Why is i t impor tan t

Because without it

• You don’t know what you’re doing

• The clients don’t know what they are doing

• You will veer off and use energies elsewhere

• And you don’t know when you might have arrived

Why is i t impor tan t

Unfortunately, the research shows that campaigns with single objectives are dramatically less effective than ones with multiple objectives.

This suggests marketers should adopt a balanced scorecard approach, identifying multiple Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that span the influence of the campaign – from softer, intermediate measures, through to harder business measures. This ensures that we focus on the overall contribution that a successful campaign makes, not just on direct attribution to units sold. Here’s an example of a typical marketing balanced scorecard:

Setting objectives

Objec t i ves , s t ra teg ies and tac t i cs

• End destination

• ‘to…’

Objective

• The route to get there

• ‘by…’

Strategy • Specific actions for the strategy

• ‘how will we…’

Tactics

Which ob jec t i ves

Hard objective

s

Soft objective

s

Awareness

Perceptions

Engagement

Recommendation

Consideration

SatisfactionEtc.

Fame

Popularity

Imagery

Trust

What a re ob jec t ives

Increase sales

Increase margin/price

Reduce costs

Increase productivity

Increase revenue

HARD MEASURES SOFT MEASURES

Key Performance Indicators

• Choose the main 5 indicators, which encapsulates your objectives

• Metrics are things you measure, but not a direct indicator of success

Set t ing KP Is

Drive engagement

• Time spent on website

• Depth of visit

Increase purchase intent

• Increase ‘top 2 box’ purchase intent

Careful to distinguish between an objective and an outcome

Objective: what we are trying to do/achieve

Outcome: are the changes, benefits, learning or other effects that happen as a result of your work. They can be wanted or unwanted, expected or unexpected.

START EARLY

Campaign planningDiscovery or Collision stages

WORK BACKWARDS

Start from the bottom and work back through the model:How will the comms create profit?What behaviour do we need?What attitudinal change do we need?What comms engagement do we need?

SET OBJECTIVES THAT WILL STRETCH THE BRAND

IPA research shows brands that set tangible and stretching business and marketing objectives are more effective

THINK ABOUT NON-OBVIOUS EFFECTS

DistributionPrice premiumUsage occasionNon discountingStaff costsCredit ratingMarket capitalisation

THINK ABOUT SECONDARY AUDIENCES

TradeStaffInvestorsPotential employeesSuppliersGovernment

GROUP EXERCISE

In groups of fiveChoose one of the campaigns on the wallTake five minutesDevelop a comms model

ANY EXCEPTIONS?

NOT PROFIT BUT IS FINANCIAL

Charities and governments may not need a profit.But there will be a financial effect of the comms.If we can prevent a handful of drink driving incidents,what is the financial impact?

WHY IS AN EFFECTS MODEL IMPORTANT?

1. HELP DEVELOP GREAT CREATIVE

Sets a solid base for campaign developmentHelps prevent client briefs from changingProvides confidence for clients to be brave

2. ENSURES COMMS ARE EVALUATED PROPERLY

Sets the expectations about how our work should workStops our ideas being judged against the wrong measuresEnsures we set the agenda (not media agencies or others)

3. HELPS CLIENTS TO CONVINCE STAKEHOLDERS

Many of our ideas are crippled by stakeholders .Often non-marketing people not understanding,the role or value of the comms.A comms model can empower our clients.

4. PUTS A VALUE TO WHAT WE DO

What are we worth?What are our ideas worth?Are they worth the time we put in or the effect they can have?
