That being the case, marketers and their agencies utilizing either or both of these channels need to quickly learn how they impact each other – and how this knowledge can be converted into optimization actions.

In this webcast, cross channel attribution management software provider Visual IQ will illustrate a number of common, but extremely impactful insights that their software typically uncovers within their clients’ digital marketing data. After each insight is discussed, digital media executives from leading agencies will explain how they would execute optimization tactics to capitalize on the insight, and elaborate its potential business impact. Some of the insights include:

• Display ad publishers/creatives that drive keyword searches/conversions
• Affinities between search and display advertising
• Display ad clicks vs. search clicks as indicators of “conversion intent”
• Display ad creative sequencing that can increase conversions
