SYSTEM AND METHOD TO PERFORM EXPOSURE AND CONVERSION ANALYSIS
First Claim
1. A method to analyze conversion data related to an advertising campaign, wherein the advertising campaign comprises a target portion and a non-target portion, the method comprising:
- determining, at a household level, a number of target exposures of an advertisement from an advertising campaign, the target exposures occurring during a target portion of the campaign;
determining, at a household level, a number of non-target exposures of an advertisement from the advertising campaign, the non-target exposures occurring during a non-target portion of the campaign that is different from the target portion of the campaign;
obtaining, at a household level, purchase data related to the product or service associated with the advertisement;
generating, at a household level, conversion data by correlating the purchase data with the number of target exposures and the number of non-target exposures; and
calculating an effectiveness indicator of the advertisement for the target portion based on the number of target exposures, non-target exposures and the conversion data.

Abstract
A system and method to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. The effectiveness of a particular target portion of an advertising campaign (e.g., related to an advertisement or advertisements appearing on a specific network, time of the day, program, etc.) is determined relative to exposures to other portions of the advertising campaign. To facilitate the measurement, the system constructs an exposure interaction matrix, which allows isolation of the effectiveness of one group of advertisement exposures while controlling for exposures across other groups. For each cell of the matrix, the system computes an index. The index indicates how much the target advertisements influenced the conversion decision, relative to the entire campaign. A plurality of exposure interaction matrices may be determined for a plurality of target portions and compared to one another in order to determine a desired advertising schedule.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable media with instructions stored thereon that when executed, cause a processor to analyze conversion data related to an advertising campaign that comprises a target portion and a non-target portion, by:
-
determining, at a household level, a number of target exposures of an advertisement from an advertising campaign, the target exposures occurring during a target portion of the campaign; determining, at a household level, a number of non-target exposures of an advertisement from the advertising campaign, the non-target exposures occurring during a non-target portion of the campaign that is different from the target portion of the campaign; obtaining, at a household level, purchase data related to the product or service associated with the advertisement; generating, at a household level, conversion data by correlating the purchase data with the number of target exposures and the number of non-target exposures; and calculating an effectiveness indicator of the advertisement for the target portion based on the number of target exposures, non-target exposures and the conversion data. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computing system comprising:
-
a memory for storing a sequence of program instructions; a processor that is configured to execute the sequence of instructions for analyzing conversion data related to an advertising campaign that comprises a target portion and a non-target portion, by; receiving purchase data, viewing data and advertising campaign schedule data; processing the viewing data and advertising campaign schedule data to determine, at a household level, target exposures of an advertisement from an advertising campaign and non-target exposures of an advertisement from the advertising campaign, the target exposures occurring during a target portion of the campaign and the non-target exposures occurring during a non-target portion of the campaign that is different from the target portion of the campaign; and generating, at a household level, conversion data by correlating the purchase data with the target exposures and non-target exposures; and determining an effectiveness indicator of the advertisement for the target portion based at least in part on the target exposures, non-target exposures and the conversion data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method to analyze conversion data related to an advertising campaign, wherein the advertising campaign comprises a target portion and a non-target portion, the method comprising:
-
determining, at a household level, a number of target exposures of an advertisement from the advertising campaign, the target exposures occurring during a target portion of the campaign; determining, at a household level, a number of non-target exposures of an advertisement from the advertising campaign, the non-target exposures occurring during a non-target portion of the campaign that is different from the target portion of the campaign; determining for each household a corresponding cell in an exposure interaction matrix based on the number of target exposures and non-target exposures; determining how many households converted in each cell; and calculating an effectiveness indicator for each cell based on the number of households that converted in each cell. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
