Electronic Arts: Leveling Up Data Across Screens https://ift.tt/2U7ONhM “There is literally a game for everyone,” said Colleen Nuffer, Global Media Planning and Activation Lead, Americas, Electronic Arts, in opening her keynote speech at Monday’s MediaPost TV and Video Insider Summit in Scottsdale, Ariz. EA’s latest game came out last Friday. “District 9” director Neill Blomkamp created a short film to tell the story behind “Anthem.” Rate T for Teen. Emotional response with over 3 million views on YouTube alone. “We need to take same mindset as we approach media,” she said, noting the connection between science and art. “We understand value of data. We cannot lose sight of the art that goes with the planning.” Data drives deeper player understanding. EA’s CMO decided to combine analytics and marketing teams. Player motivations: study around why people play. Are they part of team? Who is the game made for? Player behavior: who, how, what? What platforms are they playing on? How do they feel when they lose or win? She showed a passionate team player, “Dave.” He enjoys the team aspect, is a fan of BioWare, plays NBA Live. Enjoys comic books. Favorite team is the Warriors. “We start our media planning by understanding our players.” Art in planning: contextual relevance, leaned-in audience. in hour have team of search, social experts going through cross-channel training right now. Truly integrated. Showing “Anthem” in cinemas, aligning when “Captain Marvel” was coming out in order to engage “Dave.” Big NBA strategy, All-Star game. Validated through data-given insights. “For Dave, we assume he’s not into traditional TV. Mobile surpasses TV in time spent. Backing away from TV entirely? No, taking a second look at our TV investment to make sure it is the most impactful.” Hard time reaching human attention span. Line between gaming/entertainment is becoming blurred. Landscape shifts, look at scale, targeting. Shifting to data-driven, addressable or programmatic. Also looking at information for traditional TV. Maximizing impact. Finding times when consumers are truly engaged and receptive. Use our data learning to apply to channels that aren’t as data driven. In the end: 1. Utlize data to validate decisions; 2. Apply learning to traditional linear to maximize impact; 3. Test, test, test. Mobile Marketing via MediaPost.com: mobile https://ift.tt/2oB2PsH February 25, 2019 at 10:47AM
