EDO: Measuring Consumer Engagement in TV Advertising

When people discuss digital advertising, they often omit traditional broadcast channels like television and radio. But the broadcast company of yesterday is no longer just broadcasting… they’re capturing engagement metrics and usage down to the second. Every interaction you’re making on your remote is being recorded to better optimize programming and target advertising. What was once the advantage of modern streaming services is now being incorporated into traditional television advertising.

A better means of capturing purchase intent is by aligning television commercials with second-screen organic searches. A consumer watches a commercial and then does a search for the item on their mobile device or tablet. One company that’s leading the way aligning these transactions is EDO. Buyers and sellers of TV advertising rely on their data to measure how well their national TV airings drive consumers into their marketing and purchase funnels. They’ve proven time and again that consumer engagement reveals purchase intent. They call the technology Search Engagement.

What is Search Engagement?

Search Engagement occurs when the consumer transforms from a passive recipient of messages to an active participant in the purchasing process by searching online for the advertiser’s offering. By precisely aligning ad airings with search activity, EDO helps advertisers guide consumers effectively through their marketing funnels to the point of transaction.

Search Engagement: The Moment of Truth

How TV Ad Engagement Works:

  1. EDO measures consumer Search Engagement across major brands and products, capturing data granular enough to precisely attribute consumer engagement to specific TV ad airings.
  2. Drawing on EDO’s set of historical ad airings (TV Ad Database) their data science team develops statistical techniques that unlock meaningful insights for ad buyers and sellers.
  3. Clients use these insights to measure performance of their creatives, TV media, TV campaigns, and their competitors’ efforts.
  4. EDO experts work with clients to probe into complex questions to optimize and improve future campaigns by isolating the attributes of TV that are most effective at driving Search Engagement.
