Beyond the Last Ad
Agencies and advertisers base their media and creative optimization decisions on reporting that fails to quantify both the reach to consumers and the quality of that reach. Current digital marketing reporting standards only associate success to the last ad seen or the last click that occurred. The "Last Ad Standard" ignores more than 90% of marketing touch-points that engage consumers and influence behavior. This myopic view of campaign performance distorts measures of campaign ROI, and ultimately the media mix of marketing budgets. In this session, we'll review the latest research on ROI measurement from the Atlas Institute, and present a new and practical method for quantifying engagement, measuring conversions, and analyzing the impact of duplication across multiple sites and channels. This session is relevant for any marketer who makes optimization decisions based on third party ad server reporting, site analytics technologies, publisher and network counts, or proprietary measurement systems.

Proven Methods in Achieving Superior ROI Online: A Study of Two Companies
The pressure to derive better return on ad spend, esp. in a tight economic environment, forces even the most 'brand-oriented' advertisers to focus their advertising efforts on campaigns that result in bottom line performance.

This workshop will examine how two leading companies, one a provider of executive level coaching for individuals, and the other a leading marketing intelligence services firm, were able to significantly out-perform their prior online marketing efforts by implementing a proven set of online advertising strategies and techniques.

Jonathan Shapiro, the CEO of MediaWhiz, a leading results-driven online advertising company, will demonstrate how you can make a similarly successful impact on the performance of your online advertising efforts. Mr. Shapiro will also discuss how ROI-driven campaigns not only drive conversions, but also brand recognition.

A Crystal Ball for Your Leads — Understanding Predictive Scoring

Millions of lead-gen dollars can turn on a single issue: Which leads are going to generate sales — and which are dead ends?
