Analysis of Online Advertise-Ment Performance Using Markov Chains Riku Poutanen ANALYSIS OF ONLINE ADVERTISE- MENT PERFORMANCE USING MARKOV CHAINS Case Fiksu Ruoka Oy Tekniikan ja luonnontieteiden tiedekunta Master’s thesis Maaliskuu 2020 i ABSTRACT Riku Poutanen: Analysis of online advertisement performance using Markov chains Master’s thesis Tampere University Industrial Engineering and Management March 2020 The measurement and performance analysis of online marketing is far from simple as it is usually conducted in multiple channels which results depend on each other. The results of the performance analysis can vary drastically depending on the attribution model used. An online marketing attribution analysis is needed to make better decisions on where to allocate marketing budgets. This thesis aims to provide a framework for more optimal budget alloca- tion by conducting a data-driven attribution model analysis to the case company’s dataset and comparing the results with the de-facto last-click attribution model’s results. The frame- work is currently utilized in the case company to improve the online marketing budget allo- cation and to gain better understanding of the marketing efforts. The thesis begins with literature review to online marketing, measurement techniques and most used attribution modeling models in the industry. The Markov’s attribution model was chosen to the analysis because of its promising results in other research and the ease of implementation with the dataset available. The dataset used in the analysis contains 582 111 user paths collected during 7 months period from the case company’s website. The analysis was conducted using R programming language and open source ChannelAttribution package that includes tools for fitting a k-order Markovian model in to a dataset and analyzing the results and the model’s reliability. The performance of the attribution model was analyzed using a ROC curve to evaluate the prediction accuracy of the model. The results of the research indicate the Markov’s model gives more reliable results on where to allocate the marketing budget than then last-click attribution model that is widely used in the industry. Overall the objectives of this thesis were achieved, and this study pro- vides a solid framework for marketing managers to analyze their marketing efforts and real- locate their marketing budgets in more optimal way. However, more research is needed to improve the prediction accuracy of the model and to improve the understanding of the effects of budget reallocation. Keywords: Online Marketing, Attribution, Markov’s chain The originality of this thesis has been checked using the Turnitin OriginalityCheck service. ii TIIVISTELMÄ Riku Poutanen: Digitaalisen mainonnan tehon analyysi käyttäen Markovin ketjua Diplomityö Tampereen yliopisto Tuotantotalous Maaliskuu 2020 Digitaalisen mainonnan tehon analysointi mittaaminen ja analysointi on kaukana yksinkertaisesta tehtävästä koska digitaalinen markkinointi tehdään usein samanaikaisesti monessa kanavassa ja kaikki nämä kanavat vaikuttavat toisiinsa. Analyysin tulokset vaihtelevat merkittävästi käytetystä attribuutiomalllista riippuen. Atributtioanalyysiä tarvitaan, jotta yritys osaa tehdä parempia päätöksiä siitä mihin kanavaan markkinointibudjettia kannattaa allokoida. Tämän diplomityön tavoitteena on löytää nykyistä vallalla olevaa atribuutiomallia (viimeiseen kosketukseen perustuva malli) parempi tapa allokoida budjettia eri markkinointikanaville. Diplomityössä käytetty attribuutiomalli on otettu käyttöön yrityksessä tukemaan markkinointikanavien välistä budjettien allokointia ja markkinoinnin analysointia. Työn tekeminen alkoi kirjallisuuskatsauksella digitaaliseen markkinointiin, mittaamistapoihin ja yleisimpiin atribuutiomalleihin. Työhön valikoitui atribuutiomalliksi korkeamman kertaluvun Markovin ketju, jolla on saatu aikaisemmin hyviä tuloksia saman tyyppisissä analyyseissä ja koska se oli sovitettavissa työssä mukana olleen yrityksen keräämään verkkosivujen käyttäjätietoihin. Näytedata sisälsi 582 111 käyttäjäpolkua, jotka oli kerätty 7 kuukauden aikana. Analyysi tehtiin käyttäen R ohjelmointikieltä ja ChannelAttribution vapaan lähdekoodin kirjastoa, joka sisältää työkalut korkeamman kertaluvun Markovin ketjun sovittamiseen näytedataan ja tulosten luotettavuuden analysointiin. Tulosten luotettavuutta ja mallin ennustuskykyä analysoitiin käyttämällä ROC - käyrää. Työn tulokset osoittavat, että Markovin malli antaa luotettavampia tuloksia markkinointibudjetin allokointiin kuin viimeiseen kosketukseen perustuva atribuutiomalli. Työn tavoitteet saavutettiin kokonaisuudessaan ja tämä työ tarjoaa yrityksen digitaalisesta markkinoinnista vastaaville henkilöille hyvän työkalun digitaalisen markkinoinnin tehon analysointiin ja markkinointibudjetin jakamiseen eri kanavien välillä. Lisätutkimusta vaaditaan kuitenkin, jotta mallin ennustuskykyä voidaan parantaa ja jotta ymmärrys budjetin uudelleenallokoinnin vaikutuksia voidaan ymmärtää paremmin. Avainsanat: Digitaalinen markkinointi, attribuutiomalli, Markovin ketju Tämän julkaisun alkuperäisyys on tarkastettu Turnitin OriginalityCheck –ohjelmalla. iii PREFACE I would like to thank everyone that pushed and motivated me during the thesis writing process. At first the journey seemed too long to even start with, but in the end the writing process was considerable reasonable. Special thanks for Tuuli for making sure I started the process and stuck with it even though the thesis wasn’t my highest priority and the writing was usually done on Sundays after a long week of work. I would also like to thank everyone at Fiksu Ruoka Oy so far for the amazing growth story that we have managed to build and making it possible for me to have a such an interest- ing problem to write a thesis on. Data-driven decision making is one of the most core values for the Fiksu Ruoka Oy team and this thesis is just one piece to the puzzle of building a highly optimized business that decreases food waste in the world and has a positive impact to the world we live in. Thank you also for my thesis instructor Tommi Mahlamäki for giving me comments throughout the whole writing process, understanding my time schedule challenges and of course for promoting marketing as a field of study in our university. Lastly, I would like to thank Indecs and its members for the challenges the board year offered me and all the amazing memories during my studies. Tampere, 21.3.2020 Riku Poutanen iv CONTENTS 1.

  • Maximizing Conversion Value with Marketing Analytics and Machine Learning a Braintrust Insights Case Study
    Maximizing Conversion Value with Marketing Analytics and Machine Learning A BrainTrust Insights Case Study Executive Summary The promise of digital marketing and the democratization of publishing tools was to put all brands on equal footing. The brands with the most skill at digital marketing and content creation would win, regardless of size. As advertising crept into the Internet, larger companies seized the advantage with big budgets and resources. However, the introduction of machine learning technology is leveling the playing field once more. Bigger brands, plagued with inertia and aging infrastructure, are not able to adopt new technologies as quickly, creating an opening for more nimble companies to use machine learning to seize market share. With machine learning, attribution analysis is more precise and nuanced; brands will understand the true impact of digital marketing channels, even with dozens or hundreds of steps leading to a conversion. Once a brand understands what truly drives business impact, it can extend its advantage using machine learning and predictive analytics to forecast likely business outcomes. Predictive forecasts give us a starting point, a roadmap for planning that’s truly data-driven. Instead of guessing when things are likely to happen in general, predictive analytics give us specificity, granularity to allocate budget and resources with precision. Nimble brands spend only when they need to, only when they are likely to generate outsized returns. Finally, predictive analytics and machine learning help us to understand what will be on the minds of our customers and when, allowing us to create strategies, tactics, and plans of execution that astonish and delight customers.

  • EPIC FTC Google Purchase Tracking Complaint
    Before the Federal Trade Commission Washington, DC In the Matter of ) ) Google Inc. ) ) ___________________________________) Complaint, Request for Investigation, Injunction, and Other Relief Submitted by The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) I. Introduction 1. This complaint concerns “Store Sales Measurement,” a consumer profiling technique pursued by the world’s largest Internet company to track consumers who make offline purchases. Google has collected billions of credit card transactions, containing personal customer information, from credit card companies, data brokers, and others and has linked those records with the activities of Internet users, including product searches and location searches. This data reveals sensitive information about consumer purchases, health, and private lives. According to Google, it can track about 70% of credit and debit card transactions in the United States. 2. Google claims that it can preserve consumer privacy while correlating advertising impressions with store purchases, but Google refuses to reveal—or allow independent testing of— the technique that would make this possible. The privacy of millions of consumers thus depends on a secret, proprietary algorithm. And although Google claims that consumers can opt out of being tracked, the process is burdensome, opaque, and misleading. 3. Google’s reliance on a secret, proprietary algorithm for assurances of consumer privacy, Google’s collection of massive numbers of credit card records through unidentified “third-party partnerships,” and Google’s use of an opaque and misleading “opt-out” mechanism are unfair and deceptive trade practices subject to investigation and injunction by the FTC. II. Parties 4. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (“EPIC”) is a public interest research center located in Washington, D.C.

    Evaluating attribution models on predictive accuracy, interpretability, and robustness Joep van der Plas SNR: 1259666 ANR: 284239 Supporting Company: GfK 02-07-2019 Master Thesis Data Science: Business and Governance Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences Tilburg University Master Thesis Supervisors: Martijn van Otterlo, Ph.D. Tilburg University Grzegorz Chrupala, Ph.D. Co-reader Tilburg University Peter van Eck, Ph.D. GfK Preface In front of you lies the Master thesis “Evaluating attribution models on predictive accuracy, interpretability, and robustness”. It is written to earn the MSc degree in Data Science: Business and Governance at Tilburg University. I was engaged in researching and writing this thesis from January 2018 to July 2018. The thesis is executed in collaboration with GfK, with the aim to evaluate attribution models that are often used in practice to capture the true conversion attribution. Special thanks to Martijn van Otterlo, my supervisor on behalf of Tilburg University, for providing me with great feedback and teaching me how a Hidden Markov model works. The initial proposal was to construct a Hidden Markov model. An explanation about how to build a hidden Markov model based on the notion of a conversion funnel and why this idea is not feasible can be found in the Initial Idea section in the Appendix. In addition, I would like to thank GfK, for making the required data accessible to address the research question, and, in particular, Peter van Eck for the highly helpful weekly meetings. Last but not least, I would like to thank my friends, parents, and girlfriend for their support during this process.
