Apr 19, 2023
Written by CJ

Media placements are an invaluable tool for both advertisers and publishers.

With a multitude of publisher models and placements to choose from, there’s something for every advertiser looking to increase exposure. Strategic media buys are often what lead a brand to achieve maximum ROI, so it’s no surprise that placements have seen a 26% YOY spike in implementation.

With partnership placements continuing to increase, we couldn’t be more excited to introduce the ultimate media management tool for advertisers—now available in the CJ platform! Campaigns is the first solution in the industry that allows brands to effortlessly forecast, track, and manage all of their media campaigns in one place.

Campaigns offers a birdseye view that enables better regulation of your media across all publisher verticals and placement types.
  • Placement Projections: Campaigns is the only solution in the industry that offers accurate forecasts so that you can make informed decisions on where to invest your media dollars. Explore projected revenue, incremental lift, ROAS, and several other significant performance indicators to save you time on media planning.
  • Historical Data Records: Concerned about safekeeping historical media data that’s been housed elsewhere? Your historical placements can and should be migrated to Campaigns! The more historical placement records you have uploaded, the more accurate your projections will be.
  • ✨FUTURE✨ Network Benchmarking: As adoption of Campaigns becomes more prevalent among CJ advertisers, our Data Science Team will be integrating network-wide benchmarks within the platform. This will help give teams a better understanding of how placement types perform within certain verticals, giving them a competitive advantage when booking media.


How Performance KPIs Work in Campaigns

Curious about how projections work in Campaigns? Let's get into it!

  • The tool offers performance projections based on sales revenue.
  • Projections utilize % publisher commission rates and a single commission rate. Programs offering a flat fee commission rate or using Situational Commissioning are advised to provide an estimate based on the effective commission rate in Insights.
  • Actual performance KPIs go beyond revenue and spend, encompassing clicks, number of actions (sales + leads), and conversion rate.
