You can see here (bottom-most row) that the LG P-509 generating 56 leads on only 466 clicks for a EPC of $1.14! Definitely a winner! Not bad considering average CPC on mobile are around $0.10 - $0.15.And this is only an example of optimizing based on 1 criteria (device), you will notice similar ranges of performance based on platform/OS, carrier, and Site or Publisher IDs, all of which allow you to target and optimize even further for hyper profitable mobile campaigns.
