Notes de l'éditeur
- About me, CapstratCapstrat is PR/ad/interactive agencyHelp Capstrat show value for campaigns we run (offline and online)Also consult clients on how to use data to drive business decisions – what to capture, how to capture, etc
- Without a goal than there is nothing to measure or optimize. You need to have an idea of what constitutes success.
- If you only look at the averages you fail to see the actual behaviors. Example – average is 4.7 but 59% only view one page! Other end of spectrum you have 5% that view 20 plus pages. Use segmentation with this to see how different groups consume content.
- Don’t stop with averages as they don’t tell the whole story. Create segments based on behaviors, geos, sources of traffic.
- You’ll be shocked the differences in segment behaviorsUse knowledge in targeting/re-targeting with relevant contentTraffic isnt a giant monolith, have different needs and intent – cater to it!
