2. Module I: Integrations

2.1 Description

This module allows the Client to configure which digital advertising services they would like to use with Myntelligence. Integrations include: platforms, publishers, ad networks and ad servers. When a service is integrated, it will be made available within the Campaign Builder for planning, campaign configuration and reporting.

These services are external to Myntelligence, are offered by other providers and require separate accounts. However, the advertising campaigns being run through these separate accounts can be maintained by integrating with Myntelligence.

2.2 Key Features

There are two types of integrations, each coming with its own set of features:

Native: These are API-enabled and allow the Client to fully manage campaigns via Myntelligence. If the Client owns multiple accounts on the same external service, they can all be integrated and campaigns can be run for each account.

Virtual: These do not connect via API and can only be used for planning and reporting. Ads can be managed for these platforms via the Trafficking and Ad Operations module, which connects Myntelligence to the platform via the ad server.

2.3 Workflow

The home screen displays all existing integrations, organized by channels. This screen also highlights those integrations that have already been activated within the Client account.

By selecting a channel, the Client can click on an “Add Integration” button, to browse through desired channels, view a list of available services and add what they need.

Once a service is selected, the Client will be shown a brief description of the platform, publisher, ad network or ad server in question, along with the option to connect to an account that they already own. Next, the Client sees the details they need to provide in order to activate that service within the Myntelligence Platform.

When an integration has been configured, the selected service will be made available within the Campaign Builder, which includes the Media Plan, Campaign Settings, Trafficking and Insights modules. The newly integrated service will also be picked up by the Recommendation Engine.

2.4 List of Native Integrations

The following integrations are currently enabled via API:

1. Display:
- Google DV360
2. Search:
- Google Ads
3. Social:
- Facebook
4. Video
-
DisMyVideo (formerly TheOutplay)
5. Ad Server:
- Adform
- Campaign Manager (Google)

3. Module II: Campaign Builder

3.1 Description

This module allows the Client to design and set up the entire campaign execution flow, across channels. This is also where the Client can search for and view ongoing, past and upcoming campaigns that have been configured within the Myntelligence Platform.

3.2 Key Features

The module includes four key components:

  • The Brief, where campaign information, media mix, goals and related files may be stored.
  • The Media Plan, where the campaign can be planned across channels and advertising services. This includes, for example, budget allocation, specific metrics to target, flight dates, etc. Here is where our AI engine can be used to predict budget allocations across the Media Plan.
  • The Campaign Settings Area, which is accessible per integrated service, from within the Media Plan. This allows the Client to configure campaigns specifically for particular external platforms, while including them within the overall Myntelligence campaign. Each external platform comes with its own settings and granularity, allowing the Client to set up everything from the main campaign level to the ad level.

All of these areas can be viewed and accessed from within the “My Campaign” section, where Myntelligence also displays key campaign details to view at a glance.

3.3 Workflow

To create a new campaign, the Client goes through the following workflow:

1. First, the Brief screen is completed. This area provides options to configure the primary campaign information, such as name, flight dates, and currency budget. A campaign description can be added and the Client can choose the overall campaign objective. Primary KPI goals can be configured and additional files can be uploaded, to keep track of campaign related information. The information entered within the Brief will be maintained across the campaign configuration process and displayed at the top of the screen. This makes it easy to keep track of dates, budget allocation and spending.

2. Moreover, the Media Mix helps manage the marketing funnel, as well as channel-specific metrics and budgets.

3. The Media Plan, accessible under the Planning tab, works based on an intuitive drag and drop interface. This allows the Client to first select the desired channel (Current options are: Search, Social, Display and Video), then select the external platform to work with. Next, the campaign row can be configured by selecting flight dates and allocating a budget, as well as other desired parameters. Each channel and external platform row will pick up and display overall values for flight dates, according to campaign row dates. Budgets and custom goals and parameters can be configured at all levels.

4. The Media Plan includes Predictive Planning, which is an automated feature that brings Artificial Intelligence into the media planning process. This feature provides the Client with optimal budgets to spend, in order to achieve desired results for a particular metric. All they have to do is enter the overall campaign budget and Myntelligence will automatically allocate it to the configured channels and platforms. This eliminates guesswork and saves time, because there is no more need to allocate manually.

5. At the campaign row level, the Client can configure the Campaign Settings that are specific to the chosen external platform. If there are multiple accounts integrated for the same natively integrated platform (with API), the campaign can be connected to the desired account. The settings can include: campaign name, objective (awareness or performance), total budget or campaign flight dates. The Client specifies the overall goals the campaign should be measured against (E.g. Clicks, CTR, CPV, eCPM, CPL, Likes, Conversion Rate, Completed Views, etc.)

- Each natively integrated external platform will come with its own granular settings, including, for example: line items for DSPs, AdSets for Facebook, etc. These lower levels of configuration come with targeting, budgeting, bidding, general strategy and ad creation options,

For virtual platforms, Clients can configure some basic campaign settings and create ad placements which can then be trafficked to an ad server, via the dedicated Trafficking module.

4. Module III: Trafficking and Ad Operations

4.1 Description

The Trafficking Module  is where Clients can connect Myntelligence to an ad server account and manage cross platform ads in one place, regardless of whether we integrate natively with a specific platform or not. The ad servers we currently integrate with are: Campaign Manager and AdForm.

4.2 Key Features

This module allows Clients to integrate one or more ad server accounts, then use a common campaign taxonomy to manage ads across platforms. The campaigns and platforms can be selected in order to view and manage ad placements, in accordance with the Media Plan. For the DV360 platform, Clients can also upload and manage ad creatives, right within Myntelligence. In addition, all platforms allow the configuration of conversion tags/floodlight activities, which can then become Campaign Goals and be reported on as  metrics.

4.3 Workflow

When first using the Trafficking module, the Client needs to select the ad server account they want to use. Next, the screen will display the channels and platforms that are configured within the campaign’s Media Plan. For each of them, the Campaign can be selected, followed by the Site and Value. This will then reveal existing Ad Placements, which the Client can manage within the Trafficking module. Ad Placements will correspond to the data within the Media Plan and the ad server, which are in sync if the platform is natively integrated. For virtual platforms, the Ad Placement is configured within the Media Plan and retrieved within the Trafficking module. This way it is possible to traffic ads for non-integrated platforms, via the ad server.

5. Module IV: Recommendation Engine

5.1 Description

The Recommendation Engine provides Clients with suggestions about how to adjust their campaign budgets and settings for the best performance. This feature is available within the Notifications area of Myntelligence.

There are two types of recommendations:

1. For Budgets: Our algorithm evaluates several platform formats and data structures, measures saturation, correlates media cost and selected targets and applies business and technical constraints in order to predict the optimum budgets for maximum campaign performance.

2. For Settings: Our algorithm works with a decision tree, based on data collected from the decisions of media specialists.

5.2 Key features

The Recommendation Engine is a functionality that uses Artificial Intelligence in order to recommend budget and settings adjustments at all levels: Channel, Platform, Campaign and Line Item.

Each recommendation comes with the following features:
1. A notification header, which mentions: the Campaign title. the type of notification, the time when it was received, and the Brief budget (if the recommendation refers to budget adjustments).
2. The recommendation itself: All recommendations can be collapsed and expanded, according to the campaign rows, in order to make adjustments at all levels.
3. The possibility to accept or reject the recommendation.

5.3 Workflow

Each recommendation can be accepted or rejected.

  • If accepted, budget recommendations are applied automatically to the scenario in question.
  • Accepted settings recommendations need to be added manually.
  • When rejecting any type of recommendation, we encourage Clients to leave feedback, so that we can improve the system.

6. Module V: Campaign Insights

6.1 Description

This module provides advanced reports that enable the Client to monitor the performance of each campaign, both overall and by channel.

6.2 Key features

The key features of this module include overall campaign reports as well as channel-specific reports. For native integrations, this module facilitates access to up-to-date metrics retrieved from the integrated platforms. For virtual integrations, reports are available on metrics entered within the Media Plan or coming from an ad server, via the Trafficking module..

Reports can currently be retrieved for individual Myntelligence Campaigns, across the channels these include.

6.3 Workflow

The home screen provides an overall campaign report which includes progress related metrics (goals, days completed, budget spent, etc.); a breakdown table that lists key metrics for all campaign channels and platforms, as well as a channel overview.

This module also allows the Client to drill-down into detailed metrics for each channel. Using the top navigation, the Client can select a channel to view metrics for, within a particular campaign.

6.4 Available Reports
