Fifty-eight percent of marketers believe brand awareness is the most important metric to track in 2023, according to research from LiveRamp. And for good reason. Strong brand awareness is the gateway to increased conversions and more sales opportunities. In fact, according to the Sprout Social Index, 89 percent of consumers buy from a brand they already follow on social media.
Despite this, the number one thing that stops marketers, well… marketing, is identifying and reaching a target audience. Doing so requires careful timing, tailored messaging, and high-quality content that helps your brand stand out against the competition. And even when you get this right, it can be tricky to track and report on the success or failure of your efforts.
Enter Pelago Solus, our latest CPM offering that helps you understand the intent of your audience so you can better target your content offerings and improve your conversion rate.
Here’s a sneak peek into our new CPM model.
CPM stands for "Cost Per Mille" (or "Cost Per Thousand"). This metric helps marketers measure the cost of making 1,000 impressions with a particular content campaign.
The CPM model is typically used as a benchmark for brand awareness. It captures your brand’s reach before someone clicks through to view content. This helps you assess the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of your awareness campaigns, like social media ads or top-of-funnel content, without hinging your campaign’s success on a metric like cost per click (CPC).
Here’s the formula for measuring CPM:
CPM = (Total Cost of Advertising ÷ Total Impressions) x 1,000
For example, if your CPM were £100, it would cost you this much to receive 1,000 views of your campaign.
The CPM model can help you calculate how much you need to spend on your campaigns to achieve the desired level of exposure. It also lets you compare the cost of advertising and content syndication programs across different platforms and media channels, giving you insight into campaign efficiency.
Pelago Solus is Intentify Demand’s unique CPM offering. Rooted in state-of-the-art machine learning and natural language processing technologies, our platform understands the intent behind prospect accounts. This means you can surface the right content to the right audience at the right time.
