It Depends: Setting Expectations for Real-World Mobile Marketing Campaigns

Ask any agency executive what mobile is good for and what role mobile plays in the marketing mix and they’ll always tell you one thing “it depends.” In our agency panel we call them on it, and ask buyers and planners to share how recent campaigns set and delivered against specific marketing goals. What expectations were established with clients? What scale was sought and delivered? How integral were they in relation to other parts of the media plan? And ultimately, how are agencies talking honestly with their clients about realistic expectations from mobile platforms?

To GRP or Not to GRP: Getting the Metrics for Online Video Right

A year after Nielsen's aggressive push to establish its Online Campaign Ratings (OCR) as the ratings standard for online video, the industry seems resolved to treat the medium the same way it treats its older cousin, television: based on gross rating points.

But before it's too late, are GRPs the right basis for comparison for a medium that has much higher performance and interactivity metrics than television? Or is the industry just copping out and defaulting to simplicity and what it knows? And if so, what are the implications of extending Nielsen's default monopoly from television to online? What will be the roles for comScore, other suppliers, and proprietary metrics? And what happens when the line between screens continues to blur, particularly when Nielsen introduces cross-platform ratings capable of tracking video across the whole spectrum of multimedia video consumption?

This OMMA Video session will look at the ramifications that surround an old medium colliding with a new one.

Watch Live: Is Social Intelligence the New Business Intelligence?

Today: at 11:30am EST watch Digitas' Beth McCabe, VP/Group Director of Social Marketing & Technology, live at OMMA Social. McCabe will explore the opportunities and challenges of social intelligence in a panel discussion with leaders from Kinetic Social, M80, tracx, and more.

What’s the Buzz: Is Social Intelligence the New Business Intelligence?

Not so long ago, business intelligence – which gave brands massive information about the wants, needs and behaviors of their customers – was the coin of the realm when it came to truly understanding the marketplace. But social has changed all that. Not only has social intelligence exponentially expanded the amount of information available, but its public nature makes it a very different beast then the closed-in focus groups and other data sources that used to dictate the relationship between consumers and brands. The shift leads to the obvious question of what the role of classic business intelligence is when there’s so much social data readily available. Does social intelligence supplement it, or supplant it?

Sprint's "Unlimited Love for Mom"

Team Sprint gave Sprint and non-Sprint customers the opportunity to be mom’s favorite by sending a reminder to call and wish her a happy Mother’s Day—on May 12th, and any time of the year after that. Visit Now.Sprint.com/CallMom, enter mom’s number, choose when they’re free to chat, and Sprint will send a text reminder at that time.

 

Because calling Mom on Mother’s Day has its rewards, but calling for no reason after her special day has even more of them.
