MEASUREMENT Simulmedia announced new capabilities for its D2Cx.com beta. “When we launched D2Cx.com in beta back in October 2018, we designed it to help TV advertisers get on the air quickly and affordably, learn what combination of networks, dayparts and programs produce the optimal mix for customer acquisition, and scale accordingly,” said Simulmedia CEO and founder Dave Morgan. “We’ve improved on this foundation with new features that advance the cause of democratizing access to TV advertising, inviting more direct-to-consumer (D2C) marketers onto TV at lower costs, while improving usability and speed.” Among the changes: Campaign minimums have been removed; new, near real-time measurement and attribution tools; new, automated creative diagnostic tools; new, automated bid management tools, and a redesigned D2Cx.com application interface. The IAB released its first Data-Driven Video Best Practice Guide, a resource to educate the marketplace on what is possible, benefits of a data-driven video strategy, key considerations, potential challenges, and more. When it comes to measurement, the guide advises: Go beyond the click: Traditional KPIs like video completion rate and clicks should be balanced against more accurate determinations of success, like conversions for performance-based campaigns, and time-spent, for branding and awareness campaigns. Establish benchmarks: Marketers can create benchmarks by conducting A/B testing. For example, run a generic version of the video first to establish benchmark for drop off and conversion rates. Then run the optimized video to understand how it performs against the benchmark. Test and iterate: Check campaign performance on a weekly or bi-weekly basis and adjust your strategy based on performance. Nielsen’s Digital Ad Ratings capabilities will expand on YouTube’s mobile app to 26 new markets, including Hong Kong, India, Greece, Spain, Israel and Puerto Rico. Marketers had been able to measure YouTube audiences on web browsers globally, but not the mobile app everywhere. “Providing marketers with independent measurement of YouTube’s mobile audiences globally is a major step forward for the industry,” said Amanda Tarpey, SVP of Digital Product Leadership. “With the expansion of Digital Ad Ratings to measure audiences inclusive of YouTube’s sizeable mobile footprint, advertisers in more than 30 markets will have the comparability, coverage and transparency they need to maximize the impact of their digital media around the world.” |

FAANG Facebook’s Research app collected personal data from 187,000 users before it was yanked, the company revealed in a letter to Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s office that was obtained by TechCrunch. Those users included 31,000 in the US – including 4300 teens - and the rest were from India. The app, launched in 2016, had been banned by Apple. Among the announcements at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference on Monday: AppleTV will be compatible with Xbox One and Playstation Dualshock controllers, so they can be used with Apple’s upcoming gaming service; users in a family will each be able to have their own profile on AppleTV for recommendations; iTunes is being replaced after 18 years by three separate apps, Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Podcasts; iPhones, iPads and the iPod touch will have an optional dark mode in iOS 13; a new login platform, Sign in with Apple, will allow users to log in to outside apps with FaceID; and the Mac Pro desktop is returning to its traditional tower shape. Amazon is planning to make Alexa easier to talk to. At its re:Mars conference, the company said it has a new dialogue system that can predict next actions for more fluid conversations (and not so much saying “Alexa”). “We have advanced our machine learning capabilities such that Alexa can predict customer’s true goal from the direction of the dialogue, and proactively enable the conversation flow across skills,” said Amazon. Amazon Spark, an Instagram-ish service launched in 2017 offering Prime customers a chance to post pictures of products they bought, has been shuttered. The URL now redirects to a new site, #FoundItOnAmazon, which, according to TechCrunch, will blend what works on Spark and Amazon’s Interesting Finds to create a new discovery tool. Netflix joins EA, Xbox, Sony Entertainment and Spotify as one of the services most likely to be hacked, according to a survey by cybersecurity company Dynarisk. Data is shared in dark web and hacker communities and often combined with other information for identity theft. “Unfortunately, the ugly truth is that the more prolific a brand, the more attractive it is to cyber criminals,” said DynaRisk in a press release. Google announced its plan to acquire business intelligence platform Looker for $2.6 billion. The deal, expected to close later this year, will see the company’s technology integrate as a service into the Google Cloud platform and potentially attract new customers such as Amazon, FOX, Cisco and Venmo. In other Google news, the company’s upcoming cloud gaming service, Stadia, will launch in November and be priced at $9.99 per month. It works on TVs connected to a Chromecast streaming device, as well as via laptops, desktops, Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a, and does not require a video game console. Dubbed Stadia Pro, the service will provide free access to games such as Destiny 2, along with discounts on game purchases. |
