Increased Visibility Through Facebook Multi-touch Attribution
Each consumer has an organic likelihood to purchase based on who they are — their attitudes, interests, and behaviors. Consumers are also influenced along their pathway to purchase based on where they are, what they are doing, and through more macro external factors (such as weather, pricing, and markets), all influencing their purchase decisions and brand perceptions. Multi-touch attribution provides marketers with the transparency and insight across these known and unknown factors by measuring influence across all channels. However, current multi touch attribution solutions are limited in their ability to track and optimize across some of the more opaque channels such as Facebook due to the lack of coverage on mobile apps, limited coverage on desktop, and reliance on click-data only.
Facebook and Neustar have joined forces to solve this marketing dilemma. By integrating Facebook exposure data with Neustar MarketShare MTA models, marketers can now understand and optimize the entire customer journey. Grounded in Customer Response Theory, Neustar MarketShare MTA uses three distinct sets of data to capture the entire customer decision process providing visibility across both audience and media performance across all channels including Facebook.

- Get accurate investment recommendations across mobile, desktop, and other devices
Neustar MTA Approach
1. A multi-dimensional view of the consumer
Neustar determines customer propensity by looking at both what we know about the consumer AND what they are being influenced by. All of these help characteristics tell a story about your consumer that allow you to connect with them on a deeper level with personalized and engaging customer experiences.
2. A macro view of market influence
External factors influence consumer behavior that marketers cannot control. By capturing and analyzing real world factors such as pricing, promotion, and competition, Neustar applies market-level models to more accurately understand the journey of the customer. This hybrid micro and macro approach helps marketers to both focus on variables within their control and to more accurately predict the outcome of those that are not.
Addressable media interactions
As a consumer moves along their purchase path, they leave breadcrumbs that provide insight into their intent, influence, and attitude. Neustar captures digital attribution variables derived from a customer’s interaction history. Understanding recency and frequency requires capturing hard data — impressions, clicks, views, and interactions — that tell a unique story about the customer’s journey.
