Splitting the buy: <\/strong>In the broadcast world, marketers often allocate media dollars across several TV networks, hoping that vast reach will capture the audience they are after. But for digital campaigns, it\u2019s often better to consolidate campaign spend. Why? Data. The more data that\u2019s put through a single buying platform, the smarter marketing becomes. The bottom line: data + technology are driving big shifts in how marketers need to approach their media buying strategies.<\/p>\n

Compartmentalizing data:<\/strong> Too many marketers separate mobile, social and desktop strategies just like they do with TV, outdoor and print. People engage with multiple channels (sometimes even simultaneously) throughout the day, so why are marketers isolating data in siloed buckets?<\/p>\n

When digital data is integrated and used to inform big picture, multi-channel decisions around reach, frequency and even creative strategy, its value increases exponentially.<\/p>\n

Static media planning:<\/b> The days of creating a stagnant media plan at the beginning of the month will soon be over. With access to dynamic, cross-channel insight, creative and media strategies can and should be optimized in real-time, allowing brands to take full advantage of \u201cright time, right place, right message.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manual processes:<\/b>\u00a0We conduct online stock trades and make dinner reservations online. Yet, it takes dozens of faxes and multiple phone calls and meetings just to make a single ad buy. Astonishing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s far time for marketers to embrace \u201cmechanization.\u201d Mechanization means that machines replace manual planning and buying processes (including multi-page RFPs and insertion orders) that waste time and money. Big efficiencies will be realized as more marketers embrace programmatic ad buying technologies to execute campaigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
