- 10. 3 2 1 Always A/B test and utilise a share of your budget for testing to ensure that you are able to identify new high performing audiences, publishers, formats etc. Utilise insights from all areas possible to inform targeting strategies, prior to launching a campaign. This could include previous campaign insights, consumer insight data, survey data etc. Structure your activity in your DSP in a way that allows you to report at the level of granularity that is required against your strategies, whilst still being able to manage the optimisation of your campaign. Ensure that those responsible for activating your campaigns in DSPs have a robust approach to ensuring brand safety and eliminating fraud to maximise the impact of your investment. This should include utilisation of both native DSP settings, whitelisting (sites and exchanges), as well as third party verification. CONSTANTLY A/B TESTING WELL STRUCTURED INSIGHT DRIVEN BRAND SAFE/FRAUD FREE 4 FREQUENTLY OPTIMISED 5 Campaigns should never be treated as a ‘set and forget’ strategy, they need to be frequently optimised and monitored when using both manual and algorithmic optimisation. There are a number of optimisations which can be made to a campaign and it is critical to monitor the impact that your optimisations have on performance. HOW TO DELIVER ON THE BEST PRACTICES 10

- 19. 3 2 1 Your DMP must be able to integrate with your existing key technologies e.g. CRM, DSP etc. to ensure that you can ingest data and activate against it. Consider how easily you can push data for activation and potential match rates with chosen partners. Ingest data from a variety of sources, focusing on those which will help you to deliver against your use cases, ensuring that you tackle the quick wins which will deliver tangible business results. Segment your data into audiences clearly with a consistent naming convention, keeping data hygiene and ease of use in mind. You should consider the regularity with which your data is refreshed in your segments. Your segments and naming conventions should be set in a way that allows you to gain valuable insights back from the usage and performance of your DMP. These insights should be utilised to further enhance your strategy. INTEGRATION & ACTIVATION DATA SEGMENTATION DATA INGESTION INSIGHT 4 DMP BEST PRACTICES 19

- 25. FEATURES OF DYNAMIC CREATIVE OPTIMISATION 25 DATA FEEDS AUTO-OPTIMISATION PERFORMANCE LED COMPLEX Utilise data feeds to inform creative decisioning. This could include time, device, weather, location, retargeting information, product catalogues, special offers, store information etc. Optimisations can be made to the creative by changing things such as the CTA, ad copy, images, offers etc. However, they must be able to replace each other without requiring adjustments to the formatting of the ad structure itself. DCO is typically used for large performance led campaigns where the number of impressions justifies the opportunity cost for testing so many variations and will provide statistical relevance when analysing creative performance DCO can be a complex process to define and implement, so a clear plan and timescales should be developed involving all necessary stakeholders 25
- 26. DYNAMIC CREATIVE OPTIMISATION PROCESS 26 Build dynamic creative use cases Build creative template and assign dynamic elements Identify required data sources Audit and align data sets Build dynamic rulesUpload to adserverTestOptimise creative rules Planning teams. Are the main use cases to reduce creative production or increase personalisation. Creative production. If the approach is data led, what data is required and where is it sourced? Leverage the expertise of your DCO partner. Technical teams. Is the data consistent enough to be used? Engage site/feed managers and adops teams. Planning teams/Creative production. Decide on what elements in the creative will be personalised. Creative production/Planning teams. Link the data sources and dynamic elements by implementing creative rules. AdOps/Creative production. The creative must be pushed to the adserver by the production team and then applied to campaign tags by the adserver manager. Media execution. Programmatic traders or partners must then test the creative. AdOps and your DCO partner can be leveraged to pull creative reports from the adserver. Creative production/Planning teams. Creative rules should be optimised towards high performing rule sets. This can be done using machine learning with some providers.

It can be a lengthy process to identify the cause of errors, so allow time for this in your QA process BEST PRACTICE APPROACH TO DCO 27
