Testimonials: Marta Saez: Insight and research Director OMG Espana In the changing media landscape and with television losing its ability to generate effective reach, we need to innovate and to look for new alternatives to reach our target audiences. Using cross-media campaign measurement such as the God of War III PS3 case, we have demonstrated that digital campaigns can significantly increase the global reach of traditional media within a campaign. We have also ascertained that digital effectively moves brand variables at lower frequency and lower cost than traditional media.

Jorge Huguet, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Sony PlayStation Espana Thanks to this research we now know that spending on digital media absolutely compliments our above the line messaging. Whilst traditional media will remain important to us; fostering attention, interaction and engagement on the web is a key goal of our marketing campaigns. For a campaign such as God of War III driving interest through online channels is key to delivering ROI and marketing success.

Methodology YouTube Confidential and Proprietary

22

Methodology: Step 1 Understanding YouTube exposure All banners of the online advertising campaign were tagged with MetrixLab’s proprietary banner tracking technology. Every time a banner or video is served to a visitor a cookie is automatically placed on the computer of this visitor. The cookie contains information about which advertisement was served, what time and date it was served, from which site it was served, which other banners of the campaign were served and how often they were served. This means that when two million banners are served in a campaign, the MetrixLab banner tracking system is placing/updating cookies two million times.

MetrixLab cookies are dropped and updated every time the God of War III masthead or ROS advertising appears on YouTube.

Methodology: Step 2 Understanding traditional media exposure Using responses from consumers as to their exact media consumption across multiple channels it is possible to build up individual media consumption profiles. This profile is then matched with the booked media plan (provided by OMD), and using recognition of advertising creative as a corrective measure, OTS (opportunity to see) scores are generated for each respondent in the respondent base .

Actual media plan is matched with individual respondent media consumption to create an “Opportunity To See” score (OTS).

Groups of respondents are formed on the basis of their media exposure and are statistically levelled/weighted to remove any bias that might occur due to the self selective nature of media.
