The Online Advertising Playbook and Digital Media Measurement & Pricing Summit I may be going to

Posted by Marshall on December 23, 2007 | Link It

Heard about The Online Advertising Playbook: Proven Strategies and Tested Tactics from the Advertising Research Foundation earlier this year at Search Engine Strategies and Ad-Tech NY.  I saw a copy in Barnes and Noble last night and decided to pick it up.

As a Web Analyst, I'm often asked on coming up with things to measure - and it looks like The Online Advertising Playbook has all the things, from an advertising standpoint, from a marketing standpoint, that you'd want to know about and measure - at least, the online advertising part.

Honestly, it looks like the Playbook is a condensation of what most of Ad-Tech and Search Engine Strategies has sessions on - I guess that's a good thing as I've gotten tired of both.  

 


Join our panelists! This is your one-stop-shop for the latest solutions in tracking, measuring, and pricing:

  • User Generated Content
  • Social Networking
  • Search Engine
  • In-Game Advertising
  • Mobile Marketing
  • Digital Out-of-Home
  • Streaming Media
  • Virtual World
  • Podcasting
  • Widgets

I may be going to this conference  in NYC next month (see above), though my work with the Board of Directors of the Web Analytics Association, but I'm not sure yet. 

I'm wondering how much of what's actually talked about here - is going to be similar to what's in the Playbook?   I also have to find out if I can go, as I'm starting a new job at Monster.com on the 7th of January.

If I do go, this is what I'd be most interested in - Most of it actually!:
