With personalised experiences being the most lucrative and effective way to drive revenue increases, the need for leveraging 1st party data is increasingly prevalent, and a major focus for Content Ignite and the Fusion platform. Using ID solutions to identify and track User activity to improve targeting and maximise performance, Content Ignite’s Fusion platform has expanded its ID Solutions features even further; introducing additional providers like The Trade Desk EUID and UID2, Audigient, ID5, to its comprehensive stack, with even more in the coming weeks and months. This expansion will provide publishers with even more tools to enhance their monetisation strategies and ad targeting precision with total flexibility. Once set up, new ID providers can be added with just a few clicks in the Fusion Platform and zero changes on site!

Overview

This case study demonstrates the successful integration of LiveRamp identity resolution with Google Publisher Advertiser Identity Reconciliation (PAIR) through Content Ignite's Fusion platform, resulting in a 4% revenue uplift for a leading website publisher in our network. This initiative leveraged LiveRamp’s sophisticated identity solutions and Google PAIR’s capabilities within Fusion, to optimise ad targeting and improve monetisation strategies.

Challenge

The publisher struggled to maximise ad revenue due to challenges in identifying users across devices and platforms. This resulted in inefficient ad targeting and reduced returns on advertising spend. A robust solution was therefore required to unify user identities and enhance ad targeting precision to boost their advertising revenue. Actually being able to track the uplift is also very difficult for most publishers, so a requirement was to be able to prove if the test was a success.

Solution

The publisher utilised Content Ignite's Fusion platform to integrate LiveRamp’s identity resolution technology with Google PAIR. This powerful combination facilitated:

  • Enhanced Identity Matching: By activating LiveRamp’s identity graphs within Fusion, the publisher could recognise and match audiences more accurately across multiple devices.
  • Optimised Ad Targeting: Improved identity resolution enabled Google PAIR to target ads more precisely by using consolidated user profiles, leading to enhanced campaign performance.
  • Experimentation and Analysis: Fusion allowed the publisher to experiment with and analyse the impact of various ID solutions on ad performance and revenue uplift, showcasing the tangible benefits of advanced identity solutions.

Implementation

The integration process involved several key stages:

  1. Data Onboarding: The publisher activated their first-party data to LiveRamp via the Fusion publisher tag, which anonymised and matched these data points with its extensive identity graph.
  2. Integration with Google PAIR: The anonymised IDs were made available to Google PAIR through Fusion, enabling seamless reconciliation with advertisers’ data.
  3. Campaign Execution: Ad campaigns utilising this integrated approach were launched, focusing on previously hard-to-reach targeted audience segments.

Results

Within three months of implementation, the publisher noted significant enhancements:

  • 4% Increase in Revenue: A measurable 4% increase in total advertising revenue, attributed directly to the enhanced targeting capabilities provided by the Fusion platform. We would anticipate over time this would rise to between 6 - 10% increase.
  • Improved Ad Efficiency: A reduction in ad wastage due to more accurate targeting of intended audiences.
  • Higher Engagement Rates: The relevance of ads improved, leading to higher engagement rates and better overall performance.

Conclusion

The strategic use of LiveRamp and Google PAIR through Content Ignite's Fusion platform not only provided a technological edge but also directly contributed to bottom-line results. This case study demonstrates how innovative ad technology can effectively address modern challenges and maximise revenue.
