TV can now complete the attribution puzzle


Once confined to brand and awareness metrics, the world of TV attribution has evolved to measure responses and effectiveness in the same way digital media has for years. Critically, the concept of quantifying offline media’s contribution to a business outcome, no matter where the consumer is in their purchase journey, has realigned the industry’s approach to assigning value across all channels.

For television, the availability of smarter data from devices such as set-top boxes and smart TVs, as well as the advanced application of that data by specialist companies, has shone a light on TV’s efficacy in pushing the consumer through the purchase funnel. Whether measuring brand metrics or transactional behavior, marketers can now employ reach and precision tactics through advanced TV to drive mass and personalized messaging and attribute value to those media investments.

This has led to more robust techniques to not only ensure that TV is getting its fair share of credit for a conversion, but also validate what we have known instinctively for years: TV drives results.

72andSunny loses Coors Banquet account to Mekanism


MDC Partners-owned 72andSunny has lost the Coors Banquet account to Mekanism. A MillerCoors spokeswoman confirmed the move today. 72andSunny still has the much-larger Coors Light account, according to the spokeswoman. But the Banquet loss is an ominous sign for 72andSunny because MillerCoors has traditionally kept the Coors family of brands at the same agency.

But it’s not all good news for Mekanism, either. The independent agency is on the losing end of another MillerCoors account shift with the brewer moving its Redd’s brand of flavored malt beverages to Omnicom’s Energy BBDO. The Chicago-based agency joined the MillerCoors roster in October when it picked up creative for Cape Line, a new low-calorie flavored malt beverage brand that MillerCoors announced in August. Omnicom’s DDB Chicago is the lead agency for Miller Lite.

MillerCoors shoveled $184 million in measured media into the Coors family of brands in 2017, according to the Ad Age Datacenter. Coors Light, the second-largest beer in the U.S., accounts for most of that spending. 72andSunny picked up all the Coors brands in late 2015 after MillerCoors cut WPP’s Cavalry of Chicago. But Coors Light has been stuck in a slump lately. Case sales volume fell 6.3 percent in the year-to-date period ending Nov. 24, according to Nielsen. Coors Banquet did not do much better, falling 6.2 percent.
