Results

Data-rich segments using identity outperformed third-party cookies in every KPI measured.

This right blend of data and tech, allowed us to achieve scalable addressability and proven opportunities to reach Dr. Martens’ intended audiences over non-cookie-friendly environments.

Viewability

The premium content of Digo’s owned and operated sites resulted in strong viewability (+60%) in all scenarios. A deeper dive revealed that the cookieless segments delivered 107% more viewable impressions than the third-party cookie ones.

Click-Through Rate (CTR)

Engagement with segments delivered via Panorama ID soared 9.43X above the third-party cookie scenario. The Bad Bunnies and J.Lo’s in particular had much higher CTR, good news for the brand’s outreach to new consumers.

Effective Cost Per Click (eCPC)

The positive CTR results also impacted the efficiency of the cost per click. In these scenarios, all the testing shows CPCs lower than $1. Performance was further driven by alignment of the creative and messaging. But the Panorama ID driven campaigns delivered 1/10th of the cost of the server-to-server campaigns.
