  Talent Optimization - Culture: If you build it (right) the talent will come (and stay)

  Building Brands in a Cross-Platform World
  By Nielsen Media Research
 
  Reaching consumers wherever they are has become increasingly complicated with the proliferation of media platforms. The online industry’s continuing reliance on impressions, click-throughs and other metrics unique to the web has prevented true cross-platform comparisons. To-date, limited information has prevented marketers from understanding the audience exposed to their online ads, and an impression-based focus has allowed frequencies to reach levels that are causing waste and inefficiencies. Further to that, Nielsen research has shown that virtually no relationship exists between clicks and brand metrics or offline sales. In this paper, we explore an in-depth case study on a campaign for a popular household product that demonstrates how new solutions like Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings™ and Nielsen Online Brand Effect are giving marketers and publishers tools to increase accountability in the online space. As online grows, television continues to be a vibrant medium. However, the issue is not TV vs. digital, but rather how consumers are using both together. Thus far, the metrics allowing for this understanding have been missing. This paper shares Nielsen’s vision of how cross-platform reach and frequency metrics, as well as cross-platform ad effectiveness optimization approaches are possible.

  Meet The Screens
  By BBDO
 
  All screens are not created equal. Not long ago, there was just one screen in our lives. The TV. It was front and center in the living room; everyone surrounded it at predetermined times. Now screens surround us – they’re on our desks, in our laps, in our pockets. They’re in airports, on airplanes, in cabs, in grocery store aisles, and on gas pumps. We’re entertained by them, informed by them, challenged by them, connected by them. We watch them, write on them, work on them and play on them. In fact, screens are so ubiquitous, we don’t think or feel much about them. Or do we? Are screens just sheets of glass that deliver content? Or are they something more? Do they have distinct personalities? Do consumers feel differently and interact differently with different screens? And, as marketers, should the content we create be tailored to the screen on which it will appear?

  Reaching the Right Audiences Online: Early Findings from Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings
  By Nielsen
 
  Marketers, especially brand advertisers, need a simple and consistent way to measure the combined reach of TV, the web and mobile advertising to determine marketing ROI. It all comes down to a few simple questions: How many people saw my ad? How many times? Who are they? Getting accurate answers has its challenges depending on the medium. Online, with underlying technology that’s unlike any other medium, can more effectively control who gets served what ad. But, despite these technological advances, understanding the demographics of the people behind all those page views presents a new set of questions.

  CSO Back Story: How Chief Sustainability Officers Reached the C-Suite
  By Weinreb Group
 
  For years, businesses have pursued sustainability. Perhaps not the green, social or environmental kind but certainly the economic kind. Their shareholders have made sure of it. Now, another kind of stakeholder has emerged, that influences corporate behavior. They push corporations to recalculate the social and environmental consequences of doing business. And some companies respond by rethinking how they strategize for the long term. As SAP’s Chief Sustainability Officer Peter Graf says, “Make yourcorporate strategy a sustainable one.” Therein comes the latest executive to join the powerful C-suite: the Chief Sustainability Officer.

  Building a Culture of Measurements
  By Webtrends
 
  Without a doubt, we are living in a big data world where businesses are amassing unprecedented stores of information about their programs, campaigns and customers that are reaching epic proportions. Yet, amid these petabytes of data lie stories of success that paint a compelling picture of business in the twenty-first century. Organizations that have harnessed the ability to unearth these stories are effectively using data as a means to advance their organizations to success. They’ve achieved this by building cultures of measurement that recognize the value of data at multiple levels within their companies starting at executive management and cascading through to tactical specialists. Yet, nurturing a program of measurement that has a profound impact on an organization in this way requires time, diligence and planning.

  The Considered Purchase Decision: What Matters, What Doesn’t And What It Means For B2B Marketing and Sales
  By TriComB2B
 
  Over the last decade, the amount of information available to help guide B2B marketing decisions has exploded. Reputable information sources such as MarketingSherpa, MarketingProfs, GlobalSpec and others provide us with valuable insights as to what other B2B marketers are doing and why. But in all the research we’ve seen, one key ingredient seems to be missing. What does the actual B2B decision maker or influencer think? Does anyone really understand the issues influencing their considered purchase decisions?

  The State of the African-American Consumer
  By Nielsen
 
  In more than 100 countries around the world, Nielsen provides clients with the most complete understanding of what consumers watch and buy. As business executives look for opportunities to grow their companies and gain market share it is critical that they understand new and emerging demands from consumers, especially within growing segments, wherever they do business. As the population of the United States evolves to become more ethnically diverse, the complexity of such an effort has grown. To help close the gap and give insight as to how to address the needs of the growing diverse base, Nielsen—along with the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA)—has developed this report to better illustrate the qualities of the African-American community, the business opportunities that exist, and the best methods for a productive connection between businesses and this community. The African-American population is, today, the largest racial minority group in America, with a population of close to 43 million. This market segment’s growth rate continues to exceed the overall population’s growth and is making continued gains in the area of education and income. The collective buying power of the African-American population is projected to be at $1.1 trillion by 2015. Collectively the group over-indexes in several key categories (television viewing, mobile phone usage and trips to grocery channels) and exerts a large influence on popular culture and trends, indicative of the high growth industries of the future. The three areas we have chosen to focus on for this report include a review of demographic characteristics, a survey of the programs and mediums favored by the group, and a look at overall consumer packaged goods buying behavior.
