impact
noun
/ ˈim ˌpakt/

Process
Creation





Distribution
Measurement
• What impact did
the content itself
have
• What impact did
its means of
distribution have?
Old Framework
Post stuff
Site content
x followers
Distributed by FB
y impressions/follower
Shown to users
Newsfeed
Page Engagements
Clicks
z clicks/impression (CTR)
Traffic = x * y * z
Distributability
Engagement
New Framework
Post stuff
Images
x followers
Distributed by Insta
y impressions/follower
Shown to users
Feed
Engagements
Shares, hearts, video plays
Follows
z engmts./impression
Impact = ???
The Old Situation
Disparate set of 3rd party systems for BI and
decision-making based on digital events. Some are
real-time, others are substantially behind the systems
they support.
Our Solution
Provides a platform-agnostic foundation for a
next-generation set of internal analysis and
signaling tools, for example:
• Content relevance weighting based on
popularity and engagement
• Topic popularity and recommendations
• Real-time analytics and notifications based on
event thresholds
Collect	and	Normalize	
Events
Building a generalized
streaming analytics platform
Analyze	each	event	to	
add	context	like	
sentiment,	4PO	
keywords,	etc.
Expose	a	simple	system	
for	querying	event	
analytics	in	near	real-
time
Events from Web & Mobile
Users (pageviews, clicks,
video plays, scroll events,
etc.)
Real-time	analytics	Applications:	Current	
users	on	site,	trending	articles,	popular	
topics,	active	geos
What it looks like
Ingest	Events
Decorate	Events
Analyze	Events
Built	on	top	of	the	platform
Digital Events
• What is an event? Any user interaction with a piece
of CN content on Web, Social, Video, anywhere we
can capture
• Examples: Clicks, Scrolling, Video Plays, Shares,
Comments, Hovering, Ad Interactions, etc.
• What is captured with the event? Content
information, “Viewer” Information, Interaction
Information
Functionality
• Filters : Any standard field can be filtered. Special
filters for dates, integers
• Dimensions : Any standard field can be used to
group data. Special granularity options for dates,
integers
• Aggregates : Aggregators include count, sum, avg,
etc.
• Cardinality : Single and multidimensional cardinality
is possible using HyperLogLog
Thanks!
