MarTech Interview with Simon Kvist Gaulshoj, CEO, Adnami

Martech Series caught up with Simon Kvist Gaulshøj, CEO of Adnami, on the power of high impact advertising formats and what this means for the sector.

_______

Can you tell us a little about what these studies have shown?

In a nutshell they proved that high impact formats do not just capture the consumer’s attention but have the power to create an emotional connection and drive brand engagement. Dentsu UK’s Unlocking the new currency of Attention found that video on demand generated over 9,000 attentive seconds per thousand impressions, versus 249 for standard display, while OMD Denmark together with research company Userneeds found that High impact formats generated 10 times more attention per thousand impressions compared to standard display.

Can you put that into context for us?

To be successful, advertising must broadly seek to achieve three outcomes: it must stand out to grab people’s attention, it must ensure the brand and its message registers with the audience, and it must provoke recall after the event. When it comes to high impact ads, even with fleeting moments of dwell time, significant uplift is achieved in all areas. In a world where attention is the holy grail, that cannot be underestimated.

Do you anticipate these studies having an impact on the discipline?

Absolutely. It serves to verify what we already know at Adnami, and documenting this supports everything we tell our customers and clients is essential in a. Marketers know better than anyone how hard it can be to capture people’s attention when they are online, but these separate reports provide incontestable evidence that high impact, and particularly video within high impact formats, should be on every brand’s radar.

What makes high impact ads so unique?

Creativity is the single most important factor in advertising – indeed, according to a study by Nielsen Institute, an ad’s creative execution contributes to 56% of sales generated from digital advertising – but display has been reduced to nothing but a tactical performance channel, when it can be so much more – as we have proved. High impact advertising offers unlimited creativity, and it does not need to be a complex process. We offer standardisation that enables brands to buy high impact ads programmatically at scale, ensuring ease of use that effective automation can bring.

What difference does standardisation make to the creative output of high impact ads?

Up to 90% of digital advertising today is traded programmatically via global marketing platforms, but these platforms do not support effective transactions for high impact creative. In the past publishers have outsourced the sales of their premium products to agencies or large networks because managing programmatic is hard to do in-house. With Adnami is offering that no longer happens. It simplifies creative build and buying processes and dramatically increases the creative impact of programmatic display advertising, enabling greater control for publishers over their significant assets, and offering far greater creative impact for brands.

Finally, what does the timing of these reports mean for marketers?

These reports have arrived in a highly interesting time, where the industry is trying to work out what life in media and technology looks like after the cookie apocalypse. Everyone is looking at alternative technology tools and tactics to drive effectiveness. Anything that contributes to untangle the complexities within programmatic, improves creative quality, and end of the day delivers better returns for advertisers, are in a good position for the time ahead of us.

What Advertisers Need to Keep In Mind About Ad-Blocking Users

What Advertisers Need to Keep In Mind About Ad-Blocking Users

Did you know the fortune cookie doesn’t actually originate from China? It was brought to the US by the Japanese! The truth is they are rarely found in China, demonstrating the fact that old wives’ tales can often take on a life of their own before anyone can find out the truth. The same could be said for users in the ad-blocking community.

Many might have you believe that the reason users download an ad blocker is down to a dislike for all forms of advertising. However, this isn’t often the case and it’s important this is understood by the advertising and publishing communities alike.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Phil Gray, Chief Innovation Officer at Interactions LLC

Ad-block users don’t dislike ads

Perhaps one of the most surprising things to learn about ad-blocking users is that they don’t dislike all ads, in fact, the majority are emphatic to the role advertising plays in keeping the internet free. This is just one of the key findings from an eyeo survey, undertaken by YouGov, to understand the attitudes of online users towards ad blocking and advertising.  

Approximately 75 percent of internet users understood the importance of adverts for the long-term sustainability of a free internet ecosystem. Ad-blocking users respect the digital ecosystem, however, they don’t want advertising formats that disrupt their browsing experience. 

Online users can download an ad blocker to take back control over their online experience. As consumers were being force-fed poor quality and intrusive ads for too long, ad blocking provides them with a means to view the content they want to consume – without the trade-off of annoying, irrelevant and intrusive advertising.  

Ad-block users; smarter than the average user?

With that in mind, another key finding relevant to publishers and advertisers reveals that ad-block users are generally young, educated, tech-savvy and earning more than an average salary, and are 80 percent more likely to make purchases online. This makes them a crucial user base for advertisers. 

So, if this is the case, the question the buy-side should be asking amongst its teams is “are my ads reaching this segment? And if not, why not?”. This is why eyeo wants to continue to educate the publishing and advertising communities about the important role that ad filtering plays in reaching its key demographic, seeing that most ad blockers today have enabled some form of ad-filtering capabilities.   

Ads bring value to the browsing experience; not diminish it 

In its earliest form, ad blocking – as a concept and a technology – was uncompromising, blocking all forms of advertising. However, today’s ad-blocking users (most of whom are actually ad-filterers) are happy to receive ads – just as long as they are not intrusive and do not hinder their browsing experience. 

We know the majority of ad-block users understand the role advertising plays in keeping the internet free and that they are happy to receive light advertisements, rather than block them altogether.  

How to ensure ads are acceptable?

Critically, advertisers have to learn that this huge segment of online users are not lost to them; they are still there and waiting for stakeholders in the digital advertising supply chain to adapt to this new reality of ad-filtering practices.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Sara Spivey, CMO at Braze

So, what do advertisers need to know in order to reach this hugely valuable demographic?

It is important that ads need to be delivered in a manner that does not disrupt the user experience. This is why we encourage advertisers to embrace the open ecosystem that has developed around providing an immense amount of value to publishers, brands, agencies, ad-tech vendors and end-users alike. 

By being able to meet in the middle and provide a fair offering to all stakeholders, Acceptable Ads has grown its user base to over 225 million users. 

This segment of users are tired of being distracted by intrusive online ads, however, they understand the critical importance of advertisement for the sustainability of a free internet ecosystem. Therefore, this audience is more ‘ad aware’ and cognizant of the value exchange between advertisers, content publishers and users who sustain the free and open internet. eyeo has recently launched its ground-breaking new solution, Trestle which allows advertisers to connect with these users that were never available before due to ad blocking, enabling them to start to realize the potential value.

Through understanding the above key drivers for ad-blocking adoption, the publishing and advertising communities will be far better equipped in the future to successfully deliver better ads that their target audiences will genuinely engage with.

Instamojo-sees-more-than-2-lakh-subscriptions-post-launch-of-e-comm-services;-Targets-to-on-board-250_000-merchants-by-FY'22
  • Pune accounts for the highest number of e-commerce sellers on the platform, amongst the metros; Lucknow leads the way for non-metros
  • The platform currently has a merchant base of more than 2 million small business owners.

Instamojo, an eCommerce platform for independent business and D2C brands, today announced that the company aims to on-board more than 250,000 small businesses by the end of FY’22. Earlier this year, the company made its entry into the e-commerce enabler space with its digital product suite, empowering D2C brands to launch their own independent online stores. Since the activation of the beta version of the e-commerce platform in February’21, the company has seen 2.5 lakh plus D2C merchant subscriptions, accounting to more than 100% growth in the 1st quarter post the launch. Instamojo currently has a merchant base of more than 2 million small business owners.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Sara Spivey, CMO at Braze

Instamojo’s e-commerce platform offers merchants the tools to build and manage their own business website, along with other integrated services which include digital payments, logistics, instant pay-outs, access to credit, marketing tools and CRM. Merchants can also opt for the “The Do it for Me (DIFM)” feature where Instamojo’s tech experts take charge of building a merchant’s website to provide a hassle free experience. 

As per recent data from the platform on merchants creating online stores, the company has seen maximum traction from businesses based out of the city of Pune, followed by Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore amongst the metros. In fact, 18% of e-commerce sellers on the platform are from Pune. Amongst the non-metros, Lucknow leads the way, followed by Jaipur and Ahmedabad where the top e-commerce categories included fashion, art and food.

Sampad Swain, CEO & Co-founder, Instamojo said, “In the last couple of years, both digitisation and changing consumer behaviours have made it imperative for small businesses to move online. In fact, in a post pandemic world, the D2C model can be an effective solution to catalyse recovery of businesses. Post the launch of the beta version of our e-commerce solutions, we received tremendous response from merchants across the country especially from the non-metros. Small business owners were very receptive to the online store model, an indicator that the sector is evolving towards a digital future.”

He further added, “It is heartening to see the digital growth of this sector which is mostly defined by traditional business models. As we witness D2C businesses moving online, we aim to support the growth journey of more than 250,000 small business owners as they strive towards becoming digitally independent. ”

Instamojo also offers merchants digital solutions which include online payments, logistics, credit services, free learning platform called mojoversity and more for business to gain visibility. Early 2020, the company acquired GetMeAShop (GMAS), an e-commerce enablement firm backed by Times Internet, and closed its Pre-Series C round of funding in the later part of 2020.

Consumer Identity Access Management Market in 2021 – Latest Detailed Analysis Report

World over, the continuous digitization of businesses has stimulated the need for consumer identity access management (IAM) technologies. These are authentication and authorization technologies crucial for delivering a unified and seamless customer experience. Consumer identity access management capabilities consist of various processes related to the registration and authentication of customers, managing their identities, and collecting customer data for personalized marketing. Consumer IAM technology fundamentally includes user registration, social login, and user profile management.

Companies across different industry verticals are increasingly adopting consumer IAM services to connect their customers with internal and third-party applications and collect a wealth of demographic and psychographic information.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Christina Park, VP of North America Enterprise Sales at LoopMe

Global Consumer Identity Access Management (IAM) Market: Key Trends

The mounting concerns pertaining to proper management of customer identities in rapidly expanding digital business processes underpin the need for consumer IAM technologies. The imperative to provide a secure and rich customer experience across numerous business offerings and multiple channels has propelled the demand for consumer IAM services. The increasing use of consumer IAM in collecting accurate first-party data for the purpose of formulating brand engagement strategies is a crucial factor boosting the market.

Various consumer IAM services have enabled businesses to synchronize customer profile data with their email marketing system, web analytics, e-commerce, and a variety of other marketing technologies. The trend of personalized offerings is expected to provide robust impetus to the growth of the consumer IAM market over the forecast period.

Global Consumer Identity Access Management (IAM) Market: Market Potential

The advent of advanced authentication methods such as biometrics and voice recognition software has further expanded the market potential. The advent of comprehensive identity platforms aimed toward Internet of Things (IoT), including industrial IoT (IIoT), and cloud-based technologies is expected to expand the potential of the market in the coming years.

ForgeRock, a prominent, multinational identity and access management solution provider, based in the United States, announced in April 2017 a new version of its integrated consumer IAM platform for IoT—ForgeRock Identity Platform 5.0. The recently released platform is especially designed for businesses keen on leveraging the potential of IoT and various connected devices such as industrial machines, autonomous vehicles, smart homes, and wearables.

Global Consumer Identity Access Management (IAM) Market: Regional Outlook

Geographically, North America and Europe are prominent markets for consumer IAM solutions. The uptake of consumer IAM technologies in these regions is stimulated by the implementation of stricter regulations pertaining to the security of consumers’ information. One such is the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) in the EU. A large number of organizations, especially SMEs, are adopting advanced consumer IAM services to gain a significant edge over others. The Asia Pacific market for consumer IAM solutions is projected to expand at a rapid pace over the forecast period. The substantial demand is mainly attributed to increasing IT spending by enterprises in major economies such as Australia, China, India, Japan, and Singapore.

EVERYWHERE Check-ins offer the added safety feature of automated missed check-in notifications based on a user-defined time parameter.

The EVERYWHERE Hub

The Everywhere Hub offers real-time situational awareness by consolidating location, status, and message information and data communication with two-way capable devices. The Hub allows supervisors to know where their assets are and their status, which ensures that their personnel can effectively manage remote operations.

Offering situational awareness, broadcast messaging SOS notification, as well as encrypted text, data, audio, and video, are all able to be managed through the EVERYWHERE Hub. Finally, the Hub offers tools for visualization, data filtering, and analytics, as well as third-party integration​​. Administrators use this web-based platform to communicate with their team and personnel in and out of the office, from absolutely anywhere.

In a Permission Based Marketing Economy, It’s Easy to Drive Permission Marketing!

0
Driving-Permission-Based-Marketing

Marketing technology has given marketers more precise and targeted avenues of reaching their audience with more impact. 

For marketers to drive greater success with their targeted approach, they need to drive permission-based marketing models. Permission marketing is a 90’s term coined by Seth Godin a marketing impact guru. In a book that is much beyond it’s time and one that was written in the 90’s – Seth Godin’s Permission Marketing explores the need for driving permission based marketing while relying less on tradition forms of yesteryear like interruption marketing. 

What is Permission Marketing?

Permission marketing is a model through which marketers plan CTAs and cadences in such a way so as to request their audience’s permission before sending them marketing messages. Double opt-ins, driving newsletter campaigns, surveys, Q&As are all different ways in which marketers can drive a more permission based marketing model. 

Marketing Technology News: Marketing Technology Highlights of The Week: Featuring Oracle, GumGum, Sendinblue, Semrush and more!

A Few Benefits of Permission Marketing

  • Boosts customer engagement: Permission marketing drives higher engagement and conversions because at its base, it structures marketing plans to focus on audiences that want to hear from your brand and have interest in knowing more. 
  • Lowers marketing operations costs, drives long term customer relationships: In the long-term, permission marketing can help lower marketing operations costs because of its targeted approach while allowing marketing teams the time to focus on building long lasting customer relationships.

In what ways can marketers drive more impact with permission marketing? 

Loyalty Packages

In a B2C marketing environment loyalty cards are one way for brands to nurture permission based marketing. After driving customers to sign up for special loyalty programs, brands send them promotional offers via emails that can be targeted to their customer’s need and behavior. 

In a SaaS and B2B environment, loyalty programs can be structured in a different way to offer complementary, value-add services or simply to nurture the customer for an upcoming product. 

Driving Different Kinds of Subscriptions

In a digital marketplace, most content types extend to audio, video, text and other kinds of formats; these are then packaged to be content marketed via various channels like email, social media, newsletters, etc. 

For marketers, that means more opportunity. Getting existing customers to subscribe to your brand podcast’s RSS feed or driving newsletter subscriptions are just some of the formats that marketers can use to deepen the impact of their permission marketing model. Subscription signups indicate interest from the customer in learning more about your recent updates, articles, tips, etc. 

This includes driving YouTube channel subscriptions, podcast downloads and signups, driving subscriptions to your blog feed, 

Modeling Marketing Emails Based on Subscribers

One steady example of permission marketing is subscription based emails, driving opt-ins where users can choose to receive updates on a weekly or daily basis via email can allow marketers the time to plan each subscriber email to suit the interest of a customer set. Personalizing subscriber emails based on the customer’s online journey and online buying behavior across the website or other customer touch points can drive more upsells and cross-sells while also increasing the impact and ROI of these marketing emails. 

Permission Marketing is here to stay 

With data privacy trends and customer interests constantly changing, with more marketing clutter taking up space in the same number of online channels, brands are forced to drive impact using creativity and precise, targeted methods. Knowing that your prospect or customer has some interest in something you have to say can help you drive so much more ROI from every future conversation with them. 

This involves integrating every marketing communication, understanding where and how you want to drive interest based signups and what marketing messaging you’ll align next to keep the conversation relevant and purchase driven.

The recognition represents a commitment to employee welfare despite the continued challenges presented by COVID-19

Marketing Technology News: Crownpeak Launches Experience Optimization Engine, Powered by Dynamic Yield

Despite the anticipation of a receding global pandemic in 2021, employers have had to continually evolve to meet the needs of their employees during these trying times. Last year, Dynamic Yield prioritized mental health and wellness programs as well as monetary support for increased physical comfort in work-from-home conditions. This year, the company has expanded its efforts, honoring its commitment to the wellbeing of its staff by offering a hybrid work model, providing a safe and hygienic environment for those who wish to work from the office as well as the option to remain remote. Additional equipment has also been made available to lighten the load for employees commuting between the office and home.

“On top of the regular resources and benefits we provide employees in growth, professional development, team bonding, and beyond, over the last few years, we’ve had to come up with new and unique ways to address a totally different work environment,” said Tal Raziel-Yosef, VP of Human Resources at Dynamic Yield. “Thankfully, because of the open, transparent, and collaborative nature of our culture, we’ve been able to source meaningful feedback directly from our teams, incorporating it into how we operate together, whether in-person or virtually. I know it has made us stronger as a company, which is why we couldn’t be more honored by this recognition.”

“As an employee, one of the most important things for me throughout this period has been knowing the company that I work for truly cares about my wellbeing,” said Francis Kinder, Customer Success Manager at Dynamic Yield. “But it’s not just about words, it’s about actions, and Dynamic Yield has consistently made it clear that the happiness of their workforce is a number one priority, both professionally and personally.”

Now in its fourteenth year, the Crain’s Best Places to Work in New York City list highlights those companies exceeding expectations and going “above and beyond” when it comes to employee satisfaction. Each year, Crain’s, in conjunction with independent research firm, Best Companies Group, evaluates New York City companies from a wide array of industries across the five boroughs based on an employer questionnaire and employee survey. More than 20,000 employees are surveyed on topics such as work environment, employee engagement, satisfaction, and benefits, as well as corporate culture.
