ABOUT THIS USER MANUAL
From version 2.0 we will update the manual whenever we release a new WebKarma
feature sheet.
Please consider the environment before printing this manual. An electronic
version has the benefit of being much easier to search and navigate than a
paper version, and due to the continual development of our software, this
manual is updated on a regular basis.
This manual is provided with bookmarks corresponding to the table of contents.
Open the side panel in your PDF viewer and use Bookmarks to quickly navigate
the document. You can also use the `Find’ feature in your PDF viewer to search
for specific terms.
If you would like to receive feature sheets highlighting new developments in
Sponsorship please email
support@grouptechedge.com to be added to
the mailing list. We also welcome your comments or suggestions.
Thanks,
TechEdge Support team
Purpose of …
WebKarma is designed to estimate the combined reach of Television and Digital campaigns. The model uses the official Television Audience Measurement (TAM) data in a given country and estimates a reach figure for the TV campaign using TechEdge’s Karma model. This is a tried and trusted model that produces reliable reach estimates for future campaigns. In addition to this, a Digital campaign is modeled using empiric cover guides from an official digital measurement survey. The combined reach of the campaign is computed by simulating digital exposures for the actual panel members of the TAM survey using the sample from the Karma model.
Setup
2.1 Algorithm Settings
In the first tab in Settings you can set the maximum number of exposures per
viewer for the web campaign, and the number of iterations that WebKarma runs
before displaying the results. When done, tick on Save as System Default’ if you want WebKarma to remember the settings, and then clickOK’.
2.2 Demographics
Before using WebKarma for the first time you will need to create a demographic
profile. This profile defines the probability for a panel member to be exposed
to the web campaign. You can choose any demography from the TAM survey, but
preferably you should pick Internet-related demography if available (e.g. How often do you use the internet). In order to create a demographic profile click on [Setup], then click on the [Profiles…] button on theDemographics’ tab and click the `Create Profile…]
button:
In the Create Profile window you need to pick the reporting area from the
dropdown menu, and then choose the demography you want to use for the selected
area. You can also use the [Find…] button and search for demography. When you
have picked the demography you want to use, you can enter the probabilities
for each value in the demography.
WebKarma User manual
In the example above the selected demography is Uses the Internet’, and the probability is entered as the amount of days per year a respondent has used it (Daily or almost daily’ equals 365). When you are done entering the
probabilities press [Save Profile] and then [Pick]. You can create multiple
demographic profiles and switch between them in the Profile drop-down menu in
the main window.
Before pressing OK in the settings window you choose which Area and demography
you want to use as a System Default.
2.3 Other
In the `Other’ setup tab you can enable/disable the index and CPP/CPM
calculation on the main page. You can also set the Exposure type to either
TRP/TVR or Impressions (100 TRP equals the universe size of the selected
target audience).
Main Page
3.1 Setup
In the campaign setup section, you define the parameters for your TV campaign
and choose which demographic profile you want to use for the Web campaign.
If you are running an installation with multiple areas, you can press the
[Area] button and select the relevant reporting area for your campaign. You
can only select one area – WebKarma will not work properly if you select
multiple areas.
Select the relevant channels, date period, and primary target audience. You
can also select a specific universe if desired (the default is National’). Max exposures/viewer’ display the maximum number of times a respondent can be
exposed to the campaign on the web. The number of iterations WebKarma runs is
also displayed. Both of these numbers can be changed in settings (please see
page 6).
In the `Profile’ dropdown menu you can choose which demographic you want to
use when extracting panel members from the TAM survey (please see page 7 for
further details).
3.2 Campaign Definition
In the Campaign Definition window, you input the number of TRPs and the
percentage split between the TV channels, dayparts, and Websites. If you press
the [Add] button you can choose to add additional scenarios and/or Web
campaigns. Adding additional Web campaigns is useful in cases where you are
using multiple different websites for the Web campaign. 3.3 Creating Website
profiles
Before running your first scenario you need to create a cover guide for the
website(s) you intend to use. In Web Campaign #1, press [Custom Profile…] and
then chose [Create Profile].
In the Create Profile window, you can type start TRP, end TRP, and TRP interval. After you press [Update] the matrix will automatically be updated with the relevant TRP levels. You can then fill in the corresponding reach for each TRP level from your cover guide. When you are done press [Save Profile] and enter a title that indicates which website(s) this profile is used for (e.g. Youtube or Facebook).
You can create as many profiles as you like. If there is a profile you use more frequently than others you can save it as default. When you have finished creating the Website profile(s), press [Pick].
If you are using more than one website for your campaign, you can press the [Add] button in the Campaign Definition window and add an additional Web campaign. After adding the campaign press [Custom Profile] in Web Campaign #2 and select the profile for this campaign. In the following example, we picked Youtube for the first campaign and then Facebook for campaign #2: The graph below the Campaign Definition window will display the relationship between TRP level and reach for all the selected Web campaign profiles.
3.4 Index calculation
The index calculator can be used in cases where you are buying a different
target on the Web than the primary target audience selected in Setup. In these
cases you can choose the target audience you are using for the Web campaign,
and then calculate the index between the 2 targets. The index will give you a
hint about how many extra or fewer TRP you need to buy in order to get the
amount of TRP you need in the primary target audience.
In the example shown below the primary target audience is people 15-44, but we
are buying people 12+ on the Web. The index between the 2 targets is 136.48,
which means you would have to buy 136.48 TRPs in people 12+ in order to get
100 TRP in people 15-44. The index is based on TV consumption and is only
intended as a guideline. 3.5 CPP / CPM Conversion
The CPP/ CPM (Cost per point/Cost per thousand) converter is a simple cost
converter. Before it can be used you need to select a target audience and a
period of time. It needs these variables in order to calculate the universe
size of the target audience. When it displays the universe size you can input
the price in either CPP or CPM and WebKarma will then calculate the other.
Results
After running the query you will be presented with a cover curve chart showing the reach build for each included scenario, together with a table of key data for each campaign (TRPs, reach and frequency/OTS):
Click on the [Cover Guide] button in the bottom left corner to generate cover guide tables. From here you can click on [Layout] to change the ratings interval, maximum ratings and frequency levels:
