// Online measurement – the big picture
• Clickthrough rate is still the most widely used indicator in display advertising
measurement.
• Still, clickthrough rate is related to only a small share of internet users.
• It does not even provide information on all campaign-related online sales.
• Clickthrough rate cannot determine the impact of online advertising on
branding effect
• Clickthrough rate is not comparable to any other media measurement
indicators
• Another solution is needed to estimate the impact of various
marketing tactics on sales and to forecast the impact of future sets of tactics
to optimize the advertising mix and promotional tactics with respect to sales
revenue or profit.

// Analysis of campaign’s direct effects
What is it about?
• Internet is not competitive when it comes to winning the
branding campaigns’ budget – maybe because it is hardly
comparable?
• Reach is the only indicator available in all media channels
• Comparing TV and internet GRP could be used
• But maybe TIME could be also used as an additional indicator in
comparison of these channels?

// Tracking studies focusing on specific internet campaigns
What is it about?
• Comparison of internet users’ answers on brand and ad awareness, ad recall,
purchase intent etc.
• Comparison of control-exposed groups
• Comparison of pre-test – post-test groups
• Other media channels’ results can be also compared based on declaration.
What are the advantages?
• We can estimate the effect of the total advertising campaign among internet
users.
• We can analyze the impact of online advertising campaign in the total media
mix among internet users.
• We can estimate the impact of online advertising compared to other
channels understanding e.g.: the incremental reach of online

// Zumi.pl case study
• The study was conducted 16 August – 23 September 2010 in an experimental
scheme with the use of CAWI method (pop-under ads displayed on vod.onet.pl
and onet.pl).
• The ad creative was in 2 formats (exactly the same ad in each format):
o pre-roll,
o mid-roll.
• Based on data saved in cookie files the following groups were distinguished (each group
received exactly the same questionnaire):
• Control group – users (cookie), who did not have
contact with the ad (N=200)
•
Exposed group – users (cookie), who had contact with the ad
•
pre-roll – (N=254)
•
mid-roll – (N=297)
•
pre-roll and mid-roll (mixed group) –

// Continuous tracking studies
What is it about?
• Continuous tracking studies are monitoring the brand’s performance
including brand consideration, advertising awareness, advertising recall
• Tracking can be done continuously (a few interviews every day) or it can be
“pulsed,” with interviews conducted in waves
• It can also provide simulations to find the optimal ROI
What are the advantages?
• It provides a result of the combined effect of media weight or spending level,
the effectiveness of the media buy or targeting, and the quality of the
advertising executions or creative.
• It is possible to break down the drivers of new customers and allows to
calculate the return on investment to each media channel.
• With modelling optimal media mix can be identified and potential ROI
simulated.
