Dominion Enterprises Deploys New Service from Omniture and 24/7 to
Serve Visitors More Relevant Ads; Joint Solution Combines Online
Analytics with Publisher-side Ad Management
OREM, Utah & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 14, 2009--
Omniture, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMTR), a leading provider of online
business optimization software, and 24/7 Real Media Inc., a WPP
company (NASDAQ: WPPGY) and a leader in global digital marketing, today
announced that Dominion Enterprises is deploying an integrated ad
management and analytics offering from the two companies to increase the
value of its advertising inventory. Dominion Enterprises, a leading
publisher of niche consumer information sites such as Homes.com and
ForRent.com, is examining this service on its online properties to serve
more targeted advertising and to produce completed-loop reporting on
advertising effectiveness.
Dominion Enterprises will be able to utilize the joint solution to serve
relevant ads on its online properties through 24/7’s Open AdStream®
platform, which are targeted to customized visitor segments created via
Omniture SiteCatalyst. The custom segments are built based on data, such
as time spent on site and number of return visits, that is shared
between SiteCatalyst and Open AdStream. Publishers such as Dominion
Enterprises can leverage Open AdStream’s intelligent ad decisioning and
delivery capabilities to serve the most appropriate ad to users in each
visitor segment, enabling maximum revenue generation for the publisher’s
Web site. Data segments from Omniture SiteCatalyst are actionable in the
Open AdStream platform, enabling publishers to deliver more relevant and
targeted ads. To better understand how the defined visitor segments
interact with particular ads, Dominion Enterprises measures advertising
metrics such as impressions, clickthroughs, cost per click, cost per
action and ad revenue as well as analytics metrics provided by Omniture
SiteCatalyst and Open AdStream. Additionally, publishers can view
segment, creative and other performance-based campaign metrics in the
Open AdStream interface, and export that data to SiteCatalyst where
campaign metrics are correlated with site-wide visitation metrics to
provide deeper insight into campaign performance. The integration of
data on both ends better informs publishers’ marketing decisions, such
as forecasting revenue and ad inventory.
“The Omniture and 24/7 Real Media joint solution provides an additional
tool to advertisers to reach a more qualified audience for their ads,
which results in stronger leads,” said Kevin Rogers, Web analyst at
Dominion Enterprises. “By understanding which ads are more relevant to
particular visitor segments, we have an additional way to drive
conversions for our advertisers, which helps us increase the value of
our advertising inventory.”
This integration further develops the strategic partner relationship
announced in January 2009 between WPP and Omniture. The partner
relationship provides clients with more effective insights globally
across both digital and traditional media channels. Open AdStream is
24/7 Real Media’s proprietary, award-winning ad serving and campaign
management platform that combines the powerful business intelligence of
Web analytics and targeted advertising with a world-class management
platform across every digital channel.
“Through this cutting-edge integration, 24/7 Real Media’s publishers and
marketers will be better equipped to engage their audiences with
targeted advertising messages,” said Nicolle Pangis, vice president,
product management, global media and technology for 24/7 Real Media,
Inc. “Publishers such as Dominion Enterprises are now discovering how
extensively this new capability aggregates their wealth of information
to further understand and leverage that data in real time.”
“Prior to this integration, publishers have not been able to optimize ad
delivery based on valuable information about the ways visitors interact
with content,” said John Mellor, executive vice president of business
development and corporate strategy at Omniture. “The joint solution with
Omniture SiteCatalyst and Open AdStream gives publishers such as
Dominion Enterprises the insight they need to better optimize ad
effectiveness, resulting in higher CPM rates and increased revenue.”
