"Clients must move beyond click-through rate as a metric in online ads" says Steve Doyle,
InSkin Media’s Chief Commercial Officer, Steve Doyle, says marketers need to move beyond click-through rates as a measure of effectiveness in online advertising. Steve Doyle, who was in Australia last week to promote InSkin’s new partnership with analytics firm, Moat, also argued the Australian industry as a whole needs work together on agreed standards of viewability.
“Click-through is a useful indicator but at the end of the day if you are just looking at the number of clicks you are not looking at the depth of engagement or quality of the interaction. It’s a proxy for direct response mentality advertising, looking to have some sort of metric on a brand campaign. We want to move the dial and allow advertisers to better understand how to measure brand advertising online,” Steve Doyle, Chief Commercial Officer, InSkin Media
