Company’s Digital Marketing Suite (DMS) offers brand marketers the ability to optimize ad spend based on behaviors and interests
NEW YORK – IgnitionOne, the global leader in digital marketing solutions, is launching an industry-first Engagement Optimization offering, which addresses a glaring need for measurability of digital advertising for brand marketers.
Engagement Optimization measures a website visitor’s level of on-site activity in order to show the effectiveness of tracked media channels, while allowing the marketer to focus their media budgets on the advertising that creates the most visitor engagement.
Engagement metrics that marketers can measure and apply to their digital media include:
- IgnitionOne’s proprietary Engagement Score, which places a numerical value on each website visitor’s level of involvement and propensity to act – a critical tool when seeking to optimize media
- Average Engagement Score change per session
- Time spent on a website
- Frequency of visits
- Average page views per session
- Total new users per date range
- Total returning users per date range, and
- Categories of interest on the website
Until now, marketers were only able to optimize media spend against specific direct-response metrics such as clicks and conversions. IgnitionOne’s quantum leap in engagement measurement and optimization offers brand marketers the opportunity to measure the effectiveness of advertising towards reaching brand goals.
Engagement Optimization is seamlessly integrated within IgnitionOne’s Digital Marketing Suite (DMS), which allows marketers to manage, measure and optimize their digital media,attribution and website conversion from a centralized platform and singular tagging system.
“Engagement Optimization will change how brand marketers measure their online performance, similarly to how Attribution changed online ad measurement when we led the industry by introducing it to our platform three years ago. By understanding people’s engagement levels, marketers can optimize media even more effectively to increase brand goals,” said Will Margiloff, CEO of IgnitionOne. “Our objective is to simplify and streamline digital marketing, and the addition of Engagement Optimization to our Digital Marketing Suite is a landmark step in that evolution.”
In its beta phase, Engagement Optimization was tested by Europe’s leader in printing and personal publishing, PhotoBox. The results caught the attention of Econsultancy and IgnitionOne was awarded the ‘Innovation in Web Analytics and Optimization’ title at its awards held on 23 February.
Daniel Loebl, Online Marketing Director for Travel Guard, an early adopter of this solution said: “Being able to optimize our media against engagement and branding objectives will open up a whole new world for us. We will now be able to approach these goals with the same level of confidence as we have with our conversion KPIs.”
