MAKE CHANGES TO A CAMPAIGN
 

Once a campaign is LIVE, you are able to make changes to the campaign. You can edit a campaign end time, pause or stop a campaign, or edit the campaign creative, audience, budget or placement.

Go to ‘Campaign History’ and click the ‘Edit’ pencil icon under ‘Actions’. This will allow you to change any aspect of the campaign. Please note that creative changes may not take effect until the publishers approve the creative.

OR, you can simply forward the campaign summary email confirmation you received when launching the campaign to adops@owldsp.com with the changes you want to make listed in the email. This ensures we are always making changes to the right campaign!

1. **Targeted Reach**: CTV/OTT platforms allow advertisers to target specific demographics, interests, and behaviors, ensuring ads reach the right audience.

2. **High Engagement**: Viewers are highly engaged on CTV/OTT platforms, as they actively choose content to watch, leading to better ad recall and engagement rates.

8. **Less Ad Clutter**: Compared to traditional TV, CTV/OTT platforms typically have less ad clutter, reducing competition for viewer attention and increasing ad effectiveness.

9. **Growing Audience**: The audience for CTV/OTT platforms is rapidly growing, as more viewers cut the cord and shift to streaming services, providing advertisers with access to a larger and more diverse audience.

10. **Future-Proofing**: As consumer behavior continues to shift towards digital streaming, investing in CTV/OTT advertising allows advertisers to future-proof their marketing strategies and stay ahead of the curve.

Geo-Fencing Solution
With the privacy landscape constantly changing, we need to stay ahead to protect our clients, their clients and their customers.

Geo-Fencing Defined
- Geo-Fencing is the act of collecting an audience of people who walk into a specific location (concert, retail store, restaurant etc.) to then retarget them with ads elsewhere.

Geo-Fencing Blockers
- New legislation constantly updating privacy laws around the collection of personally identifiable information (PII).
- Apple Updates blocking MAIDs from being collected.

The AnalyticOwl-GPT Solution
- We can capture all MAIDs or Device IDs at a specific location by running a small display campaign.
- We then build an audience of all the exposed individuals.

Key Benefits
- More accurate data and audiences
- Up to date MAIDs or Device IDs
- Protection from privacy laws and fines
- Better end user experience

Simply start answering the chat questions and you’re already building an advertising campaign. You can edit any answer along the way and as you build the campaign you’ll see a summary of the campaign to the right of the chat. At the end of the process, you’ll see a summary of budget and impressions by advertising tactic and you can save the campaign and talk to someone, or if you’re ready to place the campaign, you’re able to launch and pay.

AI-insights, via the ‘Check Campaign Performance’ chat function, will provide you with ways to optimize the campaign at any point in time, but we typically suggest looking at reporting on a monthly basis.

There are many key metrics that can help optimize a campaign.

Consider using AnalyticOwl’s Attribution Report, in addition to other metrics, that covers important key performance indicators like:

Share of Ads Versus Share of Visits

When the ‘Share of Visits’ is higher than ‘Share of Ads/Commercials’ it means that campaign element is outperforming versus others…like creative, day, daypart, stations/streams, devices, markets etc.

The best way to optimize any campaign is via the comparison of campaign elements – control one campaign element and test against it (A/B testing) – and measure both. When you have more than one creative or ad duration, or deliver in more than one day or daypart, you have the ability to compare the results and lean in to the campaign element that is outperforming the other. You can then confirm if this is a repeatable pattern by increasing frequency or placements of the top performing campaign elements. There are many factors to always consider when measuring ad campaigns and AnalyticOwl is just another way to view attribution data, but should never be the sole source of performance e.g. consider phone calls, sales and the competitive landscape in the market(s).

Any campaign with any publisher (except Digital Out of Home) can be targeted by geography / location and by audience segments / interests – most common is by geography and age, gender and income.

You can see all the available targeting options on the platform:

The platform supports S2S tracking and platform tracker using a pixel are available (when using a pixel, it must be correctly installed on the site).

Using Tracking Pixel, you may collect Cookie data and use it only for the Web, or IPs data and use it for any Digital Channel available on the platform.

Note,
Website  – {f_advertising_id} macro must be used in the Destination URL.
Application  – {CLICK_ID_MACRO} and {DEVICE_ID_MACRO} data must be transferred to the platform from your tracker.

For Applications (App Store, Google Play), only S2S tracking is available (if you would like to see events on the platform, events and post-events);
For Websites (Brand), S2S tracking and platform tracker using a pixel are available (when using a pixel, it must be correctly installed on the site).

Tracking Pixel

A Tracking Pixel is a piece of HTML code that is being placed on your website or landing page to track user activity and conversions. To track events of your advertising, you need to put a Tracking Pixel (HTML code) on the page that follows the sales page. Often it’s called a confirmation or thank you page. When a user visits this page, Tracking Pixel HTML code registers a conversion in our dashboard (if the user came there because of our advertising campaign). The tracking pixel can also be used on pretty much all networks (if you have access to the landing page code/constructor).

S2S Postback URL

Server-to-Server (S2S) tracking is a more complicated, but better way of tracking information about the user and what he clicked on. This method generates a click ID value via an HTTP request that is used for tracking. Once an event happens, the DSP sends the value and info to your tracking software, and provides you detailed information about everything.

Click URL can be set for:

  • Advertiser
  • Creative

Hierarchy of using Click URL:

1) Creative
2) If not installed on the creative, then from the advertiser
3) If the link is not set, the click-through ad goes nowhere

Upload Click URL at the retargeting link under ‘Expert-Level’.

1. Go to Shopify Admin https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-admin
2. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes

3. Before you customize your theme, it's a good idea to Duplicate your theme (https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/managing-themes/duplicating-themes) to create a backup copy. This makes it easy to discard your changes and start again if you need to;
4. Click Actions > Edit code;

5. When you click a file in the directory on the left, it opens in the code editor. You can open and edit multiple files at once. Any files that you modify will show a dot next to the file name.
Please select Layout/ theme.liquid. Find <body> tag and paste your code after it.

6. Save.
1. For setting up SDK tracking, you should log in to Google Tag Manager.
2. You should choose your project and click on the gear as on the screenshot below.

3. Click “Install Google Tag Manager”

4. On this page you will see the way of the correct script installation.

5. Now you should go to the 1st page and click on the link of the web page.

6. Choose “Default Workspace”

7. You should go to the “Tags” tab and create a new one

8. Go to the Tag Configuration

9. Choose Custom HTML

10. You should choose the Triggering type and save it

11. For the final step, you should click on the “Submit” button

Below you can find examples of scripts.

Click:

<script> (function() { var el = document.createElement('script'); el.setAttribute('id', 'resbdmsnk01fqtr'); el.setAttribute('src', 'https://res.bdmsnk.com/sdk/sc.js'); el.setAttribute('data-appid', '184ce720-3c97-0139-5889-22000a9c5d2b'); el.setAttribute('data-tracking_rev', '2007027'); document.head.appendChild(el); })(); </script>

Conversion:

<script> (function() { var el = document.createElement('script'); el.setAttribute('id', 'resbdmsnk01fqtr'); el.setAttribute('src', 'https://res.bdmsnk.com/sdk/sc.js'); el.setAttribute('data-appid', '184ce720-3c97-0139-5889-22000a9c5d2b'); el.setAttribute('data-tracking_rev', '2007027'); el.setAttribute('data-conv', '1'); document.head.appendChild(el); })(); </script>

If you are setting up SDK tracking without GTM, you can use scripts (example) as below:

Click:
<script id="resbdmsnk01fqtr" src="https://res.bdmsnk.com/sdk/sc.js" data-appid="184ce720-3c97-0139-5889-22000a9c5d2b" data-tracking_rev="2007027" ></script>

Conversion:
<script id="resbdmsnk01fqtr" src="https://res.bdmsnk.com/sdk/sc.js" data-appid="184ce720-3c97-0139-5889-22000a9c5d2b" data-tracking_rev="2007027" data-conv="1"></script>

How to check if SDK was set up correctly

For check if the SDK was set up correctly, you need to open the webpage where you put the tracker and open the console. There you should go to the “network” tab and type “bd” in the search window. If everything was set up correctly, you should see status code: 200

  1. For setting up a pixel, you should create an account on Google Tag Manager
    2. In the GTM dashboard, you should open the “Overview” tab and install Google Tag Manager
    3. After you created an account, you should open DSP platform and in the “Advertisers” tab find the Pixel IMG Tag and copy it. More information you can find in the “Advertisers” section or in the article “How to get platform tracking pixel”
    4. Then you should go to the “Tags” tab and choose the configuration of the tag. You should choose “Custom HTML”
    5. After that, you should paste the pixel from the DSP platform in the HTML window.
    6. Then you should choose the trigger (action you would like to be counted as conversion) for the pixel.
    7. After all these steps, you should save it and submit.
