This partnership showcases how Optable and The Globe and Mail are working together to enhance both advertising and overall revenue strategies:
— Optable and Globe Media Group create a secure environment for advertisers to connect with The Globe’s readers, enabling enhanced audience targeting.
— Additionally, they work together to identify opportunities for expanding The Globe’s readership, establish partnerships, and drive revenue growth.
These strategies were demonstrated in the recent VIA Rail campaign, where advanced data management and collaboration technology were used to boost VIA Rail’s advertising strategy. By utilizing a data clean room approach, the campaign was able to match and activate VIA Rail’s customer data with The Globe and Mail’s subscriber base.
Optable’s data clean room enabled advanced targeting by matching VIA Rail’s core travelers with active Globe readers from the past 60 days. The VIA Rail segments for the match included Lapsed Travelers, Mid-Week Travelers, and Last 3 Years Travelers. This approach allowed Globe Media Group to develop a bespoke audience strategy, optimizing inventory targeting and creating a lookalike model for more scalable targeting.
“Our collaboration with VIA Rail and Globe Media Group showcases the power of combining first-party data with advanced data matching technologies,” Vlad Stesin, CSO, Optable. “The enhanced targeting and performance metrics are a testament to the effectiveness of this approach.”
The campaign achieved significant improvements in key performance metrics:
— 3.4X Greater Reach: The segment, stemming from insights from matched customers, achieved a 3.4 times greater reach compared to the general travel segment.
— 2.5X More Cost-Effective: The cost per unique reach was 2.5 times more efficient.
— 1.5X More Efficient Viewable Impressions: The cost-per-viewable impression was 1.5 times more efficient.
— Competitive Cost Per Qualified Visit: The cost per qualified visit on VIA Rail’s website was competitive with long-optimized tactics and audiences, with engagement rates exceeding expectations.
“Optable’s technology has been invaluable in enhancing our data strategy. By working with them, we have been able to increase addressability of our audience data in a privacy-safe way.” said Kabil Rahaman, Head of Data Optimization, The Globe and Mail. “Their data clean room solution enabled us to securely collaborate with VIA Rail, providing unique insights and developing a highly targeted audience strategy that drove outstanding results.”
The technology-enhanced VIA Rail’s approach to digital advertising, demonstrating the potential of data clean rooms to improve collaboration between publishers and advertisers. By working directly with their advertising partners, Globe Media Group was able to share unique insights with VIA Rail, deepening their relationship and showcasing new possibilities for data-driven marketing within the travel industry.
“The Globe and Mail’s innovative approach, enabled by Optable, significantly boosted our campaign performance,” said Philippe Normand, Director, Business Development & Loyalty at VIA Rail. “By targeting our most valuable customer segments more effectively and efficiently, we saw remarkable improvements in reach, cost-efficiency, and overall engagement.”
