Attribution - Should we really care?

Tweet me questions and comments to @therustybear

This is my presentation - I’m not going to talk for the next minute

or so

@therustybear

You now have 20ish slides of RANT.

I’m sorry in advance

@therustybear

(i’m really not)

90% of what i’m going to

present you might not be TRUE today

@therustybear

But please pay attention - as if

it’s not true tomorrow i’m out of a job!

@therustybear

I’m betting pretty much my entire career that people

actually give a shit about the truth

@therustybear

and by the truth I mean that brands and the way that

consumers interact with them matters

@therustybear

marketing is not just about followers and retweets or likes.

@therustybear

Marketing is, and has always

been about attention

management

@therustybear

We can adjust what we do

based on what we know.

@therustybear

And we know a friggin lot!

what we dont do…

@therustybear

is know what we know

@therustybear

but the scariest thing…

@therustybear

is even when we know, we don’t

always know what the right

things are to do

@therustybear

Digital Analytics and what is can

do for businesses is incredible

@therustybear

Its the beacon…the Rudolf… it

should be the guiding light of

the digital renaissance

@therustybear

Today its the scaffolding - yeah it helps the building…

@therustybear

But it should be in the mind of

the architect, the plans and

engrained in the foundations through to the roof.

@therustybear

Screw “BIG DATA”

@therustybear

Terms like that are created to try

to help people understand

things simply

@therustybear

Data analytics is not simple. But its use is!

@therustybear

Invest time in understanding the

true value of your data. What it

can bring and you’ll be 10 steps

ahead of 99% of marketers

today.

Do all data scientists wear glasses?

Lets talk about attribution in the real world

@therustybear

Please do not use this slide

We need to define how we can understand each stage

@therustybear

without definition what

differentiates us and “them”

@therustybear

The key issues with doing attribution well are

not technical, they are

phycological

@therustybear

We have to change business

mindset before we can truly

change business

@therustybear

Lets talk about what is possible today…

and by possible i mean I did it last month, this month and next week….

@therustybear

What is possible• TV Data, Radio.. All ATV data aligned with online

• Overlay of geographic ATL information to sale performance online

• Social media sentiment analysis post tv spot by geography and

demo

• Algorithmically calculating next best action for post campaign

• Algorithmically stopping and starting campaigns

• Connection between marketing, CRM and CS datasets

• Econometrics and Price Yielding based on real time data

• Connecting Sales and Revenue from offline interactions to touch—

points both online and offline (including meetings and call backs)

The data I use is probably 80%

right…If that

@therustybear

Its not about data accuracy

I’m not trying to land a plane

@therustybear

I’m trying to find out why people want to go abroad

@therustybear

The Internet of Things

What are the issues

• Filter bubbles with multi device

• Focus on cookies

• Technology keeping up (IOT)

• Being used by people to prove an answer they have already

• Being pushed into businesses by the wrong people

• Being managed by the wrong people

• Not being managed at all - no insights or actions

• Not visualised in the right way to the business

Theres no right answer -

attribution is not a plug and

play system

@therustybear

I’m sorry

@therustybear

If you take one thing away - the next time someone saying

attribution please know this

@therustybear

Attribution is NOT only for econometrics modelling

@therustybear

Attribution is NOT only channel budget distribution

@therustybear

Attribution is NOT only sales funnel management

@therustybear

Attribution is NOT going to make you look smart on its own

@therustybear

Attribution should allow you to better understand consumers

that engage with you
