TV Attribution is the process of attributing some usage data back to offline media schedules. Its goal is to calculate a metric that reflects the benefit of television and generate a return on investment. Cost-per-visitor analysis is typically used by clients, just like in digital marketing, to measure their campaigns' success. The objective then becomes reducing cost-per-benefit for users who tend to behave similarly once they are on your website.

Our data proves that the majority of a broadcast's impact occurs within seconds and minutes of its airing. In terms of campaign optimization, it is not necessary to consider the longer-term drag effect of media as all types are impacted relatively similarly; even an extra 5% lifts over 7 days does not change our recommendations.

Radio Attribution is the data science process whereby usage data is assigned to offline media schedules. This allows for the calculation of a metric that reflects the benefit of radio and enables the generation of a return on investment. As people tend to behave similarly once on your website, the aim is to decrease cost-per-benefit. Similarly to digital marketing, most clients measure their campaigns in terms of cost-per-visitor or cost-per-transaction.

Radio and television are both broadcast mediums as well as via satellite, though television offers additional mediums such as cable and live streaming platforms like youtube.tv. Despite utilizing different media mediums, both use the same source of response data: Google Analytics. In terms of performance, radio campaigns tend to be relatively stable or increase over time while television campaigns typically produce an initial spike before gradually dropping off. Despite their differences in performance dynamics, both are able to get the majority of their impact within seconds and minutes of airing, thus making attribution possible for both broadcasts.
