Attribution 2020: Leap or Be Left Behind

Three trends LeadsRx predicts will rock the marketing attribution landscape

PORTLAND, OR / ACCESSWIRE / December 17, 2019 / Marketing attribution is poised for a challenging leap in 2020. The innovators and early adopters have been feasting, optimizing return on ad spend (ROAS) by deploying sophisticated universal tracking and multi-touch technologies.

The competition is catching up. In 2020, marketing attribution will cross the chasm into widespread adoption. As the industry jumps forward, marketing attribution software company LeadsRx is looking into its impartial multi-touch attribution crystal ball to identify three challenging trends that will separate winning marketers from those who get left behind:

Virtual is Reality

LeadsRx prediction for marketing executives: In 2020 courageous marketers need to factor in virtual assisted technologies and how they are impacting their understanding of the customer journey. Those who prepare will reap the significant ROAS opportunities; those who don't will experience a growing blind spot in their marketing vision.

Virtual assistants – including intelligent chatbots and other forms of artificial intelligence (AI) – will play a vital role in the customer journey. In the next five years, AI is expected to manage 70 percent to 90 percent of all initial customer interactions. Marketers who aren't including this important touchpoint in their attribution modeling stand to lose out on critically important insights.

The rapid adoption of AI technologies, coupled with the high level of trust they've engendered in both buyers and sellers, has elevated virtual assistants (VA's) well beyond the role of menial task managers. VA's now provide critical touchpoints in the customer journey.

In the automotive industry, intelligent chatbots are motivating online shoppers to visit showrooms, leading to vehicle sales. The chatbot has become a salesperson-initiating conversation, answering questions, building trust-before passing the customer to a human being to complete the transaction.

Layered on top of the VA boom is the increasing use of smart speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Home. Ownership of these devices in the US grew 140 percent from 2017 to 2018. With voice commands, consumers can have an entirely virtual buying experience from start to finish, without the ad views and clicks that marketers rely on.

A Bridge to Streaming

LeadsRx prediction for marketing executives: Embrace customers across all broadcast mediums to build long lasting relationships. Success requires employing universal tracking technologies that bridge across streaming platforms spanning TV, radio, podcasts and mobile gaming.

As the streaming audience surpasses many traditional channels, universal tracking technologies need to span and incorporate systems like addressable TV and streaming radio.

An estimated 3.5 million households cut the cord on pay TV last year, underscoring a clear message from consumers: they want their content when they want it, where they want it. As a result, a higher percentage of US households now have a video streaming subscription than have a pay TV subscription.

Those households are creating a la carte solutions, subscribing to an average of three video streaming services to get the features they value most. More than half of Millennials and Gen Z consumers also subscribe to streaming services for music and gaming.

This patchwork landscape presents an opportunity for intrepid attribution marketers. Ad spend on streaming services increasingly requires a tactical and targeted approach, as consumers have cited ad load as a major reason for turning away from traditional channels.

A recent study indicates that viewers have a maximum tolerance of sixteen minutes of ads per hour, with a Goldilocks target of eight minutes. Traditional pay TV peaks at roughly twenty minutes of advertising per hour. In addition to the time threshold, viewers are particularly turned off by frequent repetition of the same ads.

Radio Sets the Tone

LeadsRx prediction for marketing executives: The radio industry's pervasive success using marketing attribution set a benchmark and major brands are reaping the rewards. In 2020, there will be a marked increase in the number global and local brands and agencies applying the same techniques to their digital spend and arming themselves with attribution data that can be easily communicated to C-level executives in a compelling, relatable manner.

The radio industry's dominant use of marketing attribution to track conversions and web lift will spread into mainstream adoption, likely triggering a tipping point for all mediums including digital, direct mail, telemarketing, out-of-home, and more. A recent joint study from iHeartMedia and LeadsRx on the Five Secrets for Automotive Advertising showcases how smart advertisers are leveraging attribution to optimize ad campaigns on radio.

The coming year will no doubt spark innumerable conversations about the digital-first mindset, the Internet of Things and the emergence of any number of new technologies. Easy in that environment for marketers to fall into a herd mentality, placing their ad faith-and budget-in Facebook, Google and Instagram.

In 2020, data-driven marketers will be wise to break from the herd and model an unlikely trendsetter: radio. The industry has been dominant in recent years in the use of attribution to build transparency and accountability into their advertising. Nearly all major radio broadcasters now offer attribution insights as part of their selling team's toolset making this pervasive use a de facto standard.

Our joint 2019 Attribution Marketing study of direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands with broadcaster Westwood One found that on average, advertising on radio drove a 21 percent increase in shoppers on their websites. That's comparable to Google/Facebook, more than 17 percent, and TV, greater than 19 percent, but with significantly lower investment, yielding a much higher ROI for radio.

The message to marketing executives is not that radio is effective, it's that radio can prove that it's effective through impartial, multi-touch attribution. Until recently, radio didn't have that capability, and advertisers favored digital ads simply because the results could be measured, not because the ads were more effective. With accurate, insightful attribution, many big advertisers have moved back into radio.

P&G to use Agara’s Real-time Voice AI for handling millions of consumer calls each year

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 17, 2019 / Since 2018, Agara has handled over half a million consumer support emails for Procter & Gamble, an American multinational consumer goods corporation, improving its query handling efficiency by over 30% while delivering a better consumer experience, and improved quality scores. P&G intends to expand the success to phone support calls using Agara's state-of-the-art Real-time Voice AI system to provide highly contextual suggestions to advisers in real-time.

Being one of the few platforms that can handle live phone calls, Agara combines 14 Deep Learning modules to suggest the best actions to handle consumer queries and reduce the number of screens an adviser must deal with to one – often reducing it from as high as nine. The Real-time Voice AI handles speech-to-text conversion, recognizes intents, detects consumer's emotional state, extracts information from the discussion and navigates a myriad of IT systems to help the adviser with what they should respond, gives them the information they need, shows them the consumer's details, and guides them through company policies. Agara's solution drives a significant difference in an industry where human-centric consumer service can be re-oriented to its original and most important purpose, which is actively listening and mastering the consumer conversation, enhanced by the power of AI.

Trained on more than 3 million consumer support queries and 60,000 hours of consumer support calls, the Real-time Voice AI can handle hundreds of calls simultaneously and instantly, while integrating the human adviser in the process. This is a huge assistance not only for advisers during holiday seasons and support volume spikes (where abandoned calls in this industry can climb up to 80% in average), but also for the general brand image, as dissatisfied consumers quickly share their negative views on social media.

Agara, which raised over $3M in venture capital from Kleiner Perkins, Blume Ventures and RTP Global, has helped over 300 advisers for 60+ brands serve more than 1 million consumers in 6 countries and 2 languages in the past 12 months. This number is expected to grow as global expansion across P&G markets and languages continues to expand rapidly in the next year.

P&G is deploying Agara across its US and Canada call centers in a phased manner. Upon full rollout, the system will be assisting with over a million phone calls each year.

Rosa Maria Cruz, P&G Global Consumer Relations Americas leader and Global CIO stated, "Agara's partnership has been strategic in our vision of creating delightful P&G consumer experiences, where Augmented Intelligence gifts our advisers with "super-powers", allowing them to focus on building trusted consumer relationships at scale that bring to life the superiority of our brands and products, touching and improving our consumers' lives".

Abhimanyu, founder and CEO of Agara said, "The implementation of Agara's Real-time Voice AI at P&G is the largest implementation of its kind in the world. It is also the first major milestone in the journey towards a voice-first interface that Agara is building for business-to-consumer communication. Our next milestone would be the rollout of the world's first fully autonomous Conversational Voice AI which will set the standards for future bots".

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 17, 2019 / Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (CSE:CMC – OTCQB:CWSFF) ("Cielo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Lionel Robins to the Board of Directors of Cielo.

The Renewable U Companies have advanced $1 million CAD to date to Cielo and have agreed to pay 100% of the costs, as well as a 7% management fee to Cielo to build the first JV Refinery in each territory at an estimated cost of approximately $50 million CAD per refinery (increased from the previously anticipated cost of $20 million CAD per JV Refinery as a result of the revised plans to increase the scale and output to 4,000 liters per hour). Each JV Refinery is expected to employ approximately 50 people during the construction and commissioning stages and will be engineered to produce about 32 million litres a year of renewable fuels.

Mr. Robins commented, "I am honored to be invited to join Cielo's Board of Directors and look forward to assisting Cielo in deploying its proprietary technology first in Alberta and then worldwide."

Cielo is also pleased to announce that The Weather Network has created a video from a recent interview with Cielo's President and CEO, Don Allan, which is now accessible on their website – www.theweathernetwork.com.

Mr. Don Allan, President and CEO of Cielo, further comments: "We are extremely pleased with the media attention that Cielo is receiving. We believe the green technology that we are working towards commercializing globally has the potential to make the planet a better place for generations to come. Cielo's business model is to build one of the greenest public company possible.

Animal Health Industry Veteran Will Strengthen Management Team as MYOS Expands Its Veterinary Business in 2020

CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / December 17, 2019 / MYOS RENS Technology, Inc. ("MYOS" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:MYOS), an advanced nutrition company and the owner of Fortetropin®, a proprietary bioactive composition made from fertilized egg yolk that helps build lean muscle, announced today that Albert Ahn, DVM has joined MYOS as a Strategic Adviser to guide the development and expansion of its animal health business of Fortetropin-based canine muscle health formulas. Dr. Ahn is a veteran of the Animal Health Industry with over 25 years of industry experience, including roles as President at AB Science, USA, a canine oncology company; Chief Scientific Officer at Summit VetPharm, a division of Sumitomo Corporation of America, in addition to roles at Hill's Pet Nutrition.

"We are delighted that Dr. Ahn has joined MYOS as a Strategic Adviser to the Company," stated Joseph Mannello, CEO of MYOS. "We believe Dr. Ahn's experience in animal health, product development, and launch will strengthen MYOS Canine Muscle Health Formula®'s ("Myos Canine") reach in the pet industry, which has been experiencing explosive growth—there are over 90 million dogs in the U.S. alone, with over 70 million being seen by veterinarians on a regular basis. Our pets are living longer and quality-of-life issues pertain to them as well as humans—our canine product addresses muscle health, improving the odds for canines that live longer, to have a better chance of living better into their golden years.

MYOS' products provide the potential to improve the quality of life for both man and man's best friend," added Dr. Ahn.

"This past year was a transformative year for MYOS, overall, and specifically for our animal health business, as we obtained positive results on Fortetropin from a veterinary clinical study at Kansas State University. In addition to establishing distribution for our branded MYOS Canine product with Amazon and Chewy.com, we have experienced strong sales growth from MYOS Canine since its launch in 2018, along with a groundswell of loyalty among pet owners and veterinarians across the United States.

EyeGate Pharma Receives $1.9 Million from Exercised Warrants

WALTHAM, MA / ACCESSWIRE / December 17, 2019 / EyeGate Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:EYEG) ("EyeGate" or "the Company") announced today that it has received approximately $1.9 million from the exercise of warrants subsequent to the release of positive topline data on November 22, 2019 for its pivotal corneal wound repair study.

The Company is currently evaluating several strategic options in order to determine the best path forward. Following the receipt of warrant exercise proceeds, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash to fund its planned operations through this evaluation process.

In addition, the Company has received the full data package for this study and is now working on the De Novo application. The Company plans to file the application with the FDA for commercialization in the first half of 2020. As previously disclosed, the data did not include any additional efficacy or safety information.

About EyeGate

EyeGate is a clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for treating diseases and disorders of the eye.

EyeGate's lead product, Ocular Bandage Gel ("OBG"), is based on a modified form of the natural polymer hyaluronic acid, which is a gel that possesses unique properties providing hydration and healing when applied to the ocular surface. EyeGate is in the clinic for two different patient populations: photorefractive keratectomy ("PRK") surgery to demonstrate corneal wound repair and punctate epitheliopathies ("PE"), which includes the treatment of dry eye.

The objective of OBG is to re-epithelialize the cornea, reduce the risk of infection, improve symptoms, and improve ocular surface integrity. Often current treatments fall short as they are ineffective in protecting and enabling corneal re-epithelialization.

If EyeGate receives FDA approval following successful completion of the PRK pivotal study, EyeGate believes OBG will be the only prescription hyaluronic acid eye drop in the U.S. and the only eye drop in the U.S. approved for the healing of corneal epithelial defects.

Vial also known as phial or flacon, is a small plastic or a glass bottle or vessel. Vials are primarily used to store medication such as powders, liquids or capsules. In the past, vials were made of glass, but now, various plastic materials, including polypropylene are being used in manufacturing vials. Varieties of closed systems are used during the manufacturing of vials, including screw vials and crimp vials. In addition, plastic vials can have various other types of closure systems including flip-tops or snap caps. A vial can either be bottle shaped or can have a bottle-like shape with a neck. The volume that is defined by the neck of the vial is called the headspace.

Based on the Glass, fused silica is glass consisting of silica in amorphous (non-crystalline) form. It differs from traditional glasses in containing no other ingredients, which are typically added to glass to lower the melt temperature. Fused silica, therefore, has high working and melting temperatures. Although the terms fused quartz and fused silica are used interchangeably, the optical and thermal properties of fused silica are superior to those of fused quartz and other types of glass due to its purity.
