Study: Enterprises Want More Marketing Data, But They Don’t Know What To Do With It
Online marketers and advertising are getting access to more and more data, but that’s not enough, according to the 2012 Digital Marketing 2.0 Study commissioned by ad company DataXu . More than 350 “enterprise decision makers” in management, marketing, communications, digital, IT and social media were surveyed, and 75 percent of them said that data will help them improve their businesses. However, 58 percent said they didn’t have the skills and technology needed to analyze marketing data, while more than 70 percent said the same about customer data. “We know about Facebook and Google and other Internet service companies leading the charge in dealing with big data,” DataXu co-founder and CEO Mike Baker told me.
Pontiflex , a company focused on what it calls “mobile signup” ads, is reaching out to smaller advertisers today with the launch of AdLeads , its self-serve platform. Co-founder and CEO Zephrin Lasker says this has always been one of his goals for the company, ever since it launched five years ago — to allow any business, regardless of size, to pay for marketing leads collected via Pontiflex ads (advertisers only pay when someone actually enters their contact information into a sign-up form). With the growing importance of mobile, Lasker says this is “the next big step” beyond Google AdWords for many small businesses. “We’re on our phones all the time,” he says. “They might as well be taped to our foreheads. Anybody from a small business owner to a media planner can tell that everybody’s attention has shifted.”
Pontiflex Launches Self-Serve Version Of Its “Mobile Signup” Ads
Advertisers looking for higher ROI from their Facebook self-serve ads may soon see some new tools. Facebook tells us its testing new features like “Objectives” which lets advertisers ask Facebook to “Show this to people who are more likely to: [Like my Page] or [Install my app] or [Click on my ad or sponsored story]“. It’s also trying a simpler interface and allowing more targeting options to be layered. The test is a response to comments from advertisers who wanted “more guidance on how to optimize their campaigns based on their marketing goals.” By using it’s data of which users frequently Like Pages or install apps to help advertisers, Facebook could get them better results and encourage them to spend more.

Google's $2.5 Billion In Display Advertising Might Already Be Bigger Than Yahoo's

Yesterday, Yahoo reported a 17 percent increase in display revenues on Yahoo-owned sites. CEO Carol Bartz told analysts on the conference call: “We are running really fast. We are not going to give up this leadership in display very easily.”

Quem envia novidades é o Adriano Brandão, um dos fundadores da Navegg , a startup de segmentação de audiência online que foi comprada pelo Buscapé no início do ano passado. “Desde nossa entrada no Buscapé as coisas mudaram bastante, claro. Creio que o ponto principal tem a ver com as diversas sinergias que existem entre a Navegg e as demais empresas do grupo. Isso tem alavancado muitos negócios e oportunidades. Se no começo de nossa operação o principal ativo da Navegg era seu mecanismo de profiling, hoje sem dúvida o maior valor da empresa é o alcance que nossa tecnologia tem na rede.
Real-time bidding is set to revolutionise not only how media is purchased, but how campaigns are planned and created and even the skills marketers need. “It is early days, but real time-bidding (RTB) is going to be as big an initiative in Europe as it is in the US, where we are seeing triple-digit increases in our ROI,” predicts Daphne Sacco, director of internet marketing at eBay International. BSkyB has also been an early adopter of RTB in display advertising. In July 2010, it accounted for around 2% of Sky’s display adspend. By January 2011, this had grown to 18%. Matthew Turner, head of online sales and marketing at Sky, hopes this will reach 50% by 2013.

Predictions 2012 #3: The Facebook Ad Network
For my third prediction of the year, I’m going with one just a tad bit less obvious than “Facebook will go public.” There seems to be no doubt about that event occurring this year, though I’ve certainly heard intelligent folks argue that Facebook can and should figure out how to stay private. I’ve argued that Facebook ought to be a public company , if only to be held (somewhat) accountable given all the data it has on our lives.
Quattro Alums Launch Mobile Targeting Startup Adelphic, Raise $2M
Two mobile veterans who worked together at Quattro Wireless, the mobile ad network that formed the basis of Apple’s iAd program , are announcing a new company today called Adelphic Mobile . Jennifer Lum, who was the vice president of ad ops at Quattro, tells me that me that she teamed up with her Quattro colleague Changfeng Wang because they wanted to tackle some of the unsolved problems in mobile advertising. Specifically, she says that Wang has developed new “AudienceCube” targeting technology that should help “unlock” the brand badges for mobile campaigns, giving advertisers new insight about who exactly their ads are reaching. Adelphic’s Predictive Data Platform can be sold to advertisers and publishers to help them optimize campaigns. For example, Lum says Adelphic could partner with a publisher like TechCrunch to use predictive modeling to determine which members of its readership are likely to fall into a specific demographic, and to target ads based on those predictions.There has been some speculation about when Facebook might launch an advertising network to run on sites apart from its own, using its trove of data on what its 845 million users like and share. But while the company has been silent on whether it plans to do this, it has also quietly moved into display ads in the wider world of the Internet — via a series of ads for Facebook itself. And one of its ad network partners, ironically, has also been one of its biggest competitors: Google. Facebook’s ads on Google’s AdSense network — brought to our attention by a tip from a reader — have been live for about six months already, TechCrunch understands, as part of a bigger display campaign running for the past couple of years (one other sighting here from Josh about a year ago). At this point, it looks like those ads are only for Facebook itself.
