MNO Maximizes Campaign Performance for Advertisers using Guavus-IQ Analytics
The marketing team needed to build rich customer profiles in order to present offers and ads that were relevant to their subscribers.
In order to do this, they needed to match individual preferences and browsing behaviors with subscriber IDs to build rich customer profiles. Additionally, they needed to correctly categorize website URLs viewed with accuracy levels of 80% or greater. They were unable to do this with the software tools they had in place.
The Solution: Service-IQ Marketing Analytics categorizes website content per subscriber with 94% accuracy!
Service-IQ Marketing Analytics provides content categorization on a per subscriber basis that can be used to create personalized and relevant offers. Service-IQ Marketing Analytics uses advanced machine learning algorithms to automatically categorize web pages visited to characterize subscribers’ interests. The ability to process natural language rather than searching for particular words, allows the machine to “read through” the entire web page to discover what the page is truly about and classify it accordingly. Because the machine interprets the page content semantically, not just syntactically word by word, it is able to achieve over 94% accuracy in the categorization!
Service-IQ Marketing Analytics also manages the matching of individual preferences and browsing behaviors with subscriber IDs to build rich customer profiles. This helps marketers make the correct assumptions about the content that their audiences like.
Automated Website and URL Categorization
Tracking Ad-ID
Ad-ID is an industry standard for identifying advertising assets (digital, broadcast and print) across all media platforms. The Ad-ID system generates a unique identifying code for individual advertising assets to improve the workflow between the advertisers and distributors.
To provide more accurate feedback to advertisers, this service provider needs to track the Ad-ID of digital assets throughout their network. Guavus provides not only the ability to track the Ad-ID, but also associate it to an individual’s international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI). This helps keep the identity of the user private, while providing the advertising agencies and businesses the information they need. The provider does not share IMSI information and individual subscriber details, but rather the Ad-ID.
Website categorization beyond standard IAB
Using advanced machine learning algorithms, Service-IQ Marketing Analytics performs automated, in depth “out-of-the-box” categorization of websites visited and apps used, lending a richness and granularity that far exceeds traditional Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) categorization in the understanding of customers’ behaviors. If the server name identification (SNI) is present, Service-IQ Marketing Analytics can use it to identify even https content. In addition, Service-IQ Marketing Analytics has an advanced categorization process, establishing GDS/ODS (Global Data Services/Operator Data Services) rules to track any https traffic of interest.
Deployment at scale
Over 32 billion records are processed in 5-minute batches daily! Service-IQ Marketing Analytics is deployed in virtual environments at the service provider’s data centers and directly integrates with their data lake. The data lake then feeds a campaign management system to offer customers the appropriate advertisements and content. Guavus is the first to pioneer this type of solution, in near real-time, at such a massive level, with immense success.
