Dusseldorf – The change of media usage habits forces advertisers to rethink. While the desired target group was previously easily addressed through TV ads, nowadays TV ads and online video commercials need to be combined in order to achieve relevant reach in many marketing target groups. The integrated placement of moving image campaigns with X-Cross now leads to considerable benefits for advertisers. This is revealed by the PayPal campaign.
Within the scope of a TV and online campaign at PayPal, covering the topics of security and trust, the supervising media agency Optimedia Dusseldorf deployed the technology X-Cross, developed by VivaKi in collaboration with the Berlin-based Data Specialist nugg.ad. It enables moving image campaigns on TV and online to be placed fully integrated, to optimise the contact classes across the different channels and to maximise the net reach of the campaign.
The campaign results for PayPal were completely convincing. Within the target group of the 18- to 49-years-old people, the TV reach of 81 per cent was complemented by another eight per cent of mere online video contacts. Thanks to X-Cross the mere online contacts thereby grew by 38,8 per cent. Moreover, the campaign-accompanying research approach of Ninah certified an increase of aided recall for individuals with online video contact from an already high initial value of 53 to 62 per cent. The brand image also benefited from the integrated moving image campaign: the number of people considering PayPal as trustworthy grew from an already high level by further 18 per cent, the number of people perceiving it as particularly secure increased by eight per cent.
“Most of the time TV advertising alone is not sufficient anymore for an effective target group approach these days”, explains Michael Marzahn, Managing Director Optimedia Dusseldorf. “Thus, to add online video contacts is becoming a necessity. The example of Paypal distinctively shows which value is added to the campaign success by an integrated placement.“
“As advertiser we do not only need to be present in online media but it is our goal to synchronise the channels in a best possible way in order to optimally place our corporate claim”, adds Anja Urlichs, Head of Marketing at PayPal. “With the aid of X-Cross we were able to increase the efficiency, i.e. net and gross reach, as well as the effectiveness regarding the brand image of PayPal.”
“The integrated placement of campaigns on TV and online has been stirring the industry for quite some time now,” adds René Lamsfuß, Managing Director of Ninah. “This is why we are happy to be able to offer our clients a solution which is based on the best data sources available in the market and which can be called into action for campaign-specific placements.”
Unlike other market players VivaKi relies on a single source approach with X-Cross and makes use of the Media Efficiency Panel (MEP) of GfK. In a second step, target groups of the respective TV campaigns, identified through the MEP and refined by contact classes, are then analysed by nugg.ad according to their online usage. Based on intelligent algorithms and machine learning, X-Cross creates target group models from this data. These are then specifically addressed in online campaigns while taking into account the TV campaign contacts.
