Global digital marketing technology leader extends track record of being
first to market with meaningful innovations
Kenshoo [http://www.kenshoo.com ], a global leader in digital marketing technology,
today unveiled Kenshoo SmartPath[TM], a new product that is the first form of algorithmic
conversion attribution designed from the ground up to improve digital marketing bid
optimisation. Kenshoo SmartPath applies sophisticated mathematical modelling to

their budgets. The product launch represents the latest in a long line of innovations

"Successfully optimising for a consumer's true path-to-conversion is one of the holy
grails sought after in online marketing. As such, it's critical to apply the best
investment strategy across all digital marketing channels to achieve optimal performance.
That cannot be done without the right attribution methodology," said Gordon Magee,
internet marketing and media manager at Drs. Foster and Smith
[http://www.drsfostersmith.com ]. "Kenshoo SmartPath dynamically looks at each click and
conversion across multiple channels and determines their true business impact. As a
result, we've been able to meet and exceed our return on investment goals."
Through a patent-pending methodology, Kenshoo SmartPath creates a unique model of
value allocation for each interaction in any given conversion path and dynamically adapts
over time based on customer data, market changes, and media mix effectiveness. This
provides marketers with an understanding of the actual impact of all interactions and
delivers unprecedented accuracy in value-based digital media optimisation. Kenshoo
SmartPath considers many different factors to measure the contribution of each interaction
to a conversion, including causality, synergy, and value of customer loyalty. Through its
integration with Kenshoo Portfolio Optimizer (KPO), Kenshoo SmartPath activates more
informed media forecasting and bidding.
"For too long, marketers have been forced to pick a static, pre-built attribution
model that applies credit to interactions and directs investment strategies, but there is
no one-size-fits-all solution," said Moti Meir, senior director and head of research at
Kenshoo. "With Kenshoo SmartPath, marketers can leverage dynamically-calibrated
attribution that is tailor-made from their data to reward each interaction for its true
contribution and inform automated bidding accordingly. We're proud to put this
game-changing solution in the hands of our clients."

continues to provide the most advanced solutions available to advertisers, and was
recently named "the only leader" in a bid management software evaluation

investment. These are the types of problems Kenshoo loves to solve."
