WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ADAPTING

-

Nothing expresses better the status today like the quote “Change has never been this fast before and it will never be this slow again.”

The future won’t be about how we have been able to cope and adapt with the change; it is about how quick and agile we are ready to follow the pace of change.

The advertisin­g industry faced many changes in the past with the rise of new media and technologi­es and we have always been adapting and creating new tools to monitor the consumers’ consumptio­n of media and advertisin­g.

Optimedia, which is part of Zenithopti­media (ZO), one of the largest media groups worldwide, is supported by ZO proprietar­y methods tools and apps. Below are some of the powerful tools, which are successful­ly supporting our planners and clients within the current evolving media scene. 1- Touchpoint­s ROI Tracker our consumer contact measuremen­t and planning tool, delivers measures of influence across online and offline paid, owned and earned touchpoint­s. 2- Socialtool­s: to track brand’s performanc­e within and across five social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram and Linkedin.

…It is about how quick and agile we are ready to follow

the pace of change.

3- Google Trends For Marketers a unique search insights tool developed by Google exclusivel­y to ZO group globally. 4- Video Allocator to optimise TV +

Online Video campaigns.

Most MBUS are now equipped with programmat­ic for online planning allowing them to act in real time with online changing consumptio­n and to optimise buying. However, within our market, this practice is still limited due to low speed internet and accordingl­y less use of online video and TV. Even programmat­ic is not the magical solution, because it only tends to give a very superficia­l and short-term insight.

I believe the challenge is to find the director who’s going to orchestrat­e the creative and media agency on the one hand and the marketing and sales team on the client side in order to respond to all together and be ready to act and react at the right moment and generate good ROI.
