Adweek awarded the multichannel CPG campaign for Best Use of Mobile Media. (August 20, 2024) Exverus Media's CPG marketing campaign for Stella & Chewy's, " America's Next Top Petfluencer" , has been awarded Adweek Media Plan of the Year 2024 for Best Use of Mobile among campaigns of its size. The raw pet food brand needed to expand into big-box retailers while maintaining strong relationships with the neighborhood pet stores that launched it. So their longtime media planning team at Exverus designed a multi-channel sweepstakes that would drive customers into their local pet stores. Excerpt from Adweek: Digital ads encouraged people to submit their cutest pet photos for a chance to win a prize package. Exverus worked with social influencers and boosted posts targeting pet parents...while QR codes sent people on scavenger hunts to their neighborhood pet shops. Contest participation reached 75%, triple the benchmark. The campaign reached 16.8 million target consumers and lifted foot traffic by 33%! Thousands of entrants opted in to future promotions, collecting invaluable first-party data.

Our media buying experts' key takeaways from the Snap Partner Summit 2024 Did you know Snapchat (the social media platform owned by Snap, Inc.) has a user base of 850 million users worldwide?! If you thought Snapchat was just a small niche app for kids, it's time to start thinking of it as a bona fide advertising platform that can grow your business. But how do Snapchat ads work? Fun facts: 75% of people come to Snapchat to interact with their closest circle of family and friends, and... 92% of consumers trust recommendations from friends and family above all other forms of advertising! That's a really significant opportunity to influence your target audience, especially if they're predominantly Gen Z. Snapchat offers two ad creation options : Instant Create:  For quick and easy ads, upload your creative and select your audience and budget. Create your ad in just a few minutes. Advanced Create:  For more complex campaigns, use this option to create multiple ad sets with advanced targeting and bidding capabilities. To measure and optimize your campaigns, use the Snap Pixel to track performance and make data-driven decisions. At Exverus, our professional social media advertisers have close relationships with Snap to build the most comprehensive and effective campaigns for our clients. Snap Partner Summit 2024 Highlights Our VP of performance marketing and paid social director attended the 2024 Snap Partner Summit in the Bay Area and came back with invaluable learnings for media buyers and brand marketers: Snap highlighted their growing user base of 850 million users worldwide, who send more than 1 billion monthly snaps to each other. Company executives unveiled their new  Simple Snapchat  User Interface, which looks to simplify the design of the Snapchat mobile app to make the user experience seamless and easy to navigate. Snap also announced development of their proprietary AI tools for designers/developers to easily create AR lenses and filters on the platform. Most notably, the company unveiled their 5th generation of  Snapchat Spectacles , which create a unique VR user experience that blends Snap's AR technology into the user's real world surroundings. "For the first time in history, we've made transition lenses cool." -- Evan Spiegel, CEO Snap Inc. Key Snapchat Ads Partnerships Hulu x SambaTV x Snapchat Ads Hulu and SambaTV showcased their partnership to drive a full funnel measurement approach with Snapchat ads , allowing Hulu to target new-to-brand users on Snapchat while measuring tune-in lift on the backend using SambaTVs automated content recognition (ACR) technology. Sports & AR Snap highlighted the wide application capability of their AR Lens technology with partnerships across professional sports, including the NBA, LA Rams, and Suni Lee (American Gold Medal Gymnast). Snap is enhancing the fan experiences with athletes behind the scenes, in stadium, and everywhere fans are engaging with sports. Live Music Snap discussed partnerships with Live Nation and artists (including Billie Eilish and Partynextdoor), showcasing how the platform allows users to intimately engage with their favorite artist, strengthening that bond and driving a deeper connection for advertisers in the music industry. Snapchat extends the reach of concerts beyond attendees and allows artists to communicate authentically with their audiences. 3 Things marketers should know about Snapchat Creativity is alive and well!  Authentic and fun experiences make Snapchat unique. Creators and developers continue to raise the bar for content and experiences on the platform, which will provide better media innovation and new opportunities for brands. Add Snapchat to your existing social media mix:  Snapchat is a key part of social media -- it's not a replacement for other platforms, but rather an additive to build brands and deliver business results.  Run A/B tests and connect ads to retailers for driving lower-funnel conversions after capturing upper-funnel attention. Our own social media advertisers are excited to brainstorm ideas of new Snap activations for Exverus clients in 2025 & beyond! What will your team create?

Some marketers feel uncertain about programmatic bidding -- we'll put you at ease. Programmatic advertising is quickly becoming the preferred modus operandi  for digital media buying. In fact, EMARKETER predicts that 91.3% of US digital display advertising will be bought programmatically in 2024! But recent third-party reports suggest ads from major brands are appearing next to harmful content, even with AI-powered brand safety tools in place. That's got some people feeling concerned about the safety of programmatic display advertising more generally, which is understandable!   Brand safety, brand suitability, and ad-budget stewardship are the highest priorities at Exverus.    Here are a few ways we're reaping the benefits of two common types of programmatic auctions while avoiding the risks.  What are the 4 types of programmatic advertising exchanges? What is the difference between PMP and OE deals? What are the pros and cons of the open exchange? What are the pros and cons of PMP deals? How we safely navigate programmatic bidding First, let's level-set on some definitions of how programmatic buying works: What are the 4 types of programmatic advertising exchanges? Open exchanges (OE), or open marketplace Private marketplace (PMP) deals Preferred deals (PD) Programmatic guarantee deals (PG) Let’s zero in on the pros and cons of private marketplace (PMP) vs. open exchange (OE) deals and clear up some of the misconceptions about each. What is the difference between PMP and OE? A private marketplace (PMP)   is a digital marketplace where publishers can connect directly with a select audience of media buyers for premium ad inventory and set up individual, guaranteed deals... ...whereas open exchange (OE) bids are public, automated real-time bidding (RTB) auctions open to all buyers and sellers through display-side platforms (DSPs) for ad buyers and supply-side platforms (SSPs) for ad sellers. As with all media planning decisions, choosing the right inventory and exchange type depends upon your campaign goals. Here are some considerations to weigh: What are the pros and cons of the open exchange? The benefits of open-exchange bids include wider reach and scale, more robust data collection, optimization levers, more audiences, and cost-effectiveness.    Concerns around the open-exchange include limited transparency, privacy compliance, and brand safety.  What are the pros and cons of private marketplace deals? PMP deals offer access to higher quality ad inventory, more transparency, and more precise targeting.   On the other hand, private marketplaces have limited inventory and thus less audience data to collect, fewer optimization levers and higher costs.  So, which is better? "There is no one-size-fits-all solution for how to transact and activate programmatic media", says Hillary Kupferberg , Exverus VP of performance media. "It is essential to have strong knowledge and a strategic approach to programmatic inventory and supply paths. Each exchange type has nuances but the goal is to maximize transparency and efficiency in brand suitable environments." How we safely navigate programmatic bidding: Publisher inclusion & exclusion lists  created by us in DoubleVerify supersede any automated content partners.  Avoiding user-generated content (UGC)  and made-for-advertising (MFA) sites, which are unmoderated and ripe for questionable content. Continuous monitoring of ad placements for factors like viewability, fraud, contextual relevance, and quality of environment.

Time for the advertising industry to get serious about sustainability. Here are a few ways brands and agencies can pitch in and reduce their digital footprint. Digital advertising leaves a carbon footprint the industry is only starting to address. In fact, programmatic advertising alone is generating 215,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions globally. That's equivalent to 24 million gallons of gasoline consumed!   So what can brands, ad tech vendors, and agencies do to make their media strategy more eco-friendly and more attractive to their target audience? Why sustainable advertising matters to brands In addition to the very real effects of climate change already wreaking havoc on our planet, brands should care about sustainable media because their audience cares! Research from Harvard Business Review  shows: “When Gen Z and Millennial customers believe a brand cares about its impact on people and the planet, they are 27% more likely to purchase it than older generations are — a clear measure of sustainability’s power to drive buying decisions in this group.” By demonstrating your brand's commitment to following through with ethical practices from beginning to end of a purchase cycle, you'll resonate with Gen Z and Millennial buyers, lifting brand perceptions and increasing sales over time. Just look at Patagonia for an example! The company has an estimated value of about $3 billion dollars and brings in $100 million in revenue annually ( Pereira, 2023 ). Sustainable advertising doesn't have to cut into your business's revenue growth -- in fact, it does quite the opposite. How to build a sustainable media strategy 1. Invest in eco-efficient hardware Loading, serving, and engaging with an ad requires electricity, and efficient hardware can minimize the energy output. Companies like Dell and Microsoft offer eco-friendly options. 2. Embrace greener ad formats Opt for lightweight ad formats that load faster, minimizing energy consumption by viewers. Emissions can be reduced without sacrificing ad performance! Lightweight creatives are ads with minimal file size, like text ads or simple banner ads. While video ads can be impactful,  pre-roll ads (shown before the main content) are generally shorter and viewed at a higher rate compared to mid-roll ads (shown during the content). This translates to less energy consumption overall. Compared to video ads,   audio ads require less data transfer and processing power, making them a greener option, particularly for podcast advertising. 3. Agencies, sign the Clean Creatives Pledge ...not to work with fossil fuel companies. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres reminded us last week, all of us in the news/media/tech industries have a responsibility not to promote fossil fuels and prolong humanity's dependence upon them for profit. ( Exverus signed the pledge long ago!) Join us at CleanCreatives.org . 4. Optimize content delivery Leverage efficient content delivery networks (CDNs) that use renewable energy sources to reduce your digital footprint. A CDN is a network of servers that store and deliver content to websites and internet services to improve the speed, reliability, and security of content delivery. For examples, check out CloudFlare, Akamai, or Amazon CloudFront. 5. Join Ad Net Zero & the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) Ad Net Zero is an industry-wide initiative focused on decarbonizing the advertising sector. Their goal is to achieve net zero carbon emissions from all stages of advertising, encompassing development, production, and media placement by the year 2030. They achieve this by providing resources and promoting collaboration amongst advertising stakeholders to reduce the environmental impact of the industry. Measuring the environmental impact of advertising campaigns Speaking of Ad Net Zero: just this week, at the 2024 Cannes LIONS Festival of Creativity, Ad Net Zero announced it's been working with the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA)'s Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) to develop the Global Media Sustainability Framework  for tracking emissions. As AdExchanger  reports, "Advertisers will be able to request data from media sellers using a common form, which should make data collection more efficient. Sellers that use the framework will voluntarily share information about the provenance of data, how the data came about and the scope of the data, so it’s clear how measurements are being calculated." While measurement has traditionally focused on electricity emissions, GARM also emphasizes the importance of embodied greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions , or those that occur in the upstream stages of a product's (or in this case, an ad's) lifecycle. Learn more about the new framework here . Think climate change is too big for one person (or one company) to make a difference? No, that kind of thinking got us into this crisis in the first place! If we each do a small part, we can slow climate change without sacrificing effectiveness. And that's good for everybody. This piece originally appeared in our weekly Paid Media Insights newsletter.

Advertisers can now measure the quality of attention paid to their ads. But is it worth the investment? You can track how many people were served your ad, but how do you know they paid any attention to it? Metrics like impressions and click-through rates don’t tell the whole story, which is why many marketers are experimenting with attention metrics in advertising campaigns. In fact, a 2023 DoubleVerify study showed almost 96% of advertisers worldwide using attention metrics in at least some of their buys that year! Let’s see how the right media agency could put this valuable information to work for your brand.   What are attention metrics? Attention metrics are measurements that indicate the quality of focus or engagement a consumer gives to an advertisement; these can vary depending on the ad format and placement. The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) classifies these metrics into three main categories: Biometric Data - Tracks eye movements, facial recognition, brain waves, or heart rate Data/Device Signals - Time spent on site, scroll speed, cursor location, etc. Cognitive & Emotional Data - brand lift studies , focus groups, customer surveys, etc. Why is measuring attention important? Quality of attention can be a deeper indication of consumer interest than reach or viewability alone, offering brands better insights into which products or messages resonate best with their target audience. And, what if we could not only measure but optimize our campaigns for higher attention ?   Guess what? We can. Attention data is being used by Exverus today to place smarter programmatic bids through our partnership with DoubleVerify. Lastly, the signal loss from third-party cookie deprecation has intensified the need for advertisers to collect information about consumers’ preferences from other sources. Attention metrics are one way to fill that gap.   Challenges with attention metrics in advertising Admittedly, biometric data can be expensive to capture, and it usually comes from market research studies of consumers who opted in, but those research samples may or may not mirror your brand’s target audience. The lack of standardization across platforms also presents a challenge to advertisers comparing the effectiveness of different ad creatives or placements. Finally, the data signals publishers provide don’t always correlate with purchase intent . For example, significant time spent onsite could indicate consumer interest, or it could simply indicate a slow reader, multiple tabs open, or the person got up and walked away! These insights are meant to be a piece of the puzzle, not the whole thing. As with any new media metric on the market today, brands have to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze. According to our research, the data is showing us that impressions classified as "high attention" are getting 2 - 2.5X conversion rates above average.    And that's got our attention.

These digital advertising channels may seem unrelated, but they synergize in a media plan. If you want to advertise your brand to a large audience, you probably already want Connected TV (CTV) in your media mix, and for good reason: a recent study by the Video Advertising Bureau (VAB) found that CTV advertising generated a 20% lift in brand awareness and 10% lift in intent to purchase! But have you considered adding digital out-of-home media (DOOH) to the mix? Digital out-of-home media is a powerful way to illustrate your message in public environments like digital billboards, transit stations, and building takeovers. These installations make a powerful impact and offer advertisers much more control and data than traditional out-of-home media. DOOH media might seem unrelated to CTV, but they actually have quite a bit in common! And when paired together in a media plan, they're a dream team. So: Why Do CTV and DOOH Pair So Well? Here are a few reasons we recommend these channels to our clients: Precise Audience Targeting As a media channel, CTV is practically unmatched in its ability to target the widest possible audiences of specific demographics and behaviors. Meanwhile, DOOH can target people in a precise physical neighborhood, who often share a similar demographic, income level, and lifestyle. If a consumer sees a brand advertised on TV and subsequently on the way to the train station, that’s a one-two punch already nurturing awareness and recall. "By integrating geo-fencing into all OOH placements after an audience profile has been built, we can build a retargeting base and follow up with CTV and other digital assets." - John Hoover, SVP at NPRP Media Programmatic Buying Both media channels can be bought programmatically , which offers advertisers time- and cost-efficiency, and a holistic view of their campaign’s digital performance. Like CTV display-side platforms (DSPs), programmatic DOOH platforms can work with an advertiser’s campaign parameters to deliver ads to the right people at the right price. Interactive Ad Capabilities Shoppable CTV ads  are exploding in popularity because they shrink the path from awareness to purchase into one touchpoint. In fact, a recent study by LG showed that 51% of the 1200 CTV users surveyed said they "wish they could shop online using their TV."  Interactive elements like on-screen QR codes, text message discount codes, or voice-activated commands get viewers immediately engaged with the brand and moving toward a purchase.  The same goes for DOOH! Those engaging elements can collect invaluable data points from across multiple channels to leverage into even stronger campaigns.  "Creating touchpoints across OOH and CTV ensures the exposure is consistently getting through, which is an ideal way to take a tough-to-measure format (like OOH) and position it as a touchpoint in attribution and measurement." - John Hoover, SVP of NPRP Media   Contextual Creative Delivery “Contextual” is the magic word of the post-cookie marketing era, and these channels do contextual targeting beautifully. Brands can reach audiences via hyperlocal campaigns and even use real-time data triggers (such as current weather conditions) to deliver relevant and impactful messages. Imagine you’re a coffee brand – you could serve hot coffee ads to folks bundled up in New York and iced coffee ads to Los Angeles simultaneously! Both CTV and DOOH dynamically adapt to real-time changes : CTV adjusts ads based on user behavior, while DOOH updates content according to location and time of day. The synergy between CTV and DOOH is strengthening as programmatic DSPs integrate more capabilities into single platforms. A good media agency partner can help your brand sort out which platforms will give you the most bang for your buck! Gone are the days when brand awareness and purchase consideration were relegated to separate channels – the funnel has collapsed , and omnichannel marketing campaigns that adeptly combine the advantages of each channel come out stronger in the end.  This piece originally appeared in our weekly Paid Media Insights newsletter.
