Apply core best practices to upstart your incrementality measurement
Build basic statistics and
data literacy.
1
Use your analytics team to
help construct or guide your
incrementality tests.
2
Split test cells across
homogenous populations,
like segment level and
ensure audience and
geo-location areas
consistency for precise
incrementality results.
3
Putting Incrementality
into Practice in Streaming
Experimental Methods in OTT Can Provide More Efficient
Decisions
23
● As omnichannel marketers, we
need to understand
incrementality throughout the
funnel to drive optimal
investment decisions.
● OTT can serve as a full-funnel
marketing tool, broadening
reach and filling the top of the
funnel while producing efficient
acquisition in its own right.
Awareness

There Are A Few Techniques To Understand
Incrementality Throughout The Funnel
Experimental
Methods
Quasi-Experimental
Methods
Observational
Methods
Experimental Methods Are The Gold Standard
25
OTT Incrementality Tests benefit from being experiments.
● Test designed to meet requirements.
● Proper randomization is done.
● Accurately measures incrementality on an OTT publisher.
The basic principle of the test
involves creating two distinct
impression groups: a control group,
and an exposed group.
TV lift tests can often be run with a
conservative budget and a relatively
short time frame to produce
statistically significant results that
equate to a measured lift in response.
Measurement
To understand the incrementality of
TV, we measure and compare the
responses of the control group vs. the
group that saw the commercials over
a distinct time frame and for a
particular KPI.
Test Structure Implementation
Test Overview
Client industry: Wedding
services
KPI: Signups
Test duration: 3 weeks
Property: Hulu Reality Cluster
Total test spend: $30k
Spend ratio: 80% / 20%
(exposed / control)
Findings
Based on the difference in
response rates, the exposed
group was ~6x more likely to
register for an account than
the control group.

Validity
● Money spent on placebo ads.
● Limited OTT partner capabilities.
● Incrementality changes over time.
● Results to not apply to other publishers.
Incrementality Test Drawbacks Problems With External Validity
Quasi-Experimental Methods Solve Drawbacks And
Maintain Validity
28
● Quasi-experimental methods are used
when randomization is not possible.
● Results are still valid even if
randomization is not used.
● Commonly used in the social sciences.
Always-On Incrementality Allows For Costless,
Continuous, and Campaign-Wide Insights
29
Incrementality: Measuring a funnel
step or action that would not have
occurred without a specific
interaction, such as seeing an
advertisement.
Always-On Incrementality: Constantly
being able to measure the
incrementality of a marketing
campaign. Not just a static
measurement based on a test that
has been run in the past.
Incremental
Conversions

How Always-On
Incrementality Works
30
● Impressions are served on
the same publishers by
multiple clients.
● Behaviorally match
impressions to create
control groups.
● Quantify incrementality.
Daily Measurement Process
What Does This Mean For A Marketer?
31
● With always-on
incrementality, we can
take the guesswork out of
driving a campaign as a
marketer.
● No longer need to apply a
haircut to the results to
get the “real” metrics, now
know the full picture
based on always-on
incrementality.
Key Takeaways Tinuiti/Bliss Point Media:
1. Quasi-experimental methods in OTT can lead
more efficient decisions.
2. Always-on incrementality allows for costless,
continuous, and campaign-wide insights.
Forrester:
1. Create a testing culture in your organization by
sharing success stories and the economic value
of marketing experiments.
2. Build a baseline of analytics literacy. Start with the
constructs of what makes a good test: statistical
significance, population representation, and clear
testing parameters.
