The Fog of War in Digital Media
If you're a marketing or procurement leader, you know the feeling. You command a multi-million-dollar digital media budget, yet you're navigating a "fog of war." Drowning in endless dashboards, siloed data from a dozen platforms, and a mountain of metrics, you still can't answer the one question that truly matters: "Are we winning?"
The undeniable truth is that all this data often makes it harder, not easier, to see what's working. But what if you could cut through the noise with a single, definitive metric that shows you exactly where you stand?
Why a Single Score Matters
In a world of overwhelming complexity, a single, simple score is often the most powerful tool. Think of a FICO score for your credit or a letter grade on a report card. These numbers don't just present data; they synthesize thousands of data points into one actionable insight: a reliable shorthand that helps us evaluate, compare, and make decisions with confidence.
A media spend benchmark achieves the same clarity for your digital advertising. It provides an objective, unbiased score that serves as a single source of truth for your entire team. It doesn't just show you your data; it provides the crucial context needed to understand it. With just one powerful metric, you can align marketing and procurement, compare performance across every channel, and make confident decisions in minutes, not weeks.
How Digital Control™ Creates the Benchmark
So, how is a single, comprehensive score like this possible? The answer lies in AI-enabled technology that moves far beyond traditional dashboards. Real answers with superhuman efficiency.
Digital Control™ securely integrates with your biddable media platforms (programmatic, search, and social) to gather all campaign activity. Our AI then analyzes that data, comparing your performance against a massive, proprietary database of anonymized media spend from brands just like yours. This continuous analysis removes subjectivity from your reporting, delivering an independent benchmark score that reflects your team's true performance against the market.
It's not about providing more data; it's about providing the right data. Quality over quantity.
From Insight to Action: Using Your Score
Receiving your benchmark score isn't a final grade; it’s the starting line. The real value is unlocked in what you do next.
- If your score is low, it’s a clear signal to reduce risk. It pinpoints inefficiencies and wasted spend, allowing you to reallocate those funds for a much stronger return.
- If your score is high, it gives you the data-backed confidence to accelerate your results. You can double down on what’s working, justify budget increases to leadership, and pull ahead of the competition.
Ultimately, Digital Control™ gives you knowledge, and that knowledge is power. It fundamentally changes your conversations, shifting them from "What happened?" to "What's our next move?"
The better you measure, the better you learn, and the better you perform.
