between the dawn of civilization through 2003 but that much
information is now created every 2 days, and the pace is increasing.”
- Eric Schmidt, CEO, Google
182 billion e-mail messages
are sent each day
29.8 billion ads served by
Google each day
70 billion pieces of content
shared on
Facebook every
month
400,000 bid requests per
second processed
on the AppNexus
ad platform
Merkle manages over
3 peta-bytes of marketing data,
increasing by approximately
10TB/month”

Some Search Marketing Ads still
Struggle in Medical Legal Review
• Broad Match (Branded) – Many PharmaCo’s still fail to approve SEM submissions beyond Exact Match
• Unbranded Ads – Cannot use co‐morbid or off‐label indications to target keywords
• Patient Common Terms for Symptom Key Words – Approvable but still must be qualified and on label
• Unbranded URL’s within unbranded ads – Approvable but the url cannot include any product representation
• Branded Ads on Competitive Brand Name – No MLR barrier but requires an alignment with Commercial Team
19
Industry Example
Landing Page Best Practices
20
Clicking Here Lands Here
Landing pages should contain:
• Strong CTAs
• Content Highlighting Special Offers
Landing pages should not:
• Differ within an ad group
Industry Example
Ad Copy Best Practices
21
• Ad text should include copy related to
the user’s Search Query
• Utilize multiple variations of ad copy
– Brand awareness (with full
generic name)
– Highlight Special Offers – Pay no
more than $25
– Non brand description with non
brand destination URL
– Call to action to learn more
• Rotate ad copy throughout
campaign based on keyword sets to
determine highest producing click-
through and conversion rates.
The Big Trends – Where This Is All
Heading
Digital media
convergence –
digital media has
taken on forms in
custom content,
video, social, and
mobile , search
Known individual
level targeting
reaches massive
scale as the core of
the strategy
Mass adoption of
social log-in will reach
huge scale and open
massive addressability
opportunities
Cross device
targeting
maturity will
accelerate –
Google and
Twitter to lead
the way (Apple,
smart TV)
1st party audience expansion and extension
creates massive addressable scale opportunity
Commerce - Data driven inventory will expand dramtically
as large commerce expand business model to monetize first
party data assets – eBay, Amazon
Publisher - Google and Facebook off platform extension -
stack integration will create massive addressable audience
scale (Atlas and DART acquisitions used to drive ubiquity
and integration of advertiser, social, and paid media
targeting and reach
Advertisers will have to deal
with complexity of the closed
media platforms as large
players such as Google and
Facebook create “walled data
gardens” through their stack
acquisitions
Search will be
the next big
addressable
platform
Programmatic
media buying
explodes
Unique content
will drive growth
of video-on-
demand which
opens yet another
big addressable
platform at scale
(Netflix – Orange is
the New Black)
The info-mediary
starts to take shape
- Consumer influence
into their own
experience – the
value exchange
22
Some of these platforms are creating addressability
beyond the domain of their own native platforms
This has not happened yet, but the connections can
be made at scale
As endemic health buys fall out of acceptable ROI targets, updating media plans to reflect more efficient, targeted media through audience buying is essential.

Some of these platforms are creating addressability

The Platform Marketer
knows he/she must
maximize his addressable
market through high
coverage of consumer
identifiers and knowledge in
the database
This requires mastery
of consumer
addressability in the
database and
constant collaboration
and leadership with
technology
It also requires deep consumer
insight and experience skills to design
and implement the experiential “value
exchange” that incents consumers to
provide data (e.g. why should one
identify on a site with one’s facebook
log-in?)
Platform marketers bring addressable data skills that
facilitate the exchange of identity and data for
personalization and relevance.

Digital Media 10 Years Ago
Buying is relationship based with targeting and optimization done at a very coarse level.
“Transparency line” ends at the network and publisher level – what falls below the line is “black box” .
Buying is done across numerous platforms without the ability to manage frequency and cost resulting in significant waste .
Just as bad (or worse), targeting capability does not allow for targeting the right individuals.

Digital Media Today – Challenges

Buying is done using a data-driven targeting skill-set and mind-set.
Consolidated buying platforms allow for complete transparency and granular targeting – no more black box.
Real-time-bid environment allows for access to premium and remnant inventory that gets bid on auction-style based on the value to the advertiser.
Direct buys and paid social leverage data and technology to cross multiple channels while remaining customer-centric.

Market Forces Require A Different Type of Analyst
• “Marketers must be able to keep pace with their customers and react to changes in customer behavior instantly” Forrester
• Batch analytics is no longer sufficient
• More ads are targetable at a user level than ever before through, display, social, video, and mobile.
• 1/3 of US online adults are always addressable through digital media Forrester
• Yet, advanced user-level attribution is not widely adopted, most emails are batch, and organizations are not unlocking the value of user-level ad and site targeting.
Analytic methods and tools need a big data
reboot
Analytics is not matching up to real-
time marketing
Data scientists are critical to drive digital and offline data
integration
Analytics is a constraint as media becomes more
targetable
• “The data science toolkit is more varied and more technically sophisticated than the BI toolkit” Green plum
• “There is a shortage of talent necessary for organizations to take advantage of big data.” McKinsey
• Analysts must help marketers and technologists figure out what data is valuable and how it should be integrated
• Managing and integrating data from a variety of sources is the top challenge preventing organizations from making use of customer analytics. Forrester Customer Analytics as a
Marketing Competitive Advantage

How A Website Works
51
HTTP
• HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) – Protocol for requesting and responding to requests for web pages (hypertext)
• Request/Response – Methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE,...) – Response codes
• Stateless protocol
• Request line, Response status line, Header, Body info – Host, User Agent, Referrer, Cookies
HTTP Request (from client) GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.linkedin.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:21.0)

How Web Data Capture Generally Works
Typical site visitor
1
• IP address:
192.168.2.49
Looking for ways to donate food in her community. Does search on local food banks and clicks on paid search ad for
Feeding America
2 Lands on food bank search page
1 GA sees that browser coming Google.com paid seach has no cookie, drops 1st party cookie on browser, and counts browser as a new site visitor
Google Analytics is web analytics tool for Feeding America (Javascript on all pages)
2 GA records all actions taken by user on site in Google collection server. Java script instructs what data to send.
3
• Cookie ID: 43Jx41LKs980s
• IP address: 192.168.2.49
When she leaves the site the session is marked as complete and session metrics such as time on site, etc. are calculated
3 Next time she comes to the site GA recognizes the browser based on cookie ID
53
A Data Flow View of Data Capture
Web Browser
Feeding America Web Server
Firefox
Google Analytics Collection Server
1
Web server notifies Google analytics collection server of request
2
3 Collection server looks to see if user has a cookie and drops cookie if no cookie exists
Collection server captures behavior on site per pre-configured collection rules
4 Web browser requests content from Feeding America
Note: Pages load for user regardless if collection server can complete their actions. If user leaves page before collection script completely loads then no data capture will happen.
54
What Data Is Passed To The Collection Server?
• Cookie ID (Assuming browser accepts cookies) • IP + user agent data
• Contextual information (Where you are) • http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/ • Note: this data is sometimes masked on third party sites
• Referrer (where did you come from) • Behavioral (What you did)
• Basic—clicked on ad (Beacons) • Extensive – watched 1/3 of video (Javascript)
Source: http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com
55
Cookie Background
What is a cookie?
• Small snippets of plain text containing a key, value pair, and saved within the browser, that are used to maintain state throughout your visit to a website (HTTP is a stateless protocol)
• Cookies can only be read and written by the domain to which they belong (i.e. cross-domain cookie access is not allowed by your web browser)
There are two flavors of cookies important to this discussion
• First-party cookies – Belong to the same domain as the requested web page (Example: NIKE assigning a cookie to browser of NIKE.com)
• Third-party cookies – Belong to domains other than the domain of the requested web page. These are read and written by separate third-party HTTP requests on the web page, commonly for advertising and tracking purposes, but also for providing 3rd party content. (Example: Google assigning a cookie to a browser on NIKE.com )
56
IP Addresses
• IP Address (Internet Protocol Address) – A unique address for finding any machine connected to the Internet. This is how client requests and server responses are sent by routers to the correct location over the Internet.
• IPv4 address – 32 bits => 232 = 4,294,967,296 unique addresses
• IPv6 address – 128 bits => 2128 = 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 unique addresses
– Went live 6/6/2012, there will be several years of transition – Every machine will be able to have a unique public IP address in the future – http://www.pcworld.com/article/257037/ipv6_five_things_you_should_know.html
• Static vs. Dynamic IP addresses – There are a limited number of IPv4 addresses which can be assigned by ISPs to machines that connect to the Internet – Most home IP addresses are dynamic and are periodically reassigned (usually assigned at the home router level, and the router
tracks your machines on the internal home network using separate private IP addresses)
• Composition of IP addresses – Generally, the part on the left corresponds to the network, and the part on the right corresponds to the specific machine – Allocated in hierarchies of blocks that read from general to specific, left to right – There is no set of rules or patterns to read these blocks (like there is with a zip code for example), instead there are databases
maintained for looking up IP allocations – GeoIP lookup databases are maintained by various services for identifying geo location by IP address.
57
Death of The Cookie?
• This is really a conversation about 3rd party cookies, not first party
• In general, third party cookies have a shorter shelf life than first party cookies
• Recent studies suggest that about 40% of devices don’t accept third party cookies. Upwards of 60% of cookies may be deleted within 30 days (including mobile devices)
• Third party cookies are most often not deleted by user, but by spyware or antivirus software
58
What About Cookie Tracking on Mobile
Devices?
• Third party cookies have limited tracking usage for mobile devices
– Most mobile devices don’t accept cookies by default
– Concern as well that long term viability of these cookies may be in question for PCs
• In April 2013 Apple exposed a new device ID for tracking at user level (IDFA) within IOS6. Users can opt out of tracking.
• Vendors are emerging that are creating persistent device IDs for targeting and attribution
• Vendors are emerging that are creating persistent device IDs for targeting and attribution
– Vendors include Ad Truth, BlueCava, Tapad and others
– ID persistence length varies by device
– Vendors use combination of deterministic and probabilistic ids
– 80%+ mobile device coverage/accuracy is possible today
• Many ID tracking can be used in conjunction with ad privacy compliance solutions (ex. TRUSTe)
59
What About IP Addresses?
• It is harder to find published data IP uniqueness.
• Most of what I have learned has come from confidential communications with IP data providers and demand side platform vendors (DSPs)
• About
• 85-90% of US IP addresses can be accurately tracked back to a DMA
• 60% of devices with an IP address can be traced back to a known SCF and about 45% to the zip level
• 25 to 35% of IPs can be reliably tracked back to a residence over at least one month’s time
• This is likely to get worse before it gets better as we are “running out of IPv4 addresses”
60
Device Fingerprinting
• Device fingerprinting is emerging as one way to resolve third party cookie deletion issue
• Originated out of fraud detection and has migrated to marketing
• We estimate that many fingerprint technologies are more than 90% accurate. Click here https://panopticlick.eff.org/
• Biggest issue is privacy and adoption to date is still relatively low
• Companies such as Bluecava, and Iovation specialize in this area
61
Our Observations About Digital Data
Landscape
• First-party customer data generally has the highest marketing value
– There are many opportunities for companies to collect first-party digital data across digital medias and
channels
– Most companies do not a cohesive plan for utilizing first party digital data
• Third-party digital data is still in its infancy resulting in opportunity and risk
– Shirting legal environment has huge implications for using third party data (Ex. Internet Explorer Do
not Track). Legal should be involved in strategy development
– Difficult to determine the quality and integrity of digital data providers
– Audience scaling is still a big challenge
– Quantitative approach is necessary to locate and extract value from third-party sources (Example
Merkle Digital Data Optimization Lab)
• Three capabilities are critical to companies creating competitive advantage within digital data
– Ability to effectively identify and extract digital data with business value
– Ability to integrate across digital and offline data sources
– Ability to utilize both online and offline customer data in real time interactive environments

Which individuals and segments should we target?
What channel should this individual be communicated
through?
Given the potential value of this customer how much
should I spend to impact behavior?
How often and in what sequence should I
communicate with this prospect?
Given their history what offer, service, or
communication should be delivered?
What product would this individual most likely be
interested in?
What is the best way to engage with this customer?

The Digital Marketing Value-Chain
Today, Consumers are…
Engaged in an ever expanding number of channels, which is challenging business leaders to broaden channel reach & execution capabilities
Barraged by an increasing number of messages and communications
Expecting personalized and relevant interactions; they are self-selecting to engage with brands that provide relevance and timeliness
Assuming brands are aware of their past interactions and expect brands to use this data to manage a worthwhile relationship dialogue
73
But, Most Business Leaders Approach
To Personalization Is Patchy…
Source: Forrester Research “Use Customer Analytics to Get Personal”, by Srividya Sridharan February 17, 2012
• Emphasize digital channels only
• Focus on superficial customer attributes
• Fail to determine causal impact of personalization
• Project aggregate group behavior to individuals
• Rely on asynchronous customer data
• Encourage channel myopia
• Missing the real-time dimension in their approach, thinking and capabilities

75
Levels of Personalization Maturity
Level 5 Leading Edge
Optimal Personalization [Contextual Relevance] • Combines multiple personalization enablers to give a multi-dimensional understanding at a
journey stage • Not only informs but also influences the customer’s mindset • Delivers a unique and competitive customer interaction • Addresses customer values: Contains the prevailing emotional criteria that best informs
customer decision behavior • Considers what will motivate: Has behavior stimulus that best connects with the Customer
Values to deliver the necessary response from the customer
Level 4 Consistent Best Practice
Moderate Personalization [General Relevance] • Provides data-driven, relevant content and product offers based on general customer
attributes • Timely; applicable content or offer; addresses customer preference(s) • Aligned with Brand/Promise drivers
Level 3 Industry Competitive
Limited Personalization • Focuses primarily on segment’s channel preferences • Delivery is appropriate and optimized for the media; channel, platform; addresses heuristics,
Level 2 Developing, Inconsistent
Sporadic Personalization • Mass-only attributes considered for content, limited to general versioning (region, language) • Inconsistently optimized for media or channel; only occasional personalization; limited
measurement; lack of data-driven content
Level 1 Limited to No Capability
No Personalization • Not optimized for media, channel or platform; no personalization; not measured for
performance; static content, no versioning

Personalization Is A Process, Not An

Source for Image and Quotes: Forrester, February 17, 2012, “Use Customer Analytics To Get Personal”
Where do we personalize next? Do we understand all of the decisions that are in
place and by who?
Do we have the right data? Is that system integrated yet? Is it fast enough and does it scale?
Is the content written? How do we manage changes?
Will this rule conflict with existing rules? How do we manage so many different yet related rules?
Is the experience consistent across all channels?
How do we know this is working? Is it working
because of what we are doing or someone else?
How can we continuously improve? How do we react quickly and confidently?

Personalization Engine Analytic Methods
• Cross channel personalization engines should support a variety of analytical methods
• Most single channel recommendation products just rely on information filtering since it is easiest to automate
Method Description Examples
Information Filtering (Highly automated & self learning)
Machine learning based techniques • Content based filtering – utilize discrete characteristics of
an item in order to recommend additional items with similar properties [More limited-easier to get started]
• Collaborative based filtering- “User behaves like this (or has preferences such as this) look like another user who likes/ purchases xyz” [More robust-cold start problem]
• Hybrid filtering- Combination of content and collaborative approaches [Best but most complex]
Decision Rules-Tree (Very custom, sequencing)
• Trigger actions- If user does this then do that • Adaptive rules- Next action or content varies based on
sequence of actions taken by user
Propensity Models (Custom models for few important decisions)
Statistical modeling based techniques • Next best product/offer/action modeling- Used in cases where
fewer offers, products, or options but rich consumer history

Attribution
CASE STUDY
Customer level modeling used to understand relative contribution of each marketing touch to the ultimate conversion activity.
Attribution Modeling Approach
Probability • Assemble conversion
sequences across direct and
digital media
• Given any sequence of
interactions, calculate the
probability of conversion for
that sequence
• By comparing these
conversion probabilities for
interaction sequences, isolate
the individual impact of each
of the interactions and assign
a weight to it
$
Conversion for the sequence with display 1 interaction
Conversion for the sequence without display 1 interaction
Response
Probability $ Display

Weight for D1 = [ Probability(conversion for the sequence) - Probability (conversion for the
sequence without D1)

Industry Example
Example: Overall Results
Based on initial results, by optimizing digital media spend, Company M is able to:
• Reduce expenses by 12.4%. Total expenses for the time period was $22 MM.
• Increase sales and/or site engagements by 10-20% for all future products when using advanced attribution.
107
Industry Example
Example: Recommendations
• Leverage advanced attribution methods
– Out performs last click optimization.
– Estimates more accurate CPA’s over time.
• Optimize between and within media channels
– In addition to the media spend costs savings, there is ample opportunity to improve within channel optimization (10-15%).
• Optimize on intent metrics
– Non-branded paid search drives intent but very few online purchases.
– Mobile advertising drives intent but no online purchases.
– Expand paid search keywords: Select Script Fill keywords drive Intent at decent CPAs (<$130):
• Improve display efficiency
– 10% of total impressions goes to a small sample that received 30+ impressions. Capping frequency can provide significant cost savings.
• Use the xyz Network as the anchor and round out media spend by supplementing with other not overlapping
– The xyz Network in particular has a significant overlap with other publishers
108
Industry Example
Example: Insights
• Segmentations – Chrome is the most common browser driving intent. – Safari users are less likely to be interested caregiver content. – Although only 4% of all impressions were served on an iPad, iPad represented
10% of attributed impressions associated with script fills.
• Best and worst performing sites – In general, sites that drive intent also drive conversion. – Site 1 and Network A are an exceptionally strong performers for intent and
conversion.
• Remarketing (Initial insights) – Remarketing is not as effective for driving intent as it is for driving purchases. – Remarking CPA’s are better than overall CPAs. The purchase CPA is 9 times
lower than average
• Channel drivers/funnel – Display is higher in the funnel and drives all other channels. – Video is an important part of the user journey. The relative value of video
changes from week to week

When You Get Back to Work …..
Realities of Working With Digital Data
Working With Your Agency
Realities of Working With Digital Data
• Gathering Data is the big challenge – 80% to 90 % of work may be data related – 10% to 20% of work may be modeling and insight development
• Common data Challenges:
– Agencies won’t share data (or don’t know how to share)
– Data will be missing in certain channels (especially social)
– Costing data is incorrect
– Data won’t mean what you think it means
• Determining meaningful conversion events is second biggest challenge – Mapping digital behaviors to Rx
• Recommended Best Practices
– Do beta engagements now
• Test conversion events
• Attempt to pass and interpret data
– Set expectation correctly on timing (at least a Quarter)
– Level set with agencies – you (the client) owns the data
111
Working With Your Agency
• Demand better ROI Modeling from your agencies – Although this requires work, good agencies like proof of ROI
– If you agencies are uncomfortable, this may be the sign of bigger problems
• Review Your Measurement Frameworks – What is your approach to attribution and ROI?
– Is this socialized through your organization?
• Insist your agencies collaborate – Agencies work best with clearly defined roles and Direct and clear clients
– Agencies prefer strong leadership
• Plan a beta test – Get access to raw data (test that agencies can deliver it or you have access)
– Try to analyze it yourself
– Review attribution marketplace
– Do a one-off pilot project
112
Working With Your Agency
• Get segmentation on your paid and owned experiences – Ex: How do caregivers behave on your website vs. script holders?
– Ex: How do you drill your media plan to different segments?
– Challenge yourself to understand the techniques for instrumenting segmentation
• Learn programmatic media – Not huge in Pharma today
– But it will be huge soon – Get Ready!
