What is a campaign?

To understand campaign management you must first understand what a campaign is. Campaign - A specific, defined series of activities used in marketing a new or changed product or service, or in using new marketing channels and methods. Like a promotion, the future estimated effects of a new marketing campaign must be included in demand and resource planning.

SEM
SEM is an acronym for Search Engine Marketing which is a process of marketing a site for improved search engine results, often including a combination of search engine optimization and paid advertising. Nocturnal Marketing understands search. We utilize paid placement, CPM banner placement, and organic placement to provide the most effective combination for your objectives. We create demographically targeted messaging, research and implement keywords, manage your spend, create landing pages to increase visibility to new customers, and provide detailed reporting on the success. Whether your initiative is branding based, ROI based, or event based, we have an effective campaign management solution for you.

The cost structure of an SEO project varies. Many variables affect search engine results. The task of optimizing a website is taken on an individual basis. We need to determine how complex the project will be before committing to it. Sometimes we find that a client is just burning money by trying to market on the web. Traditional SEO/SEM is not always the right answer. The truth is that it’s no different than trying to purchase eye height shelf space in A&P Food stores. That has a varied value depending on what you sell.

Analytics
In a recent CMO Council study, Measures + Metrics, nearly 90% of senior marketing executives said measuring marketing performance is a top priority, yet fewer than 20% of them have developed a meaningful, comprehensive metrics framework within their organizations. Consequently, 50% of CMOs are under a direct mandate to provide better metrics and measurement for the marketing department, according to IDC.

A WebTrends 2005 Web Marketing Confidence Report surveyed over 250 marketing professionals and learned that only 5% are currently “very confident” in the measurement of their results. In fact, 26% admitted to “flying blind”. Why? Because less than one out of four had a complete view of their performance metrics—including conversion, revenue, ROI—to gauge the success or failure of their marketing initiatives. The majority, a combined 52%, are still relying on clickthrough rates or have no campaign metrics at all. What are savvy marketers doing to bridge the gap? Major trends point to the Web.

No other medium is optimization as achievable as the Web. Testing is easier. Measurement is more comprehensive. And incremental improvements can be realized on a daily basis. Because of these advantages, companies are investing more in online marketing. In fact, according to a CMO Magazine survey, interactive marketing will achieve the largest increase in spend (71%) of any marketing area over the next 12 months. addition, the Internet Advertising Bureau and PricewaterhouseCoopers reports that online advertising spend is up 26% in the first half of 2005, and shows no signs of slowing down.
