Insight Holistic Analysis Performance highlights that banner ads drive the lowest number of site visits, in turn driving up the overall CPSV. Due to the performance of contextual and native placements, It can be inferred that consumers are more likely to visit a brand site if they receive an ad that is relevant to the content they are already engaging with. Due to this consistent performance, contextual and native tactics should be prioritized for future site visit campaigns. Social performance shows that while all audiences perform in-line with benchmark, look-a-likes and CRM audiences perform well under goal in terms of CPSV and should be prioritized in future campaigns to help drive efficiencies. (And so what?) QBR Analysis Examination of Observations Social audiences such as look-a-likes and CRM audiences consistently drove the highest number of site visits Q1-Q2, driving over 67% of the total campaign site visits. Display is seeing success strictly within contextual & native tactics. Driving 90% of the Display site visits, and 12% of the total campaign site visits. (Why did this happen) Due to.. Because of..

Optimizations… Provide insight into the level of work that happens within a campaign Help us tell a better story Prove that we are adding value by generating efficiencies and increasing results Tracking Optimizations Utilization & Log O ptimization Log… Document owned by SME’s that tracks all changes made to campaigns, audience, targeting, etc. Includes rationale for making the optimization Can include hypothesis on results that will be driven by the recorded optimization.
Optimization Log Example & Template Cheat-Sheet Observation What is currently happening within a channel, partner, audience or creative in terms of performance against benchmark? Analysis Why is what you observed seeing this performance? ( You may not always have a clear understanding ) Optimization What direct action are you taking to increase performance? Hypothesis How do you think the optimization you are implementing will impact the campaign/increase performance? Partner -or- Platform Date of Optimization Campaign Week # Observation Analysis (if available) Optimization Hypothesis Facebook 10-May 1 Instagram stories seem to consistently be out-performing in-feed Instagram ads, driving a 10% lower CPC. Since we are only 7 days into the campaign it is unclear why stories are out-performing in-feed No-current optimization - Monitor for an additional week before adjusting Although stories are seeing top performance today, CPC will even out across placements over the coming weeks as story units have a lower reach that in-feed. Pinterest 10-May 1 Video pins are under-delivering against benchmarks across all audiences Video pins are reaching a smaller audience due to the base CPM cost, and it appears users are only watching an avg. of 2 seconds of video pins Switch video pins to a reach buying objective to increase total campaign reach. By reaching more potential consumers utilizing the reach objective we will increase total site traffic. Our CPC will likely increase however our CTR will also increase. Facebook 17-May 2 Instagram stories and in-feed placement have started to even out in terms of CPC performance. Instagram stories are now only seeing a 2% higher CPC than in-feed ads N/A No optimizations needed N/A Facebook 17-May 2 High-value look-a-like audiences are seeing a 50% higher ROAS than standard look-a-like audiences. It appears that high-value audiences have only 25% of the reach of standard audiences. High value audiences are likely seeing stronger performance because they are reaching a smaller more qualified target. Increase bid for high-value audiences and lower the bid for to increase the reach of high value consumers as well as the number of ECOMM sales. By increasing our bid we can expect to increase an increased CPM and CPP, however we will also drive an increased ROAS for high-value audiences - which will put us above our benchmark ROAS for the campaign Main tab needs updated, and needs moved to BFF

Executive Summary Key Optimizations & Observations Brand Checking Mortgage Facebook video continues to drive the lowest cost per completed view AND lowest CPM. Dollars from YouTube were shifted in April to increase efficiencies. The Hoops video performed best across all channels, earning 72% of the total video views. Observations & Analysis Campaign to Date Pacing Budget: $1MM Spend: $375K Pacing: 38% Objective: Increase Reach Benchmark: CPM - $7.50 Performance: $6.43 – 14% below benchmark Display banners continue to bring the average cost per submit up due to behavioral audience's poor performance in terms of cost per submit. We recommend turning off display for the month of May and shifting dollars to social and video. Search performance continues to decrease. We hypothesis that is this due to a lack of upper funnel awareness efforts. We believe search performance will benefit from optimization into social and video Budget: $1.5MM Spend: $375K Pacing: 38% Objective: Increase Checking Accounts Goal: 30,000 Checking App Submits Benchmark: Cost per submit - $45 Delivery: 14,984 – 50% of goal Performance: $32.29 - 28% below benchmark Social placements struggled to meet benchmark, however, is the top performer in terms of driving site traffic. In April we paused social conversion campaigns and shifted 25% of the budget to social traffic campaigns and the remaining 75% to Search campaigns which are driving the lowest cost per submit.

Next Steps
Next Steps Template Adoption (Today) Teams who can or are interested in adopting the new template for their clients reporting should do so immediately. If you have questions on how to best set up your clients reporting within one of the templates, please set up time with Shane. 1 SME Reporting Work Shops & Training (August – September) Each digital SME will be required to complete 1-2 training courses focused on report building and analysis. 2 3 Datorama Client Dashboarding (September - December) If your client is not currently onboarded/onboarding to Datorama, hang tight! Leigh-Ann will be reaching out at the end of Q3 to outstanding teams and will provide a process on how to get your client dashboard setup.
