PASADENA, Calif., November 20, 2003 -- Overture Performance Marketing, a division of Overture Services, Inc., today announced the launch of Marketing Console, an online integrated marketing intelligence product that enables advertisers to easily measure the performance of their marketing campaigns across all online channels.
The launch of Marketing Console furthers Overture`s ongoing effort to extend value to advertisers through product innovation. Marketing Console also builds on Overture`s leadership in online marketing by providing advertisers the ability to easily:
* Measure Web-wide campaign effectiveness by tracking which campaigns, channels, and creative are generating the most cost-effective leads and conversions on their Web sites;
* Monitor the performance of all of their online advertising relative to standard marketing metrics, including Cost Per Acquisition (CPA), revenue generation and Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS);
* Integrate campaign cost data;
* Determine the length of their sales cycle and monitor how effectively their sites convert visitors into sales; and
* Determine how many new and repeat leads/shoppers access and convert on their sites.
"Our goal is to help advertisers and agencies focus on the right metrics to make more effective marketing decisions,กจ said Steven Mitgang, senior vice president and general manager of Overture Performance Marketing. "Marketing Console provides advertisers with an easy-to-use dashboard to track all of their online marketing spend in a comprehensive manner."
Marketing Console is designed to address challenges expressed by many advertisers, including the growing complexity of online marketing, poor visibility into performance of various marketing tactics, unmeasured value from campaign investment and lost opportunities for growth.
The product offers advertisers a straightforward set of reports covering all of their online tactics, including an overall campaign summary and additional reports measuring campaign performance, visitor search behavior and site traffic quality. This enables advertisers to save time, maximize their advertising dollars, improve conversion rates and ultimately assess the lifetime value of their customers.
Marketing Console will soon be available in the U.S. directly through Overture Performance Marketing and through select strategic Overture partners.
