Kasim:

We have more data, which is always exciting.

Kasim:

So shout out to the Andrew on our team who at least told me about this.

Kasim:

If you go to reports, predefined reports, scroll down to other.

Kasim:

Performance Mex campaign placements.

Kasim:

First of all, could you hide this any better?

Kasim:

Lord Google?

Kasim:

This is actually really cool though.

Kasim:

Really cool.

Kasim:

Quite a bit of opportunity to slice and dice, and I'm not gonna, I get into,

Kasim:

because to be honest with you, I don't know how, and I don't want to look

Kasim:

stupid as I'm recording this video.

Kasim:

I'd have to go to school on it.

Kasim:

However, feel free to play with this.

Kasim:

And if there's somebody that's really knows their, their, their way around this,

Kasim:

I'd be really interested in learning.

Kasim:

We've got a gentleman actually that only does data analytics on our team.

Kasim:

So I might have him just go to help me go to school and figure

Kasim:

out the multi-dimension ability to integrate some of these reports.

Kasim:

Because when I see someone who's not an idiot like me play with

Kasim:

this, it can get really cool.

Kasim:

Just the comparative analysis that's allowed.

Kasim:

That said self-deprecation aside, check it out.

Kasim:

Uh, We get to see real placements instead of performance max 600 rows of them.

Kasim:

And they're actually exactly what you would think.

Kasim:

Like it's, it's like any other display campaign placements.

Kasim:

Here's one of the things that I'd caution you against is I'd caution you

Kasim:

against allowing this to discourage you because it doesn't matter.

Kasim:

Performance max isn't bidding on placements.

Kasim:

It's bidding on audience.

Kasim:

And so as long as your audience targeting is sound and the goals that you have set

Kasim:

up are being met, then what this means is this is where your audiences are.

Kasim:

However, I do think that there's some intelligence that can come out of this.

Kasim:

So the first thing is, you know, for instance I saw an investing site

Kasim:

here at one point wallet investors.

Kasim:

This is a company that sells pet products.

Kasim:

And if I saw a bunch of investing sites that, you know, and I have this sorted

Kasim:

by impression what I would start to do is I'd start to try to identify where

Kasim:

there's Consistency and commonalities that are outside of what I might have

Kasim:

otherwise assumed our guests, because that's going to feed my audience insights.

Kasim:

And so that could be a whole new asset group with a whole new audience insight.

Kasim:

If there was a bunch of these, there's not, but you know what I mean?

Kasim:

Like I'm giving an example.

Kasim:

Some of them make a ton of sense, top dog tips.com.

Kasim:

So I look at that and I'm like, gosh, I'm getting so much there,

Kasim:

maybe that becomes its own audience.

Kasim:

Maybe there's its own, you know asset group just for that.

Kasim:

And if I want it to be real sneaky, check this out, y'all check it out.

Kasim:

Y'all I go look at their brand and I look at their brand.

Kasim:

I look at the colors and look at the profile and look at the, the approach.

Kasim:

And now maybe, maybe the of such a child maybe the assets that

Kasim:

I'm using and started that essay.

Kasim:

Are more aligned with this brand, which, I mean, I gotta be honest with you.

Kasim:

That's that's Trojan horse level 5,000, like that's, bad-ass marketing.

Kasim:

If you had one brand that was like really performing very well for you.

Kasim:

And there's a couple of hero to.

Kasim:

My dog guide my pet child.

Kasim:

So this is just, I dunno, I would get the biggest kick out of digging

Kasim:

into this and really going to school and where we're, we're heading.

Kasim:

There is no in somebody correct me by the way, if I'm wrong.

Kasim:

Cause PMX is so new that maybe there's more.

Kasim:

More than you've been able to accomplish them.

Kasim:

We've been able to accomplish as far as I know, there's no negative placements

Kasim:

for performance max allocating negative placements on an account level.

Kasim:

Still doesn't let you assign them to performance max.

Kasim:

And I'm, I'm being that bullish to that statement because I've

Kasim:

heard other people say, otherwise, I have not had that experience.

Kasim:

If you upload you can have negative placements account wide, you can't

Kasim:

apply them to performance mix.

Kasim:

So at the moment, PMX isn't allowing us negative placements.

Kasim:

However, I hope and think it's coming.

Kasim:

I hope and think it's coming.

Kasim:

And when it's coming, what we're going to do is we're going to build like the

Kasim:

biggest baddest list that's ever existed for display based negative placements.

Kasim:

And then I'll try to share that with you all if I can, but

Kasim:

you know, what's really cool.

Kasim:

Is this, is there actually, this is such an interesting thing to see it's relevant.

Kasim:

The placements are relevant.

Kasim:

And there's a fricking ton of them.

Kasim:

You just get to see like the proliferation of this and this is

Kasim:

a relatively early stage campaign.

Kasim:

So, so exciting.

Kasim:

Y'all so, so exciting.

Kasim:

It's also really interesting to see some of the mobile apps that

Kasim:

are more popular than others.

Kasim:

Those could also like words of wonders, 139 impressions in

Kasim:

that say that one mobile app.

Kasim:

That's probably just maybe because it's a more popular game.

Kasim:

Have you ever heard of it?

Kasim:

I'm gonna try find when it's better.

Kasim:

Like, because this is a pet product company.

Kasim:

It'd be really cool.

Kasim:

If there's a pet product app.

Kasim:

You know, like if you were a pool company and then I saw Leslie's

Kasim:

pool supply app on your phone and the aha, a new audience, but that's

Kasim:

really what I'd be using this for.

Kasim:

I'd be using it as an additional audience insight.

Kasim:

This is a good example, demographic consecutive graphically.

Kasim:

It's probably not quite as applicable to this avatar, but

Kasim:

like, depending on what it is that we are selling king James Bible.

Kasim:

So for instance, let's say we were doing marriage counseling.

Kasim:

If we're doing marriage counseling.

Kasim:

And then all of a sudden I saw a bunch of impressions inside of this app that would

Kasim:

become a new audience for me, but then.

Kasim:

Advertisements would be more theologically leaning, obviously.

Kasim:

So don't just start tossing it.

Kasim:

Audiences, try to start matching your message and your assets to the audience.

Kasim:

That's where we're going to be cooking you all.

Kasim:

Like this is that's what's necessary and that's what makes performance max

Kasim:

amazing, but also hard, but also hard.

Kasim:

We can't be lazy.

Kasim:

We've been so spoiled for so long by this insane targeting that's been allowed.

Kasim:

It just got so good.

Kasim:

And so granular.

Kasim:

You actually have to zoom out a little bit.

Kasim:

You have to make sure because it is so precise that your message matches

Kasim:

the precision of the targeting.

Kasim:

Otherwise you could be doing yourself a disservice, so super cool.

Kasim:

So exciting.

Kasim:

It's going to be cool to see what else is coming for Pemex to like the more,

Kasim:

the data and analytics that we have.

Kasim:

Won't be matched.

Kasim:

So expect to be disappointed.

Kasim:

That's why there's some big agencies that have chosen not to

Kasim:

use performance measures because they don't like it reporting.

Kasim:

I'm like, okay, fine.

Kasim:

You know, it's like, I don't know, we're in an arms race.

Kasim:

And we just found like a new weapon that trumps all other weapons, but they

Kasim:

don't like it because it doesn't match the mounts on their old, old weapons.

Kasim:

That's.

Kasim:

That analogy is so much more apps than I'm going to give it credit

Kasim:

for it, because if I pursue it any further, people are going to get mad.

Kasim:

You have to adjust to the, whatever it is, the technological

Kasim:

capacity of your competitors.

Kasim:

And for people that aren't doing, that they're going to find

Kasim:

themselves really, really far behind.

Kasim:

So you're not going to get the data that you used to get, but you're going to

Kasim:

get a whole bunch of other data that's going to be, and you shouldn't get the

Kasim:

data that you used to get, because it's not actionable to you because it's not

Kasim:

the way that performance max works.

Kasim:

So I got, I want you to input.

Kasim:

I want to know what you think.

Kasim:

I mean, the comments say something.
