  • Publication number: 20220215409
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, simulation and prediction system, and computer program product for advertising portfolio management are disclosed. An example method includes simulating, by executing a first simulated model utilizing a weight matrix, a first user provided scenario of an advertising campaign and collecting time series stimulus data and time series response data for marketing channels of the advertising campaign. The example method also includes reducing computational resource consumption associated with generating an updated version of the first simulated model by applying the time series stimulus data and the time series response data to the first simulated model to generate a second simulated model and simulating, by executing the second simulated model, a second user provided scenario of the advertising campaign to determine an effect of a change in a marketing media spend value of a first marketing channel on other ones of the marketing channels of the advertising campaign.

  • Patent number: 11288684
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, simulation and prediction system, and computer program product for advertising portfolio management. Embodiments commence upon receiving data comprising a plurality of marketing stimulations and respective measured responses, both pertaining to a first time period. A computer is used to form a multi-channel simulation model, where the simulation model accepts the marketing stimulations then outputs simulated responses. The simulation model is used for determining cross-channel weights to apply to the respective measured responses pertaining to the first time period. The simulation model is updated to reflect updated marketing stimulations pertaining to a second time period. The updated marketing stimulations overwrite some of the plurality of marketing stimulations captured in the first time period.

  • Publication number: 20180005261
    Abstract: A system and method for allocating credit for an advertising conversion among various advertising touchpoints encounter by the consumer is provided. The system and method comprise receiving data pertaining to touchpoints and conversions of an advertising campaign across multiple channels. Users are correlated across the channels and the various conversions, touchpoints, and touchpoint attributes are identified. Each touchpoint attribute and touchpoint attribute value is assigned a weight. An attribution algorithm is selected, and coefficients are calculated using the assigned weights. The algorithm is executed and true scores corresponding to the touchpoints encountered by each converting user are computed.

  • Publication number: 20170300832
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for advertising portfolio management. The method form processes steps for determining effectiveness of marketing stimulations in a plurality of marketing channels included in a marketing campaign. The method commences upon receiving data comprising a plurality of marketing stimulations and respective measured responses, then determining from the marketing stimulations and the respective measured responses, a set of cross-channel weights to apply to the respective measured responses, where the cross-channel weights are indicative of the influence that a particular stimulation applied to a first channel has on the measure responses of other channels. The cross-channel weights are used in calculating the effectiveness of a particular marketing stimulation over an entire marketing campaign.

  • Publication number: 20150186927
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for computer-aided management of marketing and advertising campaigns. Operations commence upon displaying a maximum efficiency response curve of a media portfolio, where the maximum efficiency response curve comprises a range of response values resulting from a given set of media portfolio input characteristics. A maximum efficiency ROI curve of the media portfolio is displayed, where the maximum efficiency ROI curve comprises a range of ROI values resulting from the set of media portfolio input characteristics. A user provides a prospective quantitative change to alter the media portfolio input characteristics in the media portfolio. The output response of the media portfolio to the prospective change is modeled, and suggested media plan reallocation values are displayed. An ROI value resulting from the prospective set of media portfolio input characteristics is displayed in juxtaposition to the maximum efficiency ROI curve.
