VP of Business Development & Strategy, Ben Brenner, was recently featured in Toolbox Marketing, where he explained the numerous advantages Flip offers advertisers and agencies. Here’s a look at what he had to say:

Treat OTT like an extension of social.

Through extensive industry partnerships, brands and agencies get direct access to every premium OTT publisher to maximize audience reach. Because there’s no middleman, brands get the most efficient pricing possible, creating higher ROI and return on ad spend (ROAS). And because the entire OTT strategy is managed within Flip, there’s no need to hassle with multiple vendor relationships or contracts. It’s simple, consolidated, and efficient.

Leverage data, both first-and third-party.

Through sophisticated measurement capabilities, marketers can now understand the CTV exposure-to-outcome impact of their ads. Given the significant investment in this media channel, attribution—the process of assigning credit for conversions to various marketing touchpoints along the customers’ journey—has become a must-have for growth and performance marketers. This information is critical to creating more effective ad campaigns and boosting revenue. In measuring conversions following ad exposure for CTV, it’s important to understand which exposure caused the conversion to take place.

Through incrementality analysis, we can evaluate all the conversions that wouldn’t have happened without our media. But in many instances, other media channels had an influence. In fact, every touchpoint your audience has with your campaign influences a conversion—no matter the partner or channel.

If a Digital Remedy campaign played a part in a conversion that involved other media exposures, clients want to understand how the exposure to Digital Remedy played a role in improving the efficacy of the media. In this case, the OTT campaign influenced the conversion, but the second partner’s attribution modeling wouldn’t take that into account, and it would get full credit for the conversion. 

All media works together. None of your advertising works in a vacuum. Conversion reporting/attribution is only one of several ways to analyze whether specific media is working for you. With halo effect analysis, clients can understand the campaign boost Digital Remedy is providing. If we played a part in a conversion that involved some other media, we’re essentially improving the efficacy of that media type with our own media.

What Is Halo Effect?

Incremental channel lift, or halo effect, is a way to measure the boost in performance of your search, social, and affiliate channels provided by your CTV campaigns. In other words, the halo effect shows how much more likely someone is to convert if they see CTV ads AND any of your search, social, or affiliate ads versus ONLY seeing ads on those other channels.

Halo effect analysis takes a more holistic approach to attribution, focusing on incremental conversions across media channels and campaigns. With this analysis, you can connect your CTV spend and see just how much of a boost these campaigns are providing for all of the other media you’re running.

How Does It Work?

Rather than having to take credit for the direct performance of our media, we are able to assign that credit and take indirect credit instead through halo effect analysis. Search lift, social lift, affiliate lift, native lift; you name it, all of this can be done through this same process. 

Benefits of Halo Effect with Digital Remedy

Leveraging halo effect analysis through Digital Remedy, advertisers can measure the true incrementality of their marketing initiatives and refine their campaign mix to deliver a better ad experience for their customers (and better results for their business). Benefits include:

With its precise targeting and direct attribution capabilities, OTT/CTV advertising has become a powerful new performance-based opportunity for marketers. As more and more brands have discovered the potential to effectively reach high-value audiences and measure return on ad spend (ROAS), spending on OTT/CTV advertising has skyrocketed and is expected to surge 40% this year to over $14.4b—more than doubling by 2024 to nearly $30b.

With precision targeting and deterministic measurement, performance CTV provides a unique opportunity for marketers to reach highly-engaged audiences. But for marketers who are new to the channel, especially those who are more familiar with linear TV, OTT/CTV might feel a bit disorienting. Our own, Ben Brenner, VP of Business Development & Strategy, was recently featured in Street Fight Magazine, where he discussed some tips for getting started and how to fully maximize your performance CTV strategy. Here’s an overview of what he had to say:

Adopt a fast, fluid, and iterative approach.

Unlike linear TV, where an ad buy will stay in rotation for a fixed period of time, CTV buys can (and should be) much more dynamic, fluid, and iterative. With CTV, it’s much easier to launch, adjust, and optimize targeting throughout your campaign’s flight.

Leverage your customer data.

With CTV, you can use first-party data to target both existing and prospective customers in a variety of ways, including using your CRM list to target existing customers with new product launches, excluding existing users to reach only new audiences for prospecting campaigns, and using known user data to surface look-a-like consumers to connect with new high-value prospects.

Tap into third-party data.

There is a huge variety of third-party data sources available that can help to target ads on CTV, including data on purchases, viewership, search and browser history, location, in-store visits, and more.

Utilize full attribution insights.

With CTV, you can get full attribution visibility—when someone makes a purchase, you can look back to see which ad they saw on what platform, during which program, and at what time of day. By understanding this sequence and the attributes of every ad exposure, not just the last one, marketers can fine-tune ad targeting and delivery to maximize conversions and identify new users who are most likely to convert.

Work with a partner who can bring it all together.

Look for a partner who can offer both first- and third-party data integrations, directly access a wide variety of streaming publishers, and provide both attribution tracking and real-time optimization, with complete transparency into the process so there are no surprises.

With streaming now accounting for nearly 70% of TV viewing, this massive audience is drawing a lot of attention from advertisers. Spending on OTT advertising is expected to jump from $990m in 2020 to $2.37b by 2025, creeping slowly toward overtaking linear TV’s top spot for spending. Despite the huge opportunity, executing OTT advertising can be a challenge for both big and small brands and agencies.

With so many platforms, it’s hard to know which one to choose. Managing relationships with multiple publishers is cumbersome and it can be hard to track the right metrics to know what’s working and what’s not. To solve that challenge, Flip, our performance OTT platform, provides a smarter way to buy, manage, and optimize OTT campaigns.

Measure Actions, Not Just Views

At the end of the day, advertisers want to know how their campaigns are driving measurable outcomes, and ultimately, sales. Flip is able to connect those dots, to measure KPIs like app downloads, website visits, shopping carts started, and even in-store visits.

Broader Data For Deeper Insights

With Flip, you can bring your own data and combine it with Digital Remedy’s extensive third-party data sources and leverage this broader data set for deeper, more refined audience targeting and reporting.

Real-time Brand Lift Results

Beyond just views and low-funnel conversions, Flip also allows marketers to track brand lift by combining OTT engagement metrics with survey-based insights to measure awareness, recall, and perception.

Find Out What Really Moves The Needle

With Flip, brands can answer the question: of everyone who took action, how many of them did so because of an OTT exposure specifically? Flip provides in-depth incremental lift metrics, measuring and identifying which campaign variables have the truest impact on your bottom line in the consumer pathway to purchase.

Decades Of Expertise On Your Side

With more than 20 years in the digital space, they’ve been executing across all types of media, since back when you still had to manually optimize. And with roughly five years in the OTT space itself, this institutional knowledge means you get data-powered technology that’s backed by deep expertise from professionals who have been on the other side as marketers themselves and have a deep understanding of the metrics that advertisers really want to see.

While jumping into a new medium like OTT can seem overwhelming, with the right tools and expertise in your corner, anything is possible. With the Flip OTT performance platform, Digital Remedy is making it accessible, simple, and affordable for brands and marketers at all levels to win at OTT.
