THROUGH SEGMENTATION
We need to ‘segment or die’ and stop trying to
find the average audience but instead
reaching all types of users.

5 RULES FOR A GOOD DASHBOARD
Technically speaking, a data layer is a JavaScript object that contains all the contextual data of a page and the user behavior on that page (ex.1) or all the ecommerce transactional details (ex.2).
Essentially, a data layer is the behind-the-scenes data and structure that drive customer interactions in web, mobile, and other digital channels. To ensure business value, accuracy, and consistency, data layers are often modeled and constructed through a collaboration between marketing and IT or web development professionals. But instead of data layers we have data silos what we’re going to talk about next.
Silos & non-involvement lead to bad data quality
Bad data quality leads to misalignment of analytics and business goals
Regardless of the systems your company is using “behind the scenes” the end users should work with simple tools
No restrictions in extracting data and connecting all the data together
Historically speaking, AT Internet has almost 20 years’ experience in the field of Web Analytics. We have been able to progress from a standard tracking tool provider (XiTi) to a business-oriented decison-making tool provider, responding to the needs and challenges of the largest companies out there.
An operational data store (or "ODS") is a database designed to integrate data from multiple sources for additional operations on the data. Unlike a master data store the data is not passed back to operational systems. It may be passed for further operations and to the data warehouse for reporting.
A data mart is the access layer of the data warehouse environment that is used to get data out to the users. The data mart is a subset of the data warehouse that is usually oriented to a specific business line or team. Data marts are small slices of the data warehouse. Whereas data warehouses have an enterprise-wide depth, the information in data marts pertains to a single department. In some deployments, each department or business unit is considered the owner of its data mart including all the hardware, software and data.[1] This enables each department to use, manipulate and develop their data any way they see fit; without altering information inside other data marts or the data warehouse. In other deployments where conformed dimensions are used, this business unit ownership will not hold true for shared dimensions like customer, product, etc.

Who is Elle ?
Elle is one of the titles belonging to Groupe Lagardère:
Groupe Lagardère is a media group present in around 30 countries. The group is structured around 4 distinct and complementary activities: publishing, distribution, press (paper and digital), and sports and entertainment.
The media branch of Groupe Lagardère (who has overall revenues of €8 billion)
Lagardère Active is a leader of French press (magazines), radio and TV:
More than 200 magazines: Elle, Paris Match, Télé 7 jours, Le Journal du dimanche.
29 radio stations in France and Eastern Europe: Europe 1, Virgin Radio, RFM

Lagardère Active is composed of:
35 websites, 50 apps for tablets, 100 apps for mobile

In France, it’s the second-largest media group in terms of Internet audience, and the first-largest in terms of mobile audience.
SOLUTION
Thanks to AT Internet’s API, data is distributed in real time into the journalists’ CMS, editorial dashboards, various reports, etc.
Journalists can view the performance of each article in real time and over the previous 8 hours:
- Number of visits
Trends (increases, decreases, stability)
Number of page loads
Using these performance indicators, the journalists can identify which topics are interesting to visitors, and the formats that work the best.
Example: Based on the article’s performance, the journalist might decide to produce another similar article on the same topic/theme, or not.
AT Internet gave specific guidance to Elle.fr’s editorial teams, training them on the tools and relevant editorial actions.
Tools: AT Internet + Search Metrics (SEO) + Visual Revenue (predictive analytics)
Refining article titles
Optimisation of the homepage in real time
Selecting high-performing keywords to integrate into article drafting
Selecting the optimal publication time
Optimisation of article visibility on Google News
Working on creating “Google-friendly” articles
Regarding Google News, Lagardère’s teams were able to identify that certain time slots – that were less costly and less competitive – showed nonetheless very good traffic potential. They were also able to put into place a system to manage and drive content based on the time of publication and content profitability.
Solution: adopt “data democratization” approach:
Provide simple tools to end users disregarding of infrastructure built
Teach users how to use those tools and data itself
Remove unnecessary data access restrictions
Provide teams (internal customers) with the tools that enable communication, not silos
Its not about reports, its about KPI-thinking and business impact thinking.
Not data representation but data interpretation!
Develop a culture when conclusions based on data sound legit.
The key is: they could have built this amazing infrastructure, spent a LOT of money and resources… and at the end receive no value out of it if they hadn’t adopted DD approach.

1) THE VISITOR WAS EXPOSED TO AN EXTERNAL CAMPAIGN ON THE “AAA.COM” WEBSITE. HE DIRECTLY ACCESS THE AXA HOME PAGE AFTERWARDS.
2) THE DISPLAYED CAMPAIGN IS IDENTIFIED. ADAPTATION OF THE CHOSEN CONTENT.
3) ADAPTED WEBSITE CONTENT IS UPLOADED ACCORDING TO THE CAMPAIGN PREVIOUSLY DISPLAYED.
A few words about TMS
Dashboard at an international level with Naspers:
Naspers is a leading multinational media group with its principal operations in internet platforms (focusing on commerce, communities, content, communication and games), pay-television and the provision of related technologies and print media (including publishing, distribution and printing of magazines, newspapers and books).
The group’s most significant operations are located in emerging markets. This includes South Africa and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, China, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and India.
Naspers’s mission is to develop into the leading group of media and e-commerce platforms in emerging markets. The strategy is to provide entertainment, gaming, trading opportunities, information and access to friends and family wherever they are.
Currently each company within Naspers group manages their own analytics using various tools. This presents challenges in terms of reliability and accuracy of data feed and hinders the creation of ‘standardised scorecard’ across the group companies
In order to achieve this goal, Naspers requires a robust web analytics solution to measure the current online performance but also to provide recommendations for further improvement.
Objectives: Naspers wanted to create a group-wide homogeneous platform with KPI and dashboards to measure the performance across the group companies, using the same measurement method.
SOLUTION FOR AN INTERNATIONAL GROUP (to be explained verbally):
Our capability to accompany an international client at Group level, and the local subsidiaries
The primary objective of this project is to create a ‘group-wide assessment platform’ across all companies. In order to achieve this, AT Internet recommended a group-level KPI workshop to be conducted between Naspers central management team and AT Internet.
The objectives of this service were:
To identify the group-wide objectives
To identify & agree on Key Performance Indicators & KPI metrics
Based on the identified KPIs and KPI metrics, AT Internet will create a dashboard for the group. This dashboard will become a main platform for measuring the performance across the group companies and will be automated in order to remove unnecessary manual intervention and save time.
The deliverables of this service were,
KPI workshop
KPI document
KPI dashboard
The tagging plan was established accordingly afterwards, and as soon as our solutions were deployed, a similar process was carried out to identify KPIs and build dashboards at a local level for business units
Goal:
Provide business data to over 200 “internal customers” at all levels of hierarchy, or partners such as:
- Product managers producing regional and local content: data on content performance - - Internal classified ad teams: data on traffic volume
- Classified ad partners for houses and flats: data on click remuneration
- Marketing teams: advertising and SEO data
- Sales and senior management
Challenges:
Project scale
Lack of resources
Specific requirements for each team
=> it was no longer possible to provide ad hoc reports to each team on a regular basis
Solution: Instead, M.de chose to focus on providing the required data set and advise teams on how to use it. Data sets are to be provided automatically.
Technical aspects and output
All data is automatically imported every day into a data warehouse, processed and aggregated according to meinestadt’s business requirements:
AT Internet Analyzer data
Media reach data
SEM data
Partner revenue data
The data is then consolidated and exported into Excel templates created specifically for each team by the web analytics and business intelligence unit
Analysts teach end users how to use it
As we can see, the lack of resources is quite a typical problem but it doesn’t have to be the key one.
Looking back at meinestadt.de case, their key challenge was the lack of data-driven culture within the company. 200 internal users could only rely on the analysts.
This understanding allows to apply non-standard approach – “quality instead of quantity”: instead of hiring more analysts, it’s better to invest into the end users.
meinestadt.de solution: trainings on how to use the tools for all the teams in order to synchronize their daily work and let them learn from each other.
Result:
Analysts support, advise guide instead of providing data sets
The teams have embracedand the data culture and now speak the same language
Thanks to this alliance of teams and analyst group top management now trusts to analytics as a process and making further investments into it.

- Absurde Skalierung: Vergleiche sind nicht möglich...
Benchmark & Segment
Never show metrics just without context – always insert time scale and Benchmarks or goals to improve actionability.
Isolte your critical few metrics
You should have less than ten metrics on your dashboard. You will segment on them and insert goals for every of them.
Don´t stop at metrics – include insights!
That means you should not only have number in your dashboard but include recommendations for actions
The power of a single page
it is a report if it is more than one page
Curn and stay relevant – evolve constantly
Businesses change, people come and go, high-level priorities evolve, we become smarter Why should our dashboards and metrics on dashboards stay the same over the span of a year?
Tip: We have 2 interesting blog posts about how to create good dashboards, we will send it with our follow up email that also includes the webinar
Tableau: various data from various systems can be integrated via BI system in a visualization tool.
