Key takeaways:
[1:30] I introduce today’s guest, Jane Clarke, and ask her how her journey took her from an internship at National Geographic to Sesame Street to advertising and CIMM, where she is today. She touches on what the Coalition for Innovative Media Measurement (CIMM) is and its purpose.
[7:12] Cross-platform analysis evolution has been long and slow, Jane explains how it started for her all the way back at National Geographic and how the advent of digital technology revolutionized expectations and enabled the progressive de-siloing of the analytic process.
[10:56] Jane dives into the multitude of different data levels that enable an unprecedented level of analysis granularity as well as how each media offers a unique type of information. She expands on CIMM’s mission in this evolving concept as well as the different systems that will be required in the future.
[16:20] Jane explains why she says that the data systems currently in place will need to change, starting with the massive differences in who owns the data as well as privacy issues.
[21:22] The lack of standardization is currently an issue; Jane details some of the more promising initiatives underway today.
[25:23] Some tools are in place to protect brands against fraud but standards will increase trust and incentivize brands to jump into attribution. CIMM is looking at creating some best practices to start things off.
[29:10] Data that is used for measurement is sensitive business data, yet a lot of it is available easily, Jane and I discuss the necessity to tighten up security in an environment whose pace is increasing so rapidly!
[31:10] Jane shares her tips and advice for advertisers to find and choose a trustworthy vendor.
[34:52] I mention control groups and their importance for measuring incrementality. Jane and I go back and forth with some eye-opening moments clients have when they realize most of their sales would have happened anyway — even when siloed attribution was taking credit for everyone walking into the stores!
[40:35] The word attribution like the word organic should be used with certification or people falsely using it should be fined!
[42:23] Jane offers her vision on the future of attribution.
[44:06] Jane shares one thing she knows that no one else knows and I thank her for coming on the podcast to share so much of her experience.
Be sure to tune in for the next episode and thanks for listening!
