For Addressable TV to really take off, don’t look at media, don’t look at creative… look at consumer insights research

10/12/2020

0 Comments

 

True insights into your customers' drivers is now needed more than ever!

If I were 20 years younger and still in media, I would be all over Addressable TV like white on rice as they say. As an ex-creative (2 Addies) and a 30-year media and strategic planning veteran I can’t imagine a more exciting medium than Addressable TV. Addressable TV is like a dream come true: you deliver the right creative to the right audience in a customized way.
Picture
Right now, as this article in Media Village (www.bit.ly/3lvZKHg) points out, there are three ways in which Addressable TV can be bought:
  • 'Single Advertiser Spot Optimization' (SASO): One Addressable advertiser buys the ad unit in its entirety. That advertiser can run multiple versions of creative based on the demographic/ geographic/ psychographic profile of the household.
  • ‘Multiple Advertiser Spot Optimization’ (MASO): Where a single ad unit is split between multiple advertisers based on their audience targets.
  • ‘Aggregation’ which is "basically throwing everything together and mashing it all up".
At the core of Addressable TV lies the advertiser’s ability to fully understand what the right message is for every specific audience and delivering on it. But there are two “must haves” if Addressable TV is going to work.

No… it’s not media! Media people are not typically at the core of the real benefits of Addressable TV… they are just not called into the messaging function.

“Must Have #1”

Real research into the consumer insights that matter… because a lot of conventional research doesn’t really detect what is relevant and to what extent for each segment.

The worst example in the world.

We recently filled out a survey done by a well-known supermarket chain: “On a scale of 1 to 5… how do you rate our cashiers?” Well, I certainly love their cashiers… super nice people, always with a smile, very efficient. Now, ask me just how relevant are they for me to choose that supermarket and the answer is zero. They don’t influence me at all.

A completely different approach.

At CEO Analytics we’ve pioneered the use of Disassociated Conjoint Analysis and sliders to really understand not only what is relevant to each group, but also to what extent. So, for example, working with a very well know weight loss guru we were able to identify 3 factors that were really important to those in the mailing list that had not purchased in the past year vs. those who were steady customers.

Along the way we did other cool stuff:
  • Predicted what kind of programming a TV network should produce in order to improve their ratings (and even identified which program would be a hit with a younger audience that they weren’t even measuring.
  • Identified the two unique attractions for older consumers for a Hamburger franchise.
  • And more
“Must Have #2”

Creatives, are an integral part of the messaging eco-system, but can’t bear all of the responsibility of Addressable TV. Why? While creatives pilot the messaging, they also depend on their copilots to tell them what is important or not to their target consumers.

At CEO Analytics we realized, early on, that all the data in the world doesn’t help much unless you can transform it into intelligence quickly and effectively, so we took pains to create dashboards that allowed anyone in your team, no matter how “techie” he/she is, to quickly understand any group. Among some of the more “fun” charts
:
  • Four dimensional graphs that quickly allow anyone to see how alike or dissimilar the different targets are for any pair of variables AND for any target at the same time.
  • Drillable heat maps that show the variables affecting any one factor but shows all the factors in relative size and important to each other
  • And, again, many more, plus we will create any chart or visualization that a client finds useful

For Addressable TV to work it needs way better understanding of what really drives each target AND the ability to transform that understanding into actionable intelligence. I believe that, at CEO Analytics, we have cracked that particular code. So, can we help you? I don’t know, probably yes, but it begins by dropping us a line: msalup@ceo-analytics.com

WARC reports that “Nearly 90% of consumers have changed their behaviour because of COVID-19” and David Kenny, CEO/chief diversity officer at Nielsen said in a recent presentation at the IAB: “Existing models, he continued, also rely on past behaviour, which may not apply in the new environment. “Patterns are changing so quickly that we can’t rely on those models,”

Is your current research misleading you?

How do you feel about the cashiers in your local grocery store?

We recently filled out a survey...
... by a well-known national grocery chain. Among the questions: “On a scale of 1 to 5, how personable are our cashiers?” Of course we had to give them a solid “5”. The cashiers at that particularly grocery store are great! They are nice people, smile, say “hello” and “thank you”…

Now, ask me, however, how important are those cashiers to you? The answer is a solid “0”.

But somewhere, there is a CMO congratulating himself and saying "... got a solid 5 on the cashiers! High five!" without realizing that his research is misleading him.

You want loyalty? Find out what your consumers truly love. Or get a dog.

Four key findings from the Nielsen article "Battle of the Brands: Consumer Disloyalty is Sweeping the Globe:

Only 8% of global consumers are commited to the brands they purchase. Their take: "It's critical for brands and retailers alike... to better understand what these consumers prioritize". We say it is critical to understand what your customer truly love.

If price used to be the most important factor, that's no longer the case. Price promotion as a choice driver is proving to be less important to shoppers. We say, seriously, understand what your customers truly love because price is not the only driver and discounts are costing you a lot!

Brands should allow prospects the opportunity to provide feedback. We say: CEO Analytics combines the power of Disassociated Conjoint Analysis and predictive algorithms so that the feedback you get is 100% unbiased and accurate.

The bottom line in today’s market is that established companies can no longer rely on the heritage of their household names to keep customers coming back for more. With an overwhelming 92% of global consumers stating that they don’t consider themselves brand loyal, the halos above well-known brands are losing their radiance. We say, don't waste any time, email us for a free one-hour no pressure friendly consultation: info@ceo-bi-analytics.com

Can data give you wisdom? Ours will.

Will the "new" CMOs find that data is enough?

A recent article in MediaPost stated: The most successful brands will use this data-driven marketing approach to better understand customers and uncover what drives, inspires, motivates and engages them.

May we suggest that instead of trying to uncover all of that, you focus on the one single thing that will drive sales? Love.

If you are the CMO of a medium-to-large organization which deals with hundreds of thousands of transactions in several retail locations, perhaps the data you should be looking at is not what your customers want... but what they LOVE and are willing to spend money on.

So we agree with the same MediaPost article when it says: Shifting consumer expectations have changed the fundamental elements of the modern CMO role to be one that fuses traditional marketing areas — creativity, branding, strategy, etc. — with growing amounts of data.

CEO Analytics combines advanced mathematics and predictive models to unearth what your customers love and are eager to spend money on. Give us a call for a no-pressure, no-hard-sell conversation on how we can make your life easier and your business richer. Email us at info@ceo-bi-analytics.com

How would you like your cruise line to be as engaging as The Love Boat?

1/13/2019

0 Comments

 

Captain Stubing had nothing on us.

From May 1977 to May 1986 America had a weekly date with The Love Boat. Captain Stubing and his crew certainly knew what their passengers loved. And so do we.

If there is one industry where knowing what your customers love vs. what they merely want is important, it is the cruise line industry.

To begin with... you only get one vacation per year. So you spend all your money --and available time-- in that single vacation. If you don't absolutely love it... no way you are going to repeat it next year!

Second, when it comes to massive cruising, there is a perception among people who've taken 2+ cruises that apart from "some details here some details there" most giant cruise lines are interchangeable. So there is the very real danger of creating a commodity from what is an expensive decision. So, yes, most cruise passengers are repeat passengers but not necessarily with the same cruise line.

Finding what your best passengers love about your ships is not only crucial, it is a very cost-effective competitive advantage.

So here’s our challenge: if you are a cruise line, call us for a no-pressure, no-hard sell conversation. We’d love to show you how love will make a difference. Drop us an email at info@ceo-bi-analytics.com

Comedians love airline jokes. Trust us, it's not out of love.

1/13/2019

Are we forgetting the human dimension?

Normally, we have the highest respect for McKinsey. We are avid readers of their newsletters, quarterly summaries and everything else they fling our way.

But one thing we did not see in this article is "Make the passenger love you".

We often joke that airlines are the one business where customers hate you and you still make money. However, what would happen if a major airlines ever tried to make passengers love them? Can an airline even be loved?

A passenger with a positive emotional connection with the airline will tend to use it more, be happier, not cause any trouble, refer it to friends... everything that will make the airline more profitable. Who knows, even comedians would stop making cliché airline jokes!

So here’s our challenge: CEO Analytics unearths what your customers really love and are eager to pay money for. If you are an airline, call us for a no-hard sell, no-pressure conversation. We’d love to tackle this one and, who knows, maybe you’ll be the first airline these days to be truly loved.
