Playbook’s proprietary account audit uncovered three areas of significant growth and performance opportunity:

  • A more effective mix of media channels, powered by predictive analytics
  • Platform-specific optimizations fueled by back-end data integration
  • New creative

Before Playbook began management of NCSA’s ad accounts, the brand was relying on last-touch attribution that diminished the value of NCSA’s brand. After leading a months-long project to clean and segment NCSA’s internal data, Playbook partnered with ChannelMix to develop customized real-time media mix models to inform the statistical impact of marketing efforts on revenue. With the media mix models implemented, Playbook redistributed NCSA’s marketing budget to maximize impact. Playbook complemented the models with in-platform lift studies for a complete picture of incremental growth per channel.
