当今媒体行业的复杂性不容忽视,不断扩大的选择范围也对有效的跨媒体测量产生了影响。然而,这种复杂性并没有给营销人员在实现业务目标时提供任何回旋余地。实际上,我们知道,复杂性的增加只会加重责任。
And managing complexity isn’t enough. Marketers need to find ways to keep things simple, streamlined and clear—oftentimes with reduced budgets and fewer resources. Marketers are on the hook to deliver for their businesses and justify their investments along the way. In that way, the complexity of today’s media landscape has become both a unique and a universal challenge.
The proliferation and growth of new media channels presents one of the most pressing difficulties in the quest for effective cross-media measurement, especially as audiences increase their connected TV (CTV)1 usage, which provides access to streaming services. Streaming may be the most top-of-mind today, but the future of cross-media measurement will need to be adaptive to many new channels as they emerge.
Today, however, marketers know that streaming is where the audience is, and they’re adjusting their marketing plans accordingly. In fact, the survey supporting the 2023 尼尔森年度营销报告 found that 45% of ad budgets globally, on average, are shifting to CTV channels. The flipside, however, is that marketers don’t yet see the value in their CTV spending, as only 49% of marketers say CTV is either very or extremely effective.
鉴于流媒体对受众的吸引力,营销人员倾向于流媒体是有道理的--尽管目前认为其效果不佳。当任何一个新渠道获得受众时,营销人员都需要在他们知道受众在哪里的花费与了解他们需要知道什么以证明他们在那里的投资所带来的风险之间取得平衡。
但是,在流媒体领域衡量受众并不是营销人员的最后一道障碍。这只是他们现在面临的障碍。广泛的连接性将继续为新的选择打开大门,而所有这些选择都将有自己的测量需求。这才是真正的跨媒体测量挑战所在。
在渠道层面测量参与度的工具和解决方案,从来都无法为营销人员提供个人如何跨渠道参与的整体视图。一直以来,跨媒体测量都依赖于营销人员汇总渠道测量结果,然后推测完整消费者旅程的能力。渠道的激增和隐私法规的不断完善使这一要求变得越来越高,全球营销人员的看法也反映出这一难度在不断增加:平均只有 50% 的营销人员表示,他们对跨渠道的全渠道投资回报率测量能力非常或非常有信心。
撇开信心不谈,营销人员知道他们需要应对这一挑战,因为 71% 的营销人员绝大多数都承认对跨渠道受众参与度进行单一视图(即可比较的重复测量)的重要性。
如果营销人员真的希望在每个接触点都能获得受众参与度的单一视图,他们就需要放弃任何不能从数据角度进行补充的工具或解决方案。营销人员应考虑利用尽可能少的工具来实现单一的受众参与视图。毫无疑问,这样的转变可能会让很多人感到不安。但是,随着营销资金跨越越来越多的渠道,来自特定渠道工具的不同数据集将需要越来越多的手动调节。
目前,全渠道投资回报率测量的可信度相对较低,而未来几年日益丰富的媒体环境表明,需要基于可信且渠道无关的数据和解决方案的变革性思维。随着受众从一个渠道增加到另一个渠道并实现无缝切换,测量也应该能够做到这一点。
