Expose Hidden Media Waste

Understanding Side-by-Side Channel Mix

A side-by-side channel mix analysis uncovers waste in your media spending. By comparing CTV/OTT, OLV, streaming audio, and other channels, you can find where you might be overspending. This approach helps identify areas where optimization is needed. You’ll see which channels overlap and where your message may be repeating too often to the same audience. This insight is crucial for efficient budget allocation.

Identifying Over-Frequency and Duplicate Reach

Over-frequency happens when your audience sees your ads too many times. Duplicate reach means your ads are shown to the same people across different platforms. Both lead to wasted budget. To avoid this, analyze your media channels to ensure each one targets a unique audience. You’ll want to cap frequency where possible and adjust your strategy to reduce overlap. This can increase your campaign’s effectiveness without raising costs.

Tackling Inflated CPMs and Underperforming Segments

Inflated CPMs (cost per thousand impressions) can drain your budget quickly. Some segments may not perform as well as others, leading to wasted spend. A thorough analysis will help you pinpoint which parts of your campaign aren’t delivering the returns you need. Focus on reallocating your budget to high-performing segments and consider shifting to wholesale CTV/OTT pricing for better efficiency.

Strategic Budget Allocation Techniques

Strategic budget allocation is about making your money work smarter. Start by identifying the highest-performing channels from your analysis. Allocate more budget to these channels while reducing spend on underperformers. Consider a mix of CTV/OTT and other high-ROAS tactics. This balanced approach can enhance your overall return on ad spend.
