  • Publication number: 20170214951
    Abstract: A digital medium environment is described to determine textual content that is responsible for causing a viewing spike within a video. Video analytics data associated with a video is queried. The video analytics data identifies a number of previous user viewing s at various locations within the video. A viewing spike within the video is detected using the video analytics data. The viewing spike corresponds to an increase in the number of previous user viewings of the video that begins at a particular location within the video. Then, text of one or more video sources or video referral sources read by users prior to viewing the video from the particular location within the video is analyzed to identify textual content that is at least partially responsible for causing the viewing spike.

  • Publication number: 20170206571
    Abstract: Techniques for generating leads for consumers using IoT devices at brick-and-mortar stores are provided. A retailer can determine a consumer's level of interest in a product and provide information or other benefits to the consumer. In some embodiments, sensor data from at least one of one or more consumer devices or IoT devices are received, the sensor data being indicative of interaction of a consumer with a product. One or more interactions of the consumer with the product are determined based on the received sensor data. An interaction database is searched for an interaction mapped to specific sensor data requirements matching the received sensor data. A leads score is calculated based on the one or more interactions, the leads score indicating an interest level of the consumer in the product. When the leads score exceeds a threshold, a lead is generated for the consumer.

  • Publication number: 20170169455
    Abstract: Offline consumer behavior and interactions are observed using beacons positioned at venues where consumers spend time and interact with each other. The beacons communicate with mobile computing devices that are carried by the observed consumers. The observed consumer behavior provides actionable insights into how consumers influence each other. For example, the people that a particular consumer spends time with form a “circle of influence” associated with that consumer. If the consumer makes a purchase, members of the circle of influence are observed to understand the degree to which they were influenced by the purchase, if at all. Metrics that quantify a consumer's influence over other consumers allow marketers to more effectively target both the influencing and influenced consumers. Also, if relatively little information is known about a particular consumer, that consumer's digital marketing profile can be supplemented using information known about the consumers with whom he/she often spends time.
