Creating Optimal Customer Journeys With Programmatic Marketing2
In the age of omnichannel retail, consumer journeys
have become more diffuse than ever before, thanks in
part to the rapid proliferation of digital media channels.
That diffusion has made it imperative for retail brands to connect with consumers
across all relevant digital media channels, including desktop display, social media,
mobile, and video, in order to help drive consumers down a non-linear path to
purchase. In this paradigm of precise user segmentation and highly contextual
digital messaging, programmatic marketing has become an extremely powerful
tool. In fact, retail brands have seen such great success with multichannel
programmatic marketing that two-thirds of these brands are driving even more
media dollars to programmatic, according to a 2015 survey of retail marketers
conducted by WBR Digital and MediaMath. This white paper will explore how
programmatic marketing enables brands to influence customer journeys across
digital channels to drive business outcomes.

Retail marketing is in the midst of a significant shift. The proliferation of shopping
channels has transformed the way consumers interact with brands, creating a more
diffuse consumer journey than ever. Nowhere has this shift been more pronounced
than on digital; consumers are now moving from site to site and device to device at
will, and encountering a massive amount of information and messaging along the
way. As consumers have become accustomed to consulting many different resources
prior to making a purchase, brands have fought to provide them with exceptional,
consistent, and streamlined multichannel experiences.
Unfortunately, many retail brands, have struggled to deliver the types of experiences
that engage and convert. Given the enormous amounts of information that
consumers are confronted with in digital spaces, they have become accustomed to
tuning out irrelevant marketing messages. As Frederick Lecoq, Senior Vice President
for Marketing at FGL Sports, puts it, “there is a difference between what I call buzz and
noise. Everything that’s relevant to consumers is buzz; everything that’s not relevant
is noise.” Instead, consumers now demand real value from digital advertisements, as
evidenced by a recent Accenture study that found that nearly 60% of consumers want
real-time promotions and offers that are more relevant to them. In response to this
new paradigm, retail brands are increasingly turning to programmatic media buying to
more accurately target consumers.
Not only does programmatic enable brands to deliver relevant messages to their
consumers, it also gives them the ability to iteratively optimize their campaigns in
order to produce greater accountability for every dollar spent on marketing. By
integrating data, whether 1st and/or 3rd party, brands can develop a much clearer
view of their customers. This data activation is an essential component of modern
day marketing, in which marketers must continuously engage consumers along
an extremely non-linear path to purchase. This is a core value of programmatic
marketing, and why so many retailers are investing in it.
What is
programmatic?
Programmatic marketing is
the application of automated
technology through which
media buyers and sellers
may align organizational
processes in support of
ongoing, channel-agnostic
customer engagement (and
to allow for the continuous
optimization of that effort as
business strategies evolve) in
order to drive revenue.
The beauty of programmatic is that you can actually buy a “who”, rather than buying a “where.” A “where” is just
a placement, something you can buy and know that you are going to get 100% share of voice on that website, no
matter who is visiting. There is waste in that, because some of the people you will be talking to are not in your target
audience. In other words, just because they are visiting that digital property does not mean they are the type of
consumer you need to talk to. With the extra layer of data and insight you get with programmatic buying, you can
actually decide who you’re going to engage with and who you need to speak to.
- Frederick Lecoq, Senior Vice President, Marketing, FGL Sports
We’re very much into a digital experience that is interconnected with in-store, because a large portion of our online customers
eventually goes to the store to make their purchases. So what we do online is help them narrow that research funnel so they go
into the store more prepared to make a purchasing decision. To do that, we use a lot of personalized messaging to help them
become more prepared before they get to the store. What we’re really shooting for is a continuous experience. So from a customer
standpoint, the experience that they see on one device should be similar to that on another device, and it should be a symbiotic
movement to and from the store. Customers don’t even think that there should be any distinction: they just see one company.
- Shawn Coombs, Director, Product Management, The Home Depot
Introduction

The Journey Toward Programmatic
While programmatic marketing has been a windfall for many retail brands, some are
still struggling to catch up. Developing a cutting edge programmatic buying strategy
that spans across digital channels is a journey for many brands, and one that is often
taken only one step at a time. In fact, in the present survey of retail brands, just under
half (43%) of retailers reported using programmatic buying across multiple media
channels. Those retailers using programmatic on a single channel or not at all are
missing out on the ability to learn how to improve their campaigns in an iterative way.
When it comes to personalized digital messaging, how far ahead are multichannel
programmatic practitioners than those using programmatic more limitedly?
Which channels does your programmatic marketing
program extend to?

Retailers Not Using
Programmatic Across
Unsurprisingly, retailers using programmatic across
multiple media channels far outpace their competitors
in their ability to use channel activation to enable
their messages to be even more personalized. While
some of these channels can overlap in certain spaces
(for example, display advertisements appear on
both desktop and mobile browsers), the benefits of
extending programmatic advertising to new media
channels can be profound. With programmatic,
marketers can execute holistic campaigns across all
media, using their own data to target.

Of the retailers that are investing in programmatic
media, those that are investing in parallel with
channel attribution and device tracking are
probably seeing a higher return on investment.
For example, mobile is extremely important in the
customer journey, and being able to have mobile
in combination with social, which serves as the
glue back to the desktop experience, allows for
unified measurement and targeting. When you
have measurement in place that gives mobile a
relative value in the fractional contribution to the
sale, you can get to the point where you’re able to
scale.

Using Product Categories and Content to
Personalize Messages
From Shawn Coombs, Director, Product Management, The Home Depot
Where in the customer path to purchase are retail marketers focusing their
programmatic campaigns?
Programmatic marketing is not simply a retargeting tool,
nor is it only useful to drive brand awareness. Rather, the
most cutting-edge retail brands are using programmatic
for the complete path to purchase. These best-in-class
programmatic strategies leverage customer- and campaign-
level data alongside dynamic creative to optimize the
timing, placement, and content of marketing messages.
With such targeted and precise messaging, brands can
speak to consumers at any stage in their paths to purchase,
offering higher level product information to new prospects,
detailed specifications and special offers to those close to a
purchase, and cross-sells and engagement opportunities to
current customers.
One interesting thing that we’ve been working on
in the display space is: how do we use display as
a retention tool for us as a subscription business?
Historically, our internal email/CRM team has
been responsible for communicating with current
customers, keeping them happy, upselling them
products, etc. Recently, though, we have started
to look at using sources like Facebook and data
management platforms to push out some of our
first party data, find our customers in the display
space, and deliver them new messaging. And we
have had good success exposing our products to
existing members and making sure that they’re
staying engaged. We have seen greater retention
rates for those cohorts of existing customers we
have targeted with programmatic buys.
- Jay Eyunni, Director, Digital Media, Ancestry
“We have been working on our messaging in cases where a customer hasn’t defined yet the specific products that
they’re looking for. For those people, we can personalize using product categories or even projects that they are
working on (such as renovating a bathroom or creating an outdoor living space). As we start to understand those
themes, we can message at the category or project level. We have seen some very positive returns through that
higher level messaging. We’ve had customers return to the website based on messaging promoting a category of
products, service information, or how-to information. So we’re driving them back to the site not just through product
messaging, but also through content.”

Common barriers to better utilization of programmatic
The biggest obstacle to greater programmatic utilization has been a lack of budget or staff. Although resource allocation is a
very common problem, some retailers have solved it by establishing lean partnerships directly with technology providers and or
technology providers alongside agencies. Despite the financial and staffing demands, these brands have made it a priority to drive
media spend to programmatic, because they expect to see a great return on their investments. In fact, among all retailers, only 1 in
4 is skeptical about the ROI of programmatic marketing.

Activating Business Goals Through Programmatic
As the linear path to purchase has given way to a more complex ecosystem of product browsing,
content consumption, social sharing, and purchasing decisions, it has become critical for retailers
to capture and act on consumer data. Retailers that can effectively capture, integrate, and activate
first- and third-party data to optimize campaigns will see the best possible
engagement and conversions. But brand awareness is not the only business
goals programmatic serves.
The top 3 ways retailers say programmatic
supports their greater business goals:
“Driving direct revenue and
improving understanding of
digital ROI.”
“Pushes business to be more
customer-centric.”
“It serves all our KPIs throughout
the entire customer lifecycle, from
brand awareness to conversions
and retention.”
Programmatic marketing
can be an important driver
of core business outcomes,
helping to drive revenue
throughout the customer
lifecycle, shed light on
marketing ROI, and improve
overall efficiency.
Similarly, retail brands can use data
to formulate a more comprehensive
360-degree view of their consumers,
making their businesses more
consumer-centric and thus more
likely to resonate with their
consumers. In some cases, the
move to programmatic can even
help align budgets and break down
silos between departments.

Recency and Funnel Positioning:
A Case Study
From Jay Eyunni, Director, Digital Media, Ancestry
We do a lot of re-marketing based on two variables. The first
variable is what we call recency, which is the time since you have
been to the site within which we need to find you. The most obvious
example is if you have been to our site and you bounced, we want to
find you as soon as possible. You’re probably much more qualified
if we show you a banner one or two minutes (or even an hour) after
you bounced, versus if we find you after 24 or 48 hours. So a lot of
our segmentation there is done on the recency side.
The second variable is where you are in the funnel and how we can
specifically message you based on your position on your path to
purchase. If you leave halfway through the purchase process, we
apply that same recency strategy, but we have the ability to show
you a banner that says, “Hey, come back and finish, you’re 90% of
the way there.”
So we can adjust our messaging based on where someone was on
the site or where they were in the conversion funnel and then apply
that recency to make sure that we’re hitting people as soon as we
can with the most the relevant message. Then on our end we can
analyze all that, making sure messaging is resonating well and then
increasing or decreasing immediate bids and shifting budgets.
We can also work with our distribution sources to enhance that
personalization. For example, when we see an existing member on
an acquisition-based buy, we would like to show them a different
product, or at least different messaging. When we do come across
an existing member on a prospecting or acquisition-based buy, we
will change the creative on the fly, and show them an ad promoting
one of our other products, like DNA.

Recency and Funnel Positioning: A Case Study
Among retailers that use programmatic buying across multiple media channels, two-thirds will be increasing their investment in
programmatic over the coming year. This is because those retailers have seen their programmatic campaigns return strong and
consistent value. In particular, at least 90% of these businesses have seen their media buying become more efficient and their
customer experiences become more consistent. Eighty-seven percent also saw media ROI and digital conversions improve thanks
to programmatic, reinforcing its benefits for the bottom of the funnel.

Our business is based in Calgary, and the other day it was snowing here (even though it’s spring). Should we advertise about
bathing suits while it’s snowing outside? That just wouldn’t be relevant. Now, if on that day I’m able to flip my creative over and
talk about boots or outerwear instead, maybe I’ll have better success, because I’m more in context; I’m more relevant. That’s a big
piece of programmatic.
- Frederick Lecoq, Senior Vice President, Marketing, FGL Sports

Based on the present
research, most businesses
are looking to build brand
awareness through
programmatic. However,
almost three quarters
of respondents using
programmatic across
multiple channels are also
leveraging it as a bottom-of-
the-funnel conversion driver.
Couple these results with
the ability to cross-sell and
retain existing customers,
and it is clear that retail
brands see full-funnel value
coming from programmatic.
It’s not just about brand
awareness or acquisition
for us; we’re working to use
programmatic as part of
our life cycle marketing. That
means finding people we have
previously communicated with
via e-mail or on the web and
make that message consistent
across touch points. That can
help acquisition, it can help
retention, or it could be aimed at
moving our current customers
from a monthly package to
an annual package. So I think
of programmatic as life cycle
marketing.
- Jay Eyunni, Director, Digital
Media, Ancestry
What are the top business goals retailers are
supporting with programmatic?
A resounding 92% of retailers are leveraging programmatic to improve brand
awareness, meaning they are not just using it as a re-targeting strategy for
consumers who are further along in their journeys. Rather, because programmatic
enables marketers to target specific consumers segments with tailored messages,
they see it as a tool that can improve results throughout the entire customer
journey. That means improving brand awareness, driving more conversions,
creating new opportunities for upsells and cross-sells, and finding new ways to
engage with and retain customers. In other words, retailers understand that
programmatic supports their core business goals, with 85% saying that their
programmatic goal is to drive better business outcomes.

Building Audience Through Data and Optimizing in
Real-Time with Analytics
Data is the key to a cutting edge programmatic strategy; it drives audience insight to inform media decision
making, personalization of messaging, and enables effective optimization. Clean, actionable, and accessible
first- and third-party data is at the core of successful programmatic marketing; without it, marketers would lose
their ability to accurately segment and target their customer bases, making programmatic impossible.
This data-centric context means that marketers must have robust (and ideally, centralized) analytics platforms
that give complete visibility into their campaigns. Unfortunately, 56% of respondents reported that their
analytics are spread across multiple platforms, while an additional 36% are still in the process of building those
capabilities. Scattered data can mean fractured visibility of customers and campaigns, ultimately leading to less
impactful initiatives. Furthermore, centralized analytics platforms can give marketers an aggregated view of
media opportunities and tie media decisions to data, allowing them to better track and scale their campaigns.

Of retailers with

For those

at all, nearly
half do not use

Integrating offline data into digital campaigns
The centralization of transactional data from both in-store and online is key to our digital strategy. You can’t do
programmatic effectively and be able to measure it without having data in one place. Once we had all the data
in one place, we could understand who our customer is, and once you understand who your customer is, you
can start developing creative that is specific to that customer.

The Importance of Activating Programmatic Buys
Across Media Channels
From Ryan Bonifacino, SVP, Digital, Alex and Ani
Early on in our programmatic implementation, we started off very heavy on the retargeting side. We knew we
had a system that could pay for the investment in a very short period of time, because it contained an audience
of people who had expressed a high intent to purchase. We only had that information because we had our
analytics and our data centralized. Programmatic really kicks in when you can identify intent to purchase like
that. For us, it’s a score based on a number of different signals that come from having analytics and paid media
all in one place. You can only do that through programmatic.
It also gives us the ability to influence some other actions that are closer to the moment of purchase, including
viewing the brand’s other, non-commercial digital properties. For example, being able to follow someone’s
impression of the brand on a social media property, in which case the goal might be a Like or a follow that can
turn into a conversion at some point in the future. At those steps, we can decide what kind of message to serve
up in order to push them further down the path to purchase.
Dynamically targeting with first- and third-party data
Respondents not utilizing programmatic across multiple
platforms are far less likely to use first- and third-party
data to dynamically target customers.

We’ve been successful in keeping people engaged
with new records and offerings. But that is just
the tip of the targeting iceberg for a subscription
company. In addition to doing more programmatic
on mobile and video, we would love to get more of
our first party data out there and target on that.
Whether it’s retention or upsell or acquisition for
former members, I think the opportunities are
pretty endless there.
- Jay Eyunni, Director, Digital Media, Ancestry

What types of first-party data are retailer brands leveraging to enhance their
digital campaigns?
Online purchasing information is
far and away the most commonly-
utilized data for digital campaigns,
likely because it is so easy to
collect, categorize, and integrate
with other digital platforms.
Interestingly, offline purchasing
data is more commonly used for
digital campaigns among retailers
not using programmatic for
multichannel.

Case Study: Supporting A New Product Launch
With Programmatic Video
A programmatic evangelist, one computer and technology brand has been on the forefront of programmatic
buying for many years, and they have seen great returns from their ability to target their best demographics
and deliver tailored messages to those users. That precision targeting has also produced new media buying
efficiencies for the technology manufacturer, which has bolstered the business case for further investment in
programmatic marketing. According to the brand’s Digital Marketing Manager, those efficiencies were born out
of the fact that programmatic helped them to market smarter, using a data-driven, rule-based, and automated
process to deliver more relevant messages to their customers.
This business has made programmatic video buying an integral component of many campaigns, including the
launch of a new line of laptops and tablets last year. As part of the launch, the company allocated substantial
media budget to programmatic buying of display and video. By marrying display and video advertisements
and targeting the business’s core demographics, the company saw an extremely high click-through rate
that eventually yielded conversions. Not only did programmatic create an efficient buying process; it also
drove deep engagement, because it was delivering the right creative to the right customers. According to the
organization’s Digital Marketing Manager, another contributing factor to the campaign’s success was the fact
that they served the ads on premium inventory, not just remnant ad space.
As the Digital Marketing Director explained,
programmatic enabled them to tailor their digital
messaging to each customer’s place in the
customer journey:
“If someone has never come to our site before, but they are in the pool
of people that we want to talk with based on a few specific criteria, we
will serve them a softer message aimed at driving awareness. Then
later, after that person eventually comes to the site to evaluate one of
our products, we will deliver a different, more product-specific message.
Perhaps we will push the speed of our computers or other technical
information. Regardless, the effect is the same: to deliver a message
more aimed at pushing the sale.
It is the data that has allowed us to aid the customer journey by being
able to optimize which message a certain customer sees. Efficiency flows
out of this process, as well. Instead of serving the same message at all
levels, we can hit the same number of people with different creative that
is more relevant to them, making the campaign more efficient.”

How Can Your Brand Use Programmatic Marketing
to Optimize Customer Journeys
While many retailers are still in the process of more extensively adopting programmatic, the business benefits
are clear for those that have. By using data to improve the targeting, messaging, and analysis of campaigns,
programmatic represents the most rigorous way to improve the impact of marketing spend. For that reason,
more and more retail brands are pushing media dollars to programmatic; they are looking for improved
engagement and increased revenue throughout the customer lifecycle.
Programmatic does require investment. In fact, it can be transformative for marketing departments and
advertising processes for many brands. But as more retailers are finding, programmatic is more than just a way
to streamline media buying and create marketing cost efficiencies; it is central to driving personalized, efficient,
and profitable customer journeys.
When it comes to customer journeys, programmatic is a marketer’s best friend. Retail brands with multichannel programmatic
campaigns are much more confident in the consistency and personalization of their journeys.
When we look at the digital customer experience, the last thing we want to do is annoy our customers. Luckily, if you have your data
all in one place, you can get those signals a lot earlier. From a customer standpoint, it’s going to be beneficial because they’re not
seeing the brand everywhere, but rather they are just seeing relevant messaging. We believe that ultimately benefits the customer
experience and makes the real-time bidding process that much more profitable.
