OMMA RTB: May 16th, 2012
Buying at the Speed of Light – The market for real-time buying is moving as fast as, well, a targeted ad in an RTB system. This one-day conference will take place as an official event of Internet Week in New York. Join C3 Co-Founder and COO Jeff Greenfield for this panel discussion: What’s The Attribution, Kenneth? Data, data everywhere, but how do you attribute it in real-time? It is tough enough ascribing credit and blame across the major platforms and campaign elements. But when banners and data are flying at the speed of light, how does the planner make sense of real-time data flows in a lag-time universe of other media? And what kinds of data are the RTB executions giving off that can help inform not just optimization but future strategies across media? Two of the hottest topics in digital media, RTB and attribution, come together.

Join C3 Metrics’ CEO Mark Hughes as he leads 5 experienced marketers thru: The Balancing Act: Striking A Balance Between Innovation & Standardization In Display! Many marketers find themselves playing catch-up in this competitive marketplace and avoiding risks when it comes to online display campaigns. Because of this, the industry as a whole is often slow to evolve its day-to-day practices – especially as it relates to throwing out the status quo and adopting new and disruptive technologies and methodologies that claim to drive smarter display advertising. Unfortunately, the motto “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” doesn’t apply in this case. The way display advertising is bought, sold and measured has shifted dramatically over the last year, and in 2012, advertisers and agencies will have no choice but to evolve. On this panel, publishers will have an opportunity to hear directly from leading marketers on what they really care about when they are evaluating opportunities in display advertising and how they can achieve the needs of the marketers while still pushing the envelope forward.

Data Management Summit: July 17 -20, 2011
Arguably the most important issue in digital media and marketing today and will be for years. The policies, practices, strategies and tactics a company implements for audience data will play a large part in short term growth and long-term staying power for brands and media companies. Why? Because data management is multi-faceted. The digital media and marketing business has seen tremendous growth in companies that want to grow their customer base, size of an audience, improve its composition and then target that audience by increasingly smaller subsets. The Data Management Summit will be the first event to create an industry community out of this disparate group of companies and executives. DIGIDAY will gather key executives that have a stake in all sides of this issue. The Brands, Agencies, and Media Companies — as well as demand-side platforms, networks, targeting tech companies, and marketing measurement powerhouses will meet in one place for an in-depth high-level discussion that will help determine the direction of digital publishing and marketing, even as some of the best practices come under strong analysis from the government and privacy advocates.
Join C3 Metrics’ COO Jeff Greenfield for this session: Cracking the Attribution Code: First click or last click? Search or display? Branding or direct response? The Web held itself up as the most measurable, most accountable marketing vehicle available to advertisers, yet we still can’t figure out who to give credit to for successful – or failed – campaigns. Everyone taking credit and nobody accepting blame won’t help the Web become a larger part of the marketing mix. How can we solve the attribution problem in a mixed media landscape? Details here

SMX Advanced London: May 16-17, 2011
Join C3′s COO in London for this session: Credit Where Credit Is Due – Demystifying Online Attribution. Measuring ROI is key to effective online acquisition efforts. When you know what’s working (and what isn’t), you can react quickly. Just as important are the insights online data can give you about your customers: what were they searching for that caused them to buy? Did that display ad make all the difference? Unfortunately, attributing all conversions to the last click is easy to do with current analytics products, yet doing so obscures real customer data and effectiveness measurements. This panel will provide real answers on how to track a customer’s searches through all phases of the buying cycle, how to measure cross channel “assists”, and how to avoid the dangers of last click attribution.

In this session, interactive analytics specialists explain why establishing an attribution model is essential to campaign management and how to look beyond the last click to measure the impact of paid, owned and earned media.

Boston University School of Management: March 30, 2011
Over 10 years ago, marketers believed the Internet would trump traditional media due to the ability to measure everything … and yet current measurement systems still only see the bottom of the consumer purchase funnel which confuses Advertisers on where to allocate media dollars. Almost every online transaction results from multiple Internet ads with multiple ad channels (i.e. the sales funnel). Example: if four Internet ads contribute to a transaction, the last ad gets 100% credit. Yet the three prior ads, which prompted the sale and drove the revenue…get zero credit due to today’s ‘last click’ method of measurement. Frightening. Jeff Greenfield, COO of C3 Metrics will review the history of online advertising, discuss new technologies for media measurement and explore the convergence of the Internet with traditional media and what this all means for marketers.
