Attribution Management Forum Draws Leaders in Online Advertising as Kickoff Webcast Approaches

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

The mission of the Forum, sponsored by ClearSaleing and Search Marketing Now, is to define attribution management practices and methodologies.

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) October 22, 2008 – With the Kickoff Webcast for the Attribution Management Forum rapidly approaching, ClearSaleing has announced the Forum will have many influential names from the Internet marketing community in attendance. The goal of the Attribution Management Forum is to bring together the leading minds in the online advertising community in order to better identify, define and ultimately recommend better valuation practices and methodologies for measuring an ad’s value.

ClearSaleing has announced that, among other influencers who will be in attendance, the Attribution Management Forum Kickoff Webcast will feature many of the most influential authors in the online advertising industry, including: David Rodnitzky, Vice President of Strategy for PPCAdBuying in San Francisco; Kevin Ryan, CEO of strategic consulting firm Motivity Marketing and chairman of the Search Engine Strategies Advisory Board; and David Szetela, founder and CEO of Clix Marketing.

“We are extremely pleased with the turnout thus far,” said Adam Goldberg, ClearSaleing’s co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer. “We expected to see strong interest across the online advertising community, and it is safe to say that our expectations were exceeded. I think the reason that we were able to generate such a positive response is largely due to the gravity of the issues that the Attribution Management Forum seeks to investigate.”

Besides the list of influential writers in the industry, the Forum has also attracted several major online advertisers, including American Greetings, General Motors, and Nationwide Insurance. There are also several interactive agencies who will be in attendance, including Rosetta (formerly Brulant) and The Booyah Agency.

“Those who attend the webcast will benefit from the experience and knowledge of all the influencers in attendance because of our Forum’s unique presentation style,” Goldberg continued. “We will make use of interactive polling questions to generate a ‘town hall’ style debate, ensuring that every angle of attribution management is covered.”

The Attribution Management Kickoff Webcast will take place on October 28th at 1:00 PM EST. Those interested can learn more about the Forum and register for the webcast at the following link: http://www.clearsaleing.com/attributionforum.

Attribution Scenarios

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

During the Attribution Management Forum webcast on October 28th, 2008, several different attribution scenarios were reviewed and discussed. Each of the scenarios presented was based on real-world Purchase PathTM data that has been tracked and collected by the ClearSaleing advertising analytics platform. The purpose of reviewing the various scenarios was to get feedback from leading online marketing practitioners relative to the most appropriate methods of attributing value across the team of ads involved in the respective scenario. To better understand the different scenarios, they have been grouped into logical categories, each with similar underlying characteristics. The categories are as follows:

1. Paid Search and Attribution

2. Lifetime Ad Value (LAV) and Attribution

3. Display Advertising and Attribution

There are no definite answers concerning the attribution rules that should be applied, however the Forum seeks to establish a general consensus among online marketers about general valuation methods and principles that can be applied when developing a company’s own attribution rules and algorithms.
