Digitally Centric Performance Marketing outlines how performance marketing optimizes campaigns based on measurable consumer responses and behaviors. It discusses how search marketing has changed consumers' purchase funnels and how all marketing can now be response marketing. The document provides an example of how Kraft implemented a performance branding campaign around recipe downloading that was optimized for return on behavior and led to measurable sales increases. It emphasizes integrating direct marketing, brand marketing, and digital skills; using new technologies like online ad exchanges; and creating simple, trackable metrics to continuously optimize campaigns.

Performance Branding: Making Branding Accountable
- 1. Digitally Centric Performance Marketing John Nardone Chairman & CEO, [x+1] April 23, 2009
- 2. We all know business is tough right now.. • Consumers are under pressure…so they are doing more research, and giving more consideration to their purchases and relationships • Consumers continue to migrate more and more of their personal time and “media consumption” time online…even as traditional media vehicles like newspapers and magazines falter. • Meanwhile, many industries face unprecedented financial stress… • …and marketers in all industries are under pressure to justify and be accountable for their budgets as never before. Proprietary & Confidential
- 3. A new take on “performance marketing” • What is performance marketing • Three pillars of performance marketing: • An new purchase funnel • All marketing is response marketing • Return on behavior • Example: Performance marketing at work • Making it work in your organization • Building a roadmap to success • Existing skills in a new context • New technologies • Example metrics Proprietary & Confidential
- 4. Performance marketing is… • Marketing that is continually optimized to perform (deliver positive ROI), based on measureable consumer response metrics. • Direct response marketing is performance marketing • Search marketing is performance marketing For considered purchase categories, even brand marketing can be performance marketing, if it puts digital at the center of the marketing plan. Proprietary & Confidential
- 5. The Traditional Purchase Funnel is wrong • In the traditional awareness purchase funnel, there was a bright-line distinction between consideration “awareness” and “conversion” and the corresponding “brand intent marketing” and “direct marketing” budgets, strategies and tactics employed. purchase Search marketing has changed the consumer’s buying process forever. Proprietary & Confidential
- 6. A New Purchase Cycle* • As control has shifted awareness toward the consumer, a need or desire & investigation “cycle” has replaced the funnel • Need is immediately researched search • Search both drives awareness and establishes consideration sets ranking and • Options are instantly conversion & purchase refinement ranked and refined *Thanks to Ed See, Principal, Ed See and Associates Proprietary & Confidential
- 7. Implications of the New Purchase Cycle • Lessens the impact of mass media • Impairs the incumbent advantage for cross sell/upsell • Shifts focus to your website • Collecting and leveraging the right information • Managing the experience • Aggregation, “review” sites and blogs become important arbiters Search and websites provide a simple means for consumers to act, and for marketers to track that action. Proprietary & Confidential
- 8. With digital at is center, all marketing can be response marketing…
- 9. It is only prospect recognition and expected timing of response that differentiate our marketing disciplines Unknown prospect Promotional Classic Brand Marketing Marketing Purchase now Purchase later Direct Relationship Marketing Marketing Known prospect Proprietary & Confidential
- 10. Building awareness, changing attitudes are weak goals: instead, drive to immediately measureable action. • New architecture: Build marketing plans to put digital consumer behavior at the center • New metrics: Define behavior-based metrics. Survey-based metrics such as “awareness,” “attributes” and “intent” are insufficient. • New campaign management: Manage campaigns to success by monitoring real-time consumer behavior metrics…ideally calibrated to ROI. Performance Marketing optimizes campaigns to measureable consumer behaviors…even classic brand marketing. Proprietary & Confidential
- 11. Performance marketing drives Return on Behavior • Performance marketing applies direct response concepts, even to brand campaigns: • by overcoming prospect anonymity • by identifying indicators, or constructing behavioral proxy measures for movement through the purchase cycle • by calibrating those measures to sales • by then optimizing the campaign to the approximated ROI measures Proprietary & Confidential
- 13. Case Study: Kraft’s Approach • Kraft launched an online “performance branding” campaigns based on research on “recipe clipping”. • Recipe clippers where identified as a segment of consumers who saved printed recipes, then reported behavior around trying those recipes, and ultimately adopted some of them into their regular meal routines. • Most importantly, Kraft found that recipe clipping translated directly into more sales of Kraft products. Proprietary & Confidential
- 14. Case Study: Kraft’s Implementation • Calibrated a value for a downloaded recipe • Built an ROI based branding campaign around recipe downloading. • Campaign optimized to an allowable cost per recipe • Eventually, campaign expanded to include other interactions, including shopping lists, email registrations and magazine sign-ups. Proprietary & Confidential
- 15. Case Study: Kraft’s Results • Kraft’s performance branding campaign led to millions of downloaded recipes… and measureable Kraft sales. • Although it used direct marketing skills, all the campaign’s messaging reinforced Kraft’s ethos: “For busy moms, Kraft makes nutritious meals easy”.

Integrate skills • In many industries, the skills you need are already in your organization • Necessary skills reside in: • Direct mail analytics team • Web development/ecommerce/online analytics • Search • Advertising/Branding/Marcom • Breaking down functional silos (or working around them!) is the biggest challenge for marketers • Set up cross functional teams around behavioral campaign objectives • How will the campaign impact each stage of the purchase cycle? Proprietary & Confidential
- 20. Use new technology to enable one-to-one marketing
- 21. Online ad exchanges allow display ads to target individual consumers or consumer segments • Online ad exchanges bring open market bidding to display ads. • Exchanges provide access to inventory on a per cookie/per impression, real time bid basis much like a stock or commodities exchange. • Based on search experience, marketers will buy display on a ROI basis, but new skills/capabilities are required. • In the absence of publisher and context, online data that can inform both targeting and the price an advertiser should pay for inventory becomes critical. 21 Proprietary & Confidential
