From now on, RTL Deutschland's Ad Alliance will rely on Realytics, the leading AdTech company in TV campaign measurement and a subsidiary of smartclip, RTL Group's AdTech development unit, to measure the performance of Addressable TV (ATV) and Connected TV (CTV).
For the first time in July and August 2023, the Brand Exposition and Engagement (Bee) solution developed by Realytics was tested in Germany, during a campaign for the Shopmate cashback offer from Checkout Charlie, an RTL Deutschland company.
For this pilot case, Checkout Charlie ran its TV campaign for four weeks in the summer of 2023, supported by addressable TV reinforcement from the Ad Alliance catalog.
Bee measures the exposure of commercials from the first second of all TV audiences, fragmented between linear TV, ATV and CTV.
In addition, Bee measures engagement generated by advertising on the advertiser's website and applications. Bee goes down in granularity by analyzing the quality and depth of engagement generated by each activated TV distribution channel.
The combination of exposure and engagement gives advertisers a complete picture of their campaign, enabling them to make strategic choices. Bee, for example, highlighted three key insights for Shopmate:
- +25% drive to web engagement
- +325% of users initiating a registration process
- 2.26 minutes average time on site.
The Cross Impact model, as measured by Bee, plays an essential role in Crossover Evolution. It is not limited to omni-channel product marketing, but also encompasses a vision of a media universe that no longer operates in compartmentalized silos. This cross-media vision includes proof of performance. With "Cross Impact by Realytics", it is now possible to adapt media strategy on the basis of unified data on the impact of all TV campaigns, including drive to web and drive to app.
Isabella Thissen, COO Ad Alliance: "Our first Cross Impact case study in the spring paved the way and aroused great interest in the market. The next step is to generalize this model. To this end, we are working with our French subsidiary Realytics - highly specialized professionals in the fields of analytics and programmatic - to integrate each TV device into the attribution model. The test with Shopmate was a complete success for us, and we were able to draw important lessons for the development phase."
Sabine Fischbach-Neumann, Country Manager DACH at Realytics: "Audience fragmentation is a challenge for all market players. The question of the value of each euro invested in a media plan is essential at the present time. Supporting the Ad Alliance initiative is not just about Germany. It's also an important benchmark for us in other markets. Transparency on the added value of each TV device, i.e. linear TV, ATV and CTV, for a campaign, shows what media planning will look like in the future."Thanks to Bee, a single-source measurement solution for TV campaigns on linear TV, ATV and CTV, Realytics can measure and compare spots broadcast on all channels.
For an accurate measure of overall cross-media reach, Bee calculates the duplication rate between each TV distribution channel, as well as the level of repetition to which each household is exposed.
The data analyzed by Bee is fully opt-in and pseudonymized, making the solution fully compliant with RGPD rules and respectful of privacy.
The measurement of various generic and/or bespoke KPIs, offers a wide range of analyses - from cross-media reporting to media plan optimization according to ROIst approaches - based on transparent data about the impact of linear TV, ATV and CTV on digital.
