    Attribution and Tracking | Experience Matters

    Success in advertising is anticipated before it’s achieved. Knowing how to read the signs of failing campaigns before they exhaust your budget is a critical activity of any marketing director.

    Key Idea:

    The more KPI’s you’ve seen and the more context you have for winning/losing campaigns, the more likely campaigns you schedule in the future will be successful.

    I HAVE SEEN LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF CAMPAIGNS!

    MORE ABOUT HOW I GOT ACCESS:

    How access to Infinite Digital’s client analytics changed my views:

    When I sold my company to Infinite Digital, I had access to over $35M in annual advertising analytics. This shapes my opinion GREATLY when looking at local kpi’s. I’ve seen them for clients that weren’t even mine. I cannot and will not share specifics about these clients, for confidentiality, however… I have seen things!

    Tactics and Audience: The Two Modern Branches of Marketing

    Modern Marketing Has Two Parts:

    Audience + Tactic

    Modern Marketing Has Two Parts:

    I start with the audience first.

    Because even the best ad can fail if it reaches the wrong people.

    Audience

    Audience means identifying the exact people most likely to become customers.

    Before running ads, we figure out:

    • Who they are
    • What they care about
    • What they buy
    • What they watch
    • Where they spend time online

    Modern marketing lets businesses target audiences with incredible precision across phones, TVs, apps, websites, and streaming platforms.

    Tactics are how you’re going to deliver the message to your audience. Here’s somes tactics I use in my ad strategy:

    • YouTube Ads
    • Google Search
    • Hulu/Disney Commercials
    • Netflix Ads
    • Social Media
    • Display ads
    • Radio
    • Direct Mail
    • Ticket Bartering
    • Billboards
    • Streaming Audio

    Different tactics work for different audiences.

    The key is matching the right tactic and message to the right audience and measuring the results.

    Extras: Look at an example of a proposal for a previous client to see how it might look for you as your in-house marketer. click here

  • My TV Productions

    My TV Productions

    When you hire me to manage your ads on TV products, it’s no longer a matter of calling comcast to place an ad buy or using an agency to access our audience. We can now deliver targeted commercials directly to viewers in our local market.

    Key advantage:

    With my tools, we can do this at cost, rather than using tools only typically available through agency rates.

    My Equipment:

    I have a nice array of production materials that I bring to the table.

    1. Envato Pro – Licensed Music, Legacy Account
    2. 4k 60fps camera with stablizing gimbal and tripod
    3. Macbook M2
    4. Focusrite USB Audio to XLR recording platform
    5. Adobe Audition and Capcut Pro
    6. Access to Disney Ad Manager, Google Ad Manager, Spotify and AudioGo accounts, and access to industry leading Simpli.fi.
