Point solutions thrive despite market consolidation

Despite some market consolidation due to acquisition point solutions play an important role in the paid media market as enterprises seek best-of-breed tools to use in conjunction with their campaign management platforms and small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) look for affordable options to manage singular paid media tasks such as attribution ad text keyword and bid optimization and PLAs and product ads on Google Shopping and Bing Shopping (see Table 4)

Displayretargeting tool Criteo expanded its capabilities by acquiring DataPop in February 2015 while keyword optimization tool WordStream bolstered its efforts to remain independent by raising $9 million in Series C financing in July 2014 Several point solutions were acquired by enterprise content marketers to bring selected campaign management capabilities in house For example in May 2014 WalmartLabs bought PLA management tool Adchemy while AOL purchased attribution tool Convertro

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform capabilitiesVirtually all enterprise paid media campaign management platforms now offer a core set of paid media tools and capabilities that focus on

bull Automated bid management and optimizationbull Multichannel attribution modelsbull Campaign and creative optimization andbull Campaign performance analytics and reporting

The platforms begin to differentiate by offering more advanced capabilities that include ndash but are not limited to ndash the following

bull Intra-hourly bid adjustmentsbull Multichannel media support and data integrationbull SDKs for mobile app tracking andbull Support for multiple search ad formats (ie PLAs RLSAs Google Voice)

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel media support

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels This includes more seamless integration of their first-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media In response paid media campaign management platforms now support a wider array of media Automated workflow and bidding processes are available to manage budgets and staff resources across multiple digital channels The majority of vendors profiled in this report fully manage ad creation bidding analytics and reporting for the media that they support in each of these digital channels

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

profit etc) Do you have other clients in my vertical bull Do you work with international search engines and support multi-byte character sets (if

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

Attribution modelsbull What conversion attribution models do you use and offer Is it included in the base pricebull Can we do search-based attribution as well as attribution across channelsbull Do you employ or work closely with a well-qualified team of PhD-holding mathematicians

and statisticians

Testingbull Is landing page and creative testing available What type (AB or multivariate)bull Are there any limitations to using outside landing page or creative testing products (ie

engines bull Can we run summary reports across all accounts and the different engines bull Can we view changes made by users and by the bidding system bull Can we compare date ranges to detect trends and view the impact of changes on

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

Point solutions thrive despite market consolidation

Despite some market consolidation due to acquisition point solutions play an important role in the paid media market as enterprises seek best-of-breed tools to use in conjunction with their campaign management platforms and small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) look for affordable options to manage singular paid media tasks such as attribution ad text keyword and bid optimization and PLAs and product ads on Google Shopping and Bing Shopping (see Table 4)

Displayretargeting tool Criteo expanded its capabilities by acquiring DataPop in February 2015 while keyword optimization tool WordStream bolstered its efforts to remain independent by raising $9 million in Series C financing in July 2014 Several point solutions were acquired by enterprise content marketers to bring selected campaign management capabilities in house For example in May 2014 WalmartLabs bought PLA management tool Adchemy while AOL purchased attribution tool Convertro

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform capabilitiesVirtually all enterprise paid media campaign management platforms now offer a core set of paid media tools and capabilities that focus on

bull Automated bid management and optimizationbull Multichannel attribution modelsbull Campaign and creative optimization andbull Campaign performance analytics and reporting

The platforms begin to differentiate by offering more advanced capabilities that include ndash but are not limited to ndash the following

bull Intra-hourly bid adjustmentsbull Multichannel media support and data integrationbull SDKs for mobile app tracking andbull Support for multiple search ad formats (ie PLAs RLSAs Google Voice)

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel media support

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels This includes more seamless integration of their first-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media In response paid media campaign management platforms now support a wider array of media Automated workflow and bidding processes are available to manage budgets and staff resources across multiple digital channels The majority of vendors profiled in this report fully manage ad creation bidding analytics and reporting for the media that they support in each of these digital channels

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

Attribution modelsbull What conversion attribution models do you use and offer Is it included in the base pricebull Can we do search-based attribution as well as attribution across channelsbull Do you employ or work closely with a well-qualified team of PhD-holding mathematicians

and statisticians

Testingbull Is landing page and creative testing available What type (AB or multivariate)bull Are there any limitations to using outside landing page or creative testing products (ie

engines bull Can we run summary reports across all accounts and the different engines bull Can we view changes made by users and by the bidding system bull Can we compare date ranges to detect trends and view the impact of changes on

performancebull How many metrics are available for reporting Can we optimize by metrics such as types of

conversions or site analytics such as ldquotime on siterdquobull How flexible is data manipulation and importexportbull Is an API available for reporting and for uploading offline conversionsbull Can we consolidate reporting across channels seamlessly (ie without the added steps

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

Point solutions thrive despite market consolidation

Despite some market consolidation due to acquisition point solutions play an important role in the paid media market as enterprises seek best-of-breed tools to use in conjunction with their campaign management platforms and small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) look for affordable options to manage singular paid media tasks such as attribution ad text keyword and bid optimization and PLAs and product ads on Google Shopping and Bing Shopping (see Table 4)

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel media support

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels This includes more seamless integration of their first-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media In response paid media campaign management platforms now support a wider array of media Automated workflow and bidding processes are available to manage budgets and staff resources across multiple digital channels The majority of vendors profiled in this report fully manage ad creation bidding analytics and reporting for the media that they support in each of these digital channels

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

M A R K E T I N T E L L I G E N C E R E P O R T

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

profit etc) Do you have other clients in my vertical bull Do you work with international search engines and support multi-byte character sets (if

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

Attribution modelsbull What conversion attribution models do you use and offer Is it included in the base pricebull Can we do search-based attribution as well as attribution across channelsbull Do you employ or work closely with a well-qualified team of PhD-holding mathematicians

and statisticians

Testingbull Is landing page and creative testing available What type (AB or multivariate)bull Are there any limitations to using outside landing page or creative testing products (ie

Optimizely AdAlysis Unbounce)

Reportingbull Can we get a custom view of our campaigns with features like labels or filtersbull Can we use existing conversion tracking tags that are already on our site or do we need to

conversions or site analytics such as ldquotime on siterdquobull How flexible is data manipulation and importexportbull Is an API available for reporting and for uploading offline conversionsbull Can we consolidate reporting across channels seamlessly (ie without the added steps

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

system update to support new functionalitybull Has there been any down timebull What is the most useful actionable (favorite) report the tool generatesbull What do you wish they did differentlybull Why would you recommend this tool

Although not all vendors require an annual contract many do Once yoursquove selected a vendor be sure to get in writing a list of what technology and support are covered in the contract Ask about what kinds of additional fees might come up Are there charges for custom integrations if so how much What is the hourly charge for engineering services and is there a minimum What partner organizations are available to install and integrate the tool If you need to train a new hire midyear what will that cost What is the ldquooutrdquo clause Obtaining the answers up front ndash and having them in writing ndash will ensure fewer surprises or additional costs down the road

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel media support

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels This includes more seamless integration of their first-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media In response paid media campaign management platforms now support a wider array of media Automated workflow and bidding processes are available to manage budgets and staff resources across multiple digital channels The majority of vendors profiled in this report fully manage ad creation bidding analytics and reporting for the media that they support in each of these digital channels

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

M A R K E T I N T E L L I G E N C E R E P O R T

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

Attribution modelsbull What conversion attribution models do you use and offer Is it included in the base pricebull Can we do search-based attribution as well as attribution across channelsbull Do you employ or work closely with a well-qualified team of PhD-holding mathematicians

and statisticians

Testingbull Is landing page and creative testing available What type (AB or multivariate)bull Are there any limitations to using outside landing page or creative testing products (ie

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

system update to support new functionalitybull Has there been any down timebull What is the most useful actionable (favorite) report the tool generatesbull What do you wish they did differentlybull Why would you recommend this tool

Despite some market consolidation due to acquisition point solutions play an important role in the paid media market as enterprises seek best-of-breed tools to use in conjunction with their campaign management platforms and small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) look for affordable options to manage singular paid media tasks such as attribution ad text keyword and bid optimization and PLAs and product ads on Google Shopping and Bing Shopping (see Table 4)

Displayretargeting tool Criteo expanded its capabilities by acquiring DataPop in February 2015 while keyword optimization tool WordStream bolstered its efforts to remain independent by raising $9 million in Series C financing in July 2014 Several point solutions were acquired by enterprise content marketers to bring selected campaign management capabilities in house For example in May 2014 WalmartLabs bought PLA management tool Adchemy while AOL purchased attribution tool Convertro

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

Point solutions thrive despite market consolidation

Despite some market consolidation due to acquisition point solutions play an important role in the paid media market as enterprises seek best-of-breed tools to use in conjunction with their campaign management platforms and small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) look for affordable options to manage singular paid media tasks such as attribution ad text keyword and bid optimization and PLAs and product ads on Google Shopping and Bing Shopping (see Table 4)

Displayretargeting tool Criteo expanded its capabilities by acquiring DataPop in February 2015 while keyword optimization tool WordStream bolstered its efforts to remain independent by raising $9 million in Series C financing in July 2014 Several point solutions were acquired by enterprise content marketers to bring selected campaign management capabilities in house For example in May 2014 WalmartLabs bought PLA management tool Adchemy while AOL purchased attribution tool Convertro

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform capabilitiesVirtually all enterprise paid media campaign management platforms now offer a core set of paid media tools and capabilities that focus on

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel media support

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels This includes more seamless integration of their first-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media In response paid media campaign management platforms now support a wider array of media Automated workflow and bidding processes are available to manage budgets and staff resources across multiple digital channels The majority of vendors profiled in this report fully manage ad creation bidding analytics and reporting for the media that they support in each of these digital channels

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

M A R K E T I N T E L L I G E N C E R E P O R T

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

Attribution modelsbull What conversion attribution models do you use and offer Is it included in the base pricebull Can we do search-based attribution as well as attribution across channelsbull Do you employ or work closely with a well-qualified team of PhD-holding mathematicians

and statisticians

Testingbull Is landing page and creative testing available What type (AB or multivariate)bull Are there any limitations to using outside landing page or creative testing products (ie

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

system update to support new functionalitybull Has there been any down timebull What is the most useful actionable (favorite) report the tool generatesbull What do you wish they did differentlybull Why would you recommend this tool

Point solutions thrive despite market consolidation

Despite some market consolidation due to acquisition point solutions play an important role in the paid media market as enterprises seek best-of-breed tools to use in conjunction with their campaign management platforms and small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) look for affordable options to manage singular paid media tasks such as attribution ad text keyword and bid optimization and PLAs and product ads on Google Shopping and Bing Shopping (see Table 4)

Displayretargeting tool Criteo expanded its capabilities by acquiring DataPop in February 2015 while keyword optimization tool WordStream bolstered its efforts to remain independent by raising $9 million in Series C financing in July 2014 Several point solutions were acquired by enterprise content marketers to bring selected campaign management capabilities in house For example in May 2014 WalmartLabs bought PLA management tool Adchemy while AOL purchased attribution tool Convertro

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

bull Intra-hourly bid adjustmentsbull Multichannel media support and data integrationbull SDKs for mobile app tracking andbull Support for multiple search ad formats (ie PLAs RLSAs Google Voice)

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel media support

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels This includes more seamless integration of their first-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media In response paid media campaign management platforms now support a wider array of media Automated workflow and bidding processes are available to manage budgets and staff resources across multiple digital channels The majority of vendors profiled in this report fully manage ad creation bidding analytics and reporting for the media that they support in each of these digital channels

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

M A R K E T I N T E L L I G E N C E R E P O R T

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

profit etc) Do you have other clients in my vertical bull Do you work with international search engines and support multi-byte character sets (if

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

Attribution modelsbull What conversion attribution models do you use and offer Is it included in the base pricebull Can we do search-based attribution as well as attribution across channelsbull Do you employ or work closely with a well-qualified team of PhD-holding mathematicians

and statisticians

Testingbull Is landing page and creative testing available What type (AB or multivariate)bull Are there any limitations to using outside landing page or creative testing products (ie

Optimizely AdAlysis Unbounce)

Reportingbull Can we get a custom view of our campaigns with features like labels or filtersbull Can we use existing conversion tracking tags that are already on our site or do we need to

engines bull Can we run summary reports across all accounts and the different engines bull Can we view changes made by users and by the bidding system bull Can we compare date ranges to detect trends and view the impact of changes on

performancebull How many metrics are available for reporting Can we optimize by metrics such as types of

conversions or site analytics such as ldquotime on siterdquobull How flexible is data manipulation and importexportbull Is an API available for reporting and for uploading offline conversionsbull Can we consolidate reporting across channels seamlessly (ie without the added steps

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

searchbull Were there any surprises that you wish yoursquod known about beforehandbull Where have you seen the most success The biggest challengesbull How are you measuring your own successbull How easy was the set-up process and how long Did the vendor helpbull How responsive is customer servicebull When networks make changes or add new ad formats how quicklysmoothly does the

system update to support new functionalitybull Has there been any down timebull What is the most useful actionable (favorite) report the tool generatesbull What do you wish they did differentlybull Why would you recommend this tool

Although not all vendors require an annual contract many do Once yoursquove selected a vendor be sure to get in writing a list of what technology and support are covered in the contract Ask about what kinds of additional fees might come up Are there charges for custom integrations if so how much What is the hourly charge for engineering services and is there a minimum What partner organizations are available to install and integrate the tool If you need to train a new hire midyear what will that cost What is the ldquooutrdquo clause Obtaining the answers up front ndash and having them in writing ndash will ensure fewer surprises or additional costs down the road

Point solutions thrive despite market consolidation

Despite some market consolidation due to acquisition point solutions play an important role in the paid media market as enterprises seek best-of-breed tools to use in conjunction with their campaign management platforms and small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) look for affordable options to manage singular paid media tasks such as attribution ad text keyword and bid optimization and PLAs and product ads on Google Shopping and Bing Shopping (see Table 4)

Displayretargeting tool Criteo expanded its capabilities by acquiring DataPop in February 2015 while keyword optimization tool WordStream bolstered its efforts to remain independent by raising $9 million in Series C financing in July 2014 Several point solutions were acquired by enterprise content marketers to bring selected campaign management capabilities in house For example in May 2014 WalmartLabs bought PLA management tool Adchemy while AOL purchased attribution tool Convertro

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform capabilitiesVirtually all enterprise paid media campaign management platforms now offer a core set of paid media tools and capabilities that focus on

bull Automated bid management and optimizationbull Multichannel attribution modelsbull Campaign and creative optimization andbull Campaign performance analytics and reporting

The platforms begin to differentiate by offering more advanced capabilities that include ndash but are not limited to ndash the following

bull Intra-hourly bid adjustmentsbull Multichannel media support and data integrationbull SDKs for mobile app tracking andbull Support for multiple search ad formats (ie PLAs RLSAs Google Voice)

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel media support

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels This includes more seamless integration of their first-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media In response paid media campaign management platforms now support a wider array of media Automated workflow and bidding processes are available to manage budgets and staff resources across multiple digital channels The majority of vendors profiled in this report fully manage ad creation bidding analytics and reporting for the media that they support in each of these digital channels

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

M A R K E T I N T E L L I G E N C E R E P O R T

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

profit etc) Do you have other clients in my vertical bull Do you work with international search engines and support multi-byte character sets (if

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

and statisticians

Testingbull Is landing page and creative testing available What type (AB or multivariate)bull Are there any limitations to using outside landing page or creative testing products (ie

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform capabilitiesVirtually all enterprise paid media campaign management platforms now offer a core set of paid media tools and capabilities that focus on

The platforms begin to differentiate by offering more advanced capabilities that include ndash but are not limited to ndash the following

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

Selected introductions of search ad formatsMarch 2014 Product Ads (Bing)

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform capabilitiesVirtually all enterprise paid media campaign management platforms now offer a core set of paid media tools and capabilities that focus on

bull Automated bid management and optimizationbull Multichannel attribution modelsbull Campaign and creative optimization andbull Campaign performance analytics and reporting

The platforms begin to differentiate by offering more advanced capabilities that include ndash but are not limited to ndash the following

bull Intra-hourly bid adjustmentsbull Multichannel media support and data integrationbull SDKs for mobile app tracking andbull Support for multiple search ad formats (ie PLAs RLSAs Google Voice)

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel media support

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels This includes more seamless integration of their first-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media In response paid media campaign management platforms now support a wider array of media Automated workflow and bidding processes are available to manage budgets and staff resources across multiple digital channels The majority of vendors profiled in this report fully manage ad creation bidding analytics and reporting for the media that they support in each of these digital channels

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Paid media market trendsThe enterprise paid media campaign management market is being driven by a number of important trends including

1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The following sections discuss each of these trends in more depth

Trend 1 Increasing depth and breadth of mobile management tools

With one quarter of all search inquiries now coming from mobile devices ndash according to BIAKelsey ndash accurate and efficient management of mobile search bidding tracking and measurement is a necessity for search marketers

Previously paid media campaign management platform vendors re-engineered their software to optimize bid multipliers for mobile keywords Several 2014 platform releases featured tools such as ldquoMobile Bid Adjustmentsrdquo to more accurately automate the mobile bid multiplier that search advertisers could use in their Enhanced Campaigns Other platforms incorporated new optimization software to identify the influence of mobile keywords on desktop and tablet CPCs to allow advertisers to place more cost-effective bids

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market In August 2014 IgnitionOne acquired Human Demand a mobile demand-side platform (DSP) which enables its clients to do programmatic buying specifically for mobile

Adobe Marin and Kenshoo are among vendors that now offer software developer kits (SDKs) that extensively track in-app transaction usage and conversion data and link it to source keywords and ads SDKs facilitate mobile measurement including more accurate channel attribution modeling

Geographic targeting also has become more sophisticated Among the features available are radius-level geo-targeting to create manage and optimize local campaigns as well as location-specific analytics and bid modifiers for manual or algorithm-based optimization The goal is to implement dayparting strategies that more accurately engage mobile consumers with relevant ads at optimal times

Trend 2 Search advertisers vendors try to keep pace with changing ad formats

Enhanced Campaigns Google Shopping PLAs and Local Inventory Ads Bing Shopping Ads Google Voice Yahoo Gemini Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) App Engagement Ads Dynamic Search Ads Call-Only Ads ndash search ad formats continue to evolve Industry experts estimate that for some retail brands Google Shopping PLAs now comprise as much as 30 of digital marketing budgets PLAs appear in their own box on Google search results pages above or to the right of organic search results Search results on Google Shopping are built on PLAs and allow shoppers to compare and purchase products directly from their store on the site

Vendors have become more aggressive however viewing mobile capabilities as a key differentiator in what is becoming a consolidated paid media campaign management software market

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

Behind many of these changes is a fundamental shift from keyword-focused search advertising to device-neutral audience-driven campaign decision making RLSAs for example combine visitor website behavior with subsequent search queries on Google Advertisers can customize search ad campaigns for people who have previously visited their sites and tailor bids and ads to those visitors when theyrsquore searching on Google

Yahoo introduced Yahoo Gemini an ad marketplace for mobile search and native advertising in February 2014 Available through the Yahoo Ad Manager Yahoo Gemini allows search advertisers to buy manage and optimize their mobile search and native ad spend in a unified marketplace

Campaign management platform vendors have responded by increasing their support of multiple search ad formats Several vendors profiled in this report offer shopping campaign support for both Google and Bing as well as Google Shopping management capabilities that leverage bidding and semantic optimization Product feeds have become integral to this process with vendors offering feed-driven solutions that connect with backend inventory systems to automatically create ads based on in-stock products and seasonal pricing and promotions More vendors offer DMP integration (or a built-in DMP) to facilitate segmentation and intent-based audience building

Trend 3 Big Data brings predictive analytics to search

The proliferation of search ad formats and channels has resulted in search marketers collecting measuring analyzing and reporting on more data than ever before Both marketers and paid media campaign management platform vendors are looking to machine learning in the form of predictive analytics to unlock the opportunities ndash and challenges ndash that Big Data has brought with it

For example predictive real-time bidding for Googlersquos Enhanced Campaigns now automatically optimizes bids by location timeseasonality and device at both the ad group and campaign levels Some vendors offer predictive real-time bidding based on inventory changes andor revenue capacity Bid modifiers also are rapidly changing with dimensional modeling by device geography (location) audience time of day and day of the week becoming available through paid media campaign management platform vendors

Marketers and vendors also are focused on optimizing their paid media mix through the creation of ldquocustomer-level data storesrdquo By combining and analyzing first- and third-party data from publishers data sellers and marketersrsquo internal CRMs vendors are using predictive media models to maximize client ROI in each paid media channel

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

M A R K E T I N T E L L I G E N C E R E P O R T

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel media support

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels This includes more seamless integration of their first-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media In response paid media campaign management platforms now support a wider array of media Automated workflow and bidding processes are available to manage budgets and staff resources across multiple digital channels The majority of vendors profiled in this report fully manage ad creation bidding analytics and reporting for the media that they support in each of these digital channels

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

profit etc) Do you have other clients in my vertical bull Do you work with international search engines and support multi-byte character sets (if

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform capabilitiesVirtually all enterprise paid media campaign management platforms now offer a core set of paid media tools and capabilities that focus on

bull Intra-hourly bid adjustmentsbull Multichannel media support and data integrationbull SDKs for mobile app tracking andbull Support for multiple search ad formats (ie PLAs RLSAs Google Voice)

The following section discusses some of these capabilities and the key considerations involved in choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platform (see Table 5)

Multichannel media support

As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers are looking for a more integrated approach to managing campaigns across channels This includes more seamless integration of their first-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media In response paid media campaign management platforms now support a wider array of media Automated workflow and bidding processes are available to manage budgets and staff resources across multiple digital channels The majority of vendors profiled in this report fully manage ad creation bidding analytics and reporting for the media that they support in each of these digital channels

Multichannel attribution

Virtually all of the platforms profiled in this report offer some level of conversion attribution that uses machine learning to assign value to different touch points along the conversion path The goal is to more effectively allocate spending across paid media channels The platforms begin to differentiate by the number of attribution models available and the advanced capabilities they provide Several platforms offer sophisticated attribution systems that integrate campaign data from multiple digital (ie search display and social) and offline channels (namely click-to-call tracking from a search ad back to a dealer or franchise location) Many platforms now provide customizable attribution models that include first click last click equal weight or time decayed

Bid management and optimization Intra-hourly bidding

A key differentiator among platforms is the frequency of bid updates which includes how often data is refreshed and how often bids can be adjusted Today several paid media campaign management platforms offer intraday or even intra-hourly bidding updates that allow the system to adjust bids several times per hour or day These capabilities vary from

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

profit etc) Do you have other clients in my vertical bull Do you work with international search engines and support multi-byte character sets (if

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

Attribution modelsbull What conversion attribution models do you use and offer Is it included in the base pricebull Can we do search-based attribution as well as attribution across channelsbull Do you employ or work closely with a well-qualified team of PhD-holding mathematicians

and statisticians

Testingbull Is landing page and creative testing available What type (AB or multivariate)bull Are there any limitations to using outside landing page or creative testing products (ie

conversions or site analytics such as ldquotime on siterdquobull How flexible is data manipulation and importexportbull Is an API available for reporting and for uploading offline conversionsbull Can we consolidate reporting across channels seamlessly (ie without the added steps

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

system update to support new functionalitybull Has there been any down timebull What is the most useful actionable (favorite) report the tool generatesbull What do you wish they did differentlybull Why would you recommend this tool

Although not all vendors require an annual contract many do Once yoursquove selected a vendor be sure to get in writing a list of what technology and support are covered in the contract Ask about what kinds of additional fees might come up Are there charges for custom integrations if so how much What is the hourly charge for engineering services and is there a minimum What partner organizations are available to install and integrate the tool If you need to train a new hire midyear what will that cost What is the ldquooutrdquo clause Obtaining the answers up front ndash and having them in writing ndash will ensure fewer surprises or additional costs down the road

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

M A R K E T I N T E L L I G E N C E R E P O R T

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

profit etc) Do you have other clients in my vertical bull Do you work with international search engines and support multi-byte character sets (if

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

Choosing an enterprise paid media campaign management platformThe benefits of automating paid media campaign management

The paid media marketing landscape has become increasingly complex as the speed of search engine algorithms and development changes accelerate and marketers demand more integrated channel capabilities Automating paid media campaign management through an enterprise platform can improve efficiency and productivity by providing the following benefits

bullWorkflow efficiency Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids An automated paid media platform can simplify day-to-day campaign management and reporting

bull Increased productivity By freeing up time once spent on manual tasks managing keywords bids and campaigns search marketers can spend more time on creative aspects of their campaigns such as testing ads or landing pages

bull Integrated view of digital marketing As the breadth of paid media channels increases advertisers need a more holistic view of their campaigns across channels Automating campaign management can lead to more seamless integration of first- and third-party digital and offline data through interconnected campaigns in search mobile displayretargeting and social media

bull Improved campaign performance Paid media technology optimizes bidding potentially increasing performance and campaign ROI through a more intelligent allocation of dollars To reap these benefits marketers need to carefully evaluate platforms to find the best fit and the one they agree will not only improve campaign performance but also increase efficiency

bullStreamlined reporting Reporting functions and capabilities are built into most paid media campaign management platforms reducing the amount of time spent on (and errors that can creep into) manual reporting Automated reporting can be a huge benefit for agencies that must report to multiple clients with different needs and for marketers who create internal reports

bullScalability Many marketers find that their paid media marketing programs are growing and becoming more time-consuming without automating manual tasks Most platforms are built to handle the uploading and management of millions of keywords across the search engines as well as multichannel campaigns in social and display advertising

Enterprise paid media campaign management platform pricing

Virtually every paid media platform vendor licenses its technology on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis the technology is hosted by the vendor and customers log into a web-based dashboard to utilize the system Customers license the use of the technology on a monthly basis although the majority of vendors require an annual contract Because of the increasingly complex nature of data integration and the varying levels of service required few vendors publish their fee structures However it is typically based on a percentage of ad spend with the percentage decreasing as the spend increases

Workloads can reach unmanageable levels when you have to manage site links product extensions retargeting and support for Facebook and other social marketing platforms in addition to managing ad groups ad copy keyword lists and bids

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

M A R K E T I N T E L L I G E N C E R E P O R T

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

profit etc) Do you have other clients in my vertical bull Do you work with international search engines and support multi-byte character sets (if

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

Attribution modelsbull What conversion attribution models do you use and offer Is it included in the base pricebull Can we do search-based attribution as well as attribution across channelsbull Do you employ or work closely with a well-qualified team of PhD-holding mathematicians

and statisticians

Testingbull Is landing page and creative testing available What type (AB or multivariate)bull Are there any limitations to using outside landing page or creative testing products (ie

Optimizely AdAlysis Unbounce)

Reportingbull Can we get a custom view of our campaigns with features like labels or filtersbull Can we use existing conversion tracking tags that are already on our site or do we need to

implement a new tag to start using the toolbull How quickly are conversions reported on and how quickly does data flow from the

engines bull Can we run summary reports across all accounts and the different engines bull Can we view changes made by users and by the bidding system bull Can we compare date ranges to detect trends and view the impact of changes on

performancebull How many metrics are available for reporting Can we optimize by metrics such as types of

conversions or site analytics such as ldquotime on siterdquobull How flexible is data manipulation and importexportbull Is an API available for reporting and for uploading offline conversionsbull Can we consolidate reporting across channels seamlessly (ie without the added steps

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Recommended steps to making an informed purchase

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process The following section outlines four steps to help your organization begin that process and choose the campaign management platform that is the right fit for your business needs and goals

Step One Do you need an enterprise paid media campaign management platform

Deciding whether or not your company needs an enterprise-level campaign management platform calls for the same evaluative steps involved in any software adoption including a comprehensive self-assessment of your organizationrsquos business needs staff capabilities management support and financial resources Use the following questions as a guideline to determine the answers

1 Does it make more sense to buy or build the technology Issues to consider include resources ndash both staffing and financial ndash as well as data control Are you comfortable with a third party having access to your data Do you understand the total cost of ownership of a third-party platform Can your internal staff keep pace with the rapid pace of changes in ad formats search engine requirements and tracking methods

2 What features are most important for our business needs If yoursquore an online retailer robust bid optimization for millions of keywords towards a CPA goal will be an important factor If yoursquore a B2B marketer focused on lead generation a platform that can optimize based on CPL targets will be a key capability Other companies that are short on internal resources may find that a partner with a full-service approach is critical Make sure you have gathered all of the relevant feedback from your team so that you can prioritize your criteria

3 Who will use andor maintain the platform Staffing is key to the successful adoption of any digital marketing platform Without the proper skilled people in place the tool can end up becoming an expensive reservoir of untapped data with unfulfilled potential to increase revenue and improve user experiences

4 Do we need self serve full service or something in between Different platform vendors provide different levels of customer service and strategic consulting services For example can you internally manage keyword creation landing page optimization bidding ad text testing account structure development integration with site analytics and integration with cross-channel data Itrsquos important to have an idea of where you fall on the spectrum

5 Are we spending more time lsquodoing the mathrsquo than running a campaign If you find yourself with no time to manage creative or evaluate overall campaign performance it might be time to automate

6 Do we want or need to integrate display and social media advertising campaigns For many marketers paid media marketing now includes search display and social media If this is true for your organization you may need a platform that can integrate these channels and you may need better internal alignment across teams to make it work

7 Do we have complex or ongoing reporting needs When marketing staff or agency clients have requests for specific reports and ongoing reporting needs campaign management tools can automate reports across all the major search engines and social networks

Understanding your current marketing processes knowing how to measure success and being able to identify where you are looking for improvements are all critical pieces of the paid media campaign management platform decision-making process

M A R K E T I N T E L L I G E N C E R E P O R T

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

profit etc) Do you have other clients in my vertical bull Do you work with international search engines and support multi-byte character sets (if

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons

Attribution modelsbull What conversion attribution models do you use and offer Is it included in the base pricebull Can we do search-based attribution as well as attribution across channelsbull Do you employ or work closely with a well-qualified team of PhD-holding mathematicians

and statisticians

Testingbull Is landing page and creative testing available What type (AB or multivariate)bull Are there any limitations to using outside landing page or creative testing products (ie

Optimizely AdAlysis Unbounce)

Reportingbull Can we get a custom view of our campaigns with features like labels or filtersbull Can we use existing conversion tracking tags that are already on our site or do we need to

implement a new tag to start using the toolbull How quickly are conversions reported on and how quickly does data flow from the

engines bull Can we run summary reports across all accounts and the different engines bull Can we view changes made by users and by the bidding system bull Can we compare date ranges to detect trends and view the impact of changes on

performancebull How many metrics are available for reporting Can we optimize by metrics such as types of

conversions or site analytics such as ldquotime on siterdquobull How flexible is data manipulation and importexportbull Is an API available for reporting and for uploading offline conversionsbull Can we consolidate reporting across channels seamlessly (ie without the added steps

of data transfers and reconciling multiple reports to get real-time de-duplicated cross-channel reporting)

bull Can we dive deeper to extract information such as search queries reporting on site links reporting by label and budget pacing

bull Is web query functionality available

Pricing and customer servicebull How long will it take to deploy the platformbull Are there additional fees (ie set-up costs add-on features API quotas) bull Do you offer a free trial bull Who pays if your systemteam makes an error bull Will we have a dedicated resource Who will be the day-to-day contact bull What is the level of support included in the price What support is additionalbull Will our support team work with us to test new features and assess the resultsbull What is the minimum contract length Is there a short-term contract or an lsquooutrsquo clause if

things donrsquot work out bull Will there be an increase in price when I renew next year ndash if so how much

Step Four Check references negotiate a contract

Before deciding on a particular vendor take the time to speak with several customer references preferably individuals in a business similar to yours The platform vendor should be able to supply you with several references if you cannot identify ones yourself Use this opportunity to ask any additional questions and to find out more about any questions that werenrsquot answered during the demo Make sure that the person yoursquove been referred to is someone who is a primary user of the platform Consider also asking these basic questions

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

8 How will we define and then benchmark success What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you want to measure and what decisions will you be making based on campaign performance For example do you want to measure increases in search engine rankings Or the impact display retargeting has on website conversion Set your business goals in advance to be able to benchmark success later on Without them justifying the expense of the platform or paid media marketing programs to C-suite executives will be difficult

9 What is the total cost of ownership Paid media campaign management platform vendors typically charge clients a percentage of their monthly advertising spend There may be additional fees for platform set-up integration or staff training Professional consulting services may also be available if you need additional expertise in paid media channels such as display and social media marketing

Step Two Identify and contact appropriate vendors

Once you have determined that an enterprise paid media campaign management platform makes sense for your business spend time researching individual vendors and their capabilities Make a list of all the paid media capabilities you currently have those that you would like to have and those that you canrsquot live without This last category is critical and will help you avoid making a costly mistake

For example whether or not to choose a full-service platform versus an ad text or bid optimization point solution or an independent vendor versus a tool owned by a large organization can be an important factor for some marketers If you have already invested in other tools offered by a large company (eg Adobe Analytics or Googlersquos DoubleClick for Advertisers) you may prefer to use the respective companyrsquos campaign management platform for ease of integration On the other hand if you are willing or able to use an independent platform such as SearchForce or Acquisio you may like being able to choose the best fit regardless of the other digital marketing platforms you are using

Take your list of capabilities and then do some research Speak to your marketing peers at industry events to find out who is using which paid media campaign platform and why The ldquoResourcesrdquo section at the back of this report includes a list of blogs reports and industry research that will also help (Many of the vendors profiled in this report also provide white papers and interactive tools that can help)

Once yoursquove done the necessary research narrow your list down to those vendors that meet your criteria Submit your list of the campaign management capabilities yoursquove identified and set a timeframe for them to reply Whether or not you choose to do this in a formal RFIRFP process is an individual preference however be sure to give the same list of capabilities to each vendor to facilitate comparison The most effective RFPs only request relevant information and provide ample information about your business and its paid media marketing needs It should reflect high-level strategic goals and KPIs For example mention your companyrsquos most important KPIs and how you will evaluate the success of your paid media campaigns Include details about timelines and the existing digital technology you have deployed

When written properly an RFP will facilitate the sales process and ensure that everyone involved on both sides come to a shared understanding of the purpose requirements scope and structure of the intended purchase From the RFP responses you should be able to narrow your list down to three or four platforms that yoursquoll want to demo

Before deciding on a particular vendor speak with one or two customer references preferably someone in a business similar to yours

Enterprise Paid Media Campaign Management Platforms 2015 A Marketerrsquos Guide

Step Three Scheduling the demo

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons Make sure that all potential internal users are on the demo call and include the following types of questions in your discussion

Business goalsusabilitybull Does the vendor seem to understand our business and our marketing needsbull Are they showing us our ldquomust-haverdquo featuresbull Is the system intuitive and easy to learnbull Is the underlying infrastructure reliable for large sets of databull How difficult is integration and dis-integration bull How long does the onboarding process typically take and how experienced is the person

team that will be leading that integration bull Will there be a project manager Will anyone on the team be on vacation during the period

wersquore aiming to onboardbull Does your system support my specific business objectives (branding revenue margin

profit etc) Do you have other clients in my vertical bull Do you work with international search engines and support multi-byte character sets (if

applicable) bull Whatrsquos on the product roadmap

Workflow and campaign managementbull Does your system allow us to go into AdWords Bing Ads and other accounts and make

manual changes when necessarybull Can we make changes easily in the UI in bulk upload sheets or directly on the enginebull Does the platform support features reporting tracking and API data imports offered by

the different enginesbull Can we set up rules to automate changes and send alerts when specific criteria are met bull How easy is it to connect and integrate our business data into the platformrsquos end-to-end

campaign management Can we add offlineevent-based conversions bull Can we sync campaigns with our physical inventory automatically including creatingediting

campaigns based on inventory

Bid optimization capabilitiesbull What type of bid optimization does the platform use bull Do I have full transparency into bid recommendations including the rationale for bids the

ability to preview or override intended bids and the ability to exclude keywords from bid strategies altogether

bull Is your bidding technology highly adaptive with self-learning cycles for holidays trends sales promotions etc

bull Is your bidding technology built to optimize for CPL and CPA targets (An agency for example may need to accommodate both And if CPL targeting is required ask specifically how that gets set up and optimized)

bull How often are algorithms updated

Multichannel and integration capabilitiesbull What do you offer beyond bid managementbull With which search engines social platforms and display partners do you workbull How do you handle on-site analytics and SEO (ie through API integration pixel tracking

etc) Does the platform integrate with our web analytics platform (ie Google Analytics Adobe Analytics)

bull How does the platform handle returnsoffline transactionsother special needs bull Are there any Shopping Campaign optimization capabilities beyond bid management

Set up demos with your short list of vendors relatively quickly after receiving the RFP responses to help make relevant comparisons
