Internet= Measurement
“Last Ad Clicked”
Through 2007 a Successful Campaign = High Click thru /Conversion Rate
Untapped Measurement
MEDIA INTERACTION: Internet

The “Last Ad Click” attributes 100% of the credit to the last click
93%-95% of audience engagements with online advertising receive no credit at all when advertisers
review campaign ROI-Atlas, Engagement Mapping 2008
Optimizations for campaigns were based on
the “Last Ad Clicked”
MEDIA INTERACTION: Internet
• The flaws of the “Last Ad Clicked”– What is the interaction between different media? How much, for
instance do search and display advertising interact?– Different ads, messages and media are employed at different points in
the conversion funnel. What touch points make the greatest impact along the way? Which make the smallest?
– How can marketers accurately reach their audience and plan campaigns if they are unable to calculate the return on investment on each of the touch points upstream of the conversion?

CAMPAIGN PATH-TO-CONVERSION: Category Summary
• With Path-to-Conversion reporting, the typical measure of conversion can no longer be based off of the “last click”─ When looking at the path of media exposure prior to the “last click,”
and attributing each vehicle with the exposures that occurred, the impact of each vehicle shifts when understanding the “events” that took place prior to the actual conversion
─ “Conversion Influenced” is anytime a site generates an impression, view or click event in a conversion path it receives credit for having an influence on the conversion
