Method of assessing the cost effectiveness of advertising
First Claim
1. Apparatus for assessing the cost effectiveness of an advertising campaign, the apparatus comprising:
- a) an input for receiving i) a first set of data from at least one first data source; and
ii) a second set of data from at least one second data source;
b) an output; and
c) a processor arranged to;
i) aggregate and analyse the first set of data using at least one metric in order to provide output data, each of said at least one metric assessing a different characteristic of the first set of data;
ii) calculate a quality score according to a first scoring algorithm applied to the output data;
iii) calculate a cost premium from the second set of data according to a second scoring algorithm; and
iv) transmit to the output a graphical and quantitative comparison of the cost premium and the quality score, the cost premium being relative to a cost benchmark and the quality score being relative to a quality benchmark.

Abstract
An apparatus for assessing the cost effectiveness of an advertising campaign includes an input for receiving a first set of data from at least one first data source and a second set of data from at least one second data source, an output, and a processor arranged to aggregate and analyse the first set of data using at least one metric in order to provide output data, each of the at least one metric assessing a different characteristic of the first set of data. The processor also calculates a quality score according to a first scoring algorithm applied to the output data; calculate a cost premium from the second set of data according to a second scoring algorithm; and transmits to the output a graphical and quantitative comparison of the cost premium and the quality score, the cost premium being relative to a cost benchmark and the quality score being relative to a quality benchmark.

3. Apparatus as claimed in claimed 1, wherein:
-
a) the input is arranged for receiving a fourth set of data, the fourth set of data concerning the at least one competitor advertising campaign for a duration of the advertising campaign having a campaign start date and a campaign end date, the fourth set of data comprising information concerning the same features as the second set of data; and
b) the second algorithm comprises a comparative function, the second comparative function comparing the second set of data with the fourth set of data.

13. A method for assessing the cost effectiveness of an advertising campaign, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a) receiving a first set of data from at least one first data source;
b) processing the first set of data to provide output data by aggregating and analysing the data by means of at least one metric, said at least one metric assessing a different characteristic of the first set of data;
c) processing the output data according to a first scoring algorithm to calculate a quality score;
d) receiving a second set of data from at least one second data source;
e) processing the second set of data according to a second scoring algorithm to calculate a cost premium; and
f) graphically outputting an image showing a quantitative comparison of the cost premium and the quality score, the cost premium being relative to a cost benchmark, and the quality score being relative to a quality benchmark. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
