Goodway Group Improves OfferIQ™ Automotive Industry Focused Video Overlay Ad

Goodway Group

Goodway Group, the digital partner advertisers trust to deliver campaign performance and media efficiency, announces their mid-cycle enhancement (MCE) to the company’s successful creative overlay ad unit, OfferIQ™. The updated product is designed expressly for automotive OEMs, Zones, LMAs, dealers, and their partner agencies. The improved dynamically-generated ad package meaningfully increases ad performance metrics. Introduced in October 2020, the original OfferIQ™ creative provided Goodway’s automotive clients with a revolutionary dynamic video ad unit. In addition to a better presentation of vehicle-specific incentives, OfferIQ™ enabled automatic at-scale ad customization for each participating dealer. The OfferIQ™ approach ended the era of traditional commercial tags or customized “doughnut hole” sections in the middle of an ad. Goodway’s proprietary system dynamically builds and delivers each ad in under 200 th of a second. Since its introduction, Goodway’s OfferIQ™ ad product has delivered over 95 million impressions utilizing PreRoll, YouTube and UniversalReach TV, Goodway’s Advanced TV/ Full Episode Player (FEP) solution. The performance of OfferIQ™ was tested over five months across 60 LMAs and hundreds of campaigns that ran traditional video versus OfferIQ™ ad units: Compared to traditional Advanced TV ads, OfferIQ™ ads showed a lift in conversion rates of 33%, meaning more ad viewers went on to take defined shopping actions at dealer websites after watching the ads. Compared to standard Pre-Roll video, OfferIQ™ raised conversion rates 25%, delivering proven increases for dealers. “The extra capabilities and customizable elements that come with the mid-cycle enhancement of OfferIQ™ make ads easier for customers to take in and act upon, which makes them even more effective,” said Tony Smihal, National Account Director at Goodway Group. Specific MCE improvements over the original OfferIQ™ ad units include: The dealer’s logo and address now accompany the dealership name to improve the connection to the dealer which helps lift conversion rates. The feature vehicle is larger to better identify the ad’s focus. The feature offer (type) is larger to make the offer a quicker read. The ad background is customizable regarding geography and/or season, to make the ad more relevant. Smihal added, “Goodway is the only agency offering a product as powerful as the new OfferIQ™. Our creative team developed a very capable dynamic ad creation system that gives our auto clients the ability to customize their marketing messages, which we have learned through market research, is extremely important to them; and the ads build themselves each time they run. While developed for our automotive clients, OfferIQ™ could be applied to other businesses that serve customers through a brick-and-mortar multi-location model.” The enhancements to OfferIQ™ not only increase conversion and completion rates, they also build on OfferIQ™’s ability to offer automated ad customization. This enables Zones, LMAs, and dealers to easily build and run campaigns that integrate brand-approved video assets, any vehicle or incentive and specific identification for Zone, LMA or dealers. A selection of backgrounds is available with the MCE to add another layer of visual customization. Available scenes include city skylines, regional landscapes, and seasonal graphics. “It is Goodway’s deep experience across the automotive Tier II and Tier III sectors that fuels innovative digital deliverables like the OfferIQ™ MCE,” says Dave Wolk, Goodway CEO. “The story behind OfferIQ™ is a great one; Our team collaborated with clients to fundamentally change automotive creative, and we used Goodway’s digital and programmatic strengths to do it.” Additional Goodway research has documented that when Goodway coordinated Zone campaigns with LMA campaigns, there was a 131% increase in conversion rate, reducing Cost Per Lower Funnel Actions by 59%.

COMCAST COMPLETES MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR BROADBAND EXPANSION TO MORE THAN 9,100 RURAL HOMES & BUSINESSES IN LAS VEGAS, NM

Comcast New Mexico

Comcast today announced the company completed a multi-million-dollar expansion to bring broadband and the entire suite of Xfinity services to more than 9,100 homes and businesses in Las Vegas, N.M. "The City of Las Vegas joins Comcast in celebrating the completion of this considerable investment in our community. An investment of this magnitude will support workforce development, virtual education, overall quality of life, and greater access to high-speed Internet for our residents. It also improves our Internet infrastructure in a way that may be attractive to businesses interested in locating or expanding their operations here," said Mayor Louie Trujillo of Las Vegas. “I am grateful for Comcast’s commitment to expanding broadband access in critical areas of New Mexico like Las Vegas.” This expansion is another example of Comcast’s investment in New Mexico to ensure residents and businesses have access to innovative, reliable, fast, and secure broadband services. In October, Comcast completed a network upgrade in Gallup, N.M. to bring Gig speeds to the community. In the last three years, Comcast has made $149.4 million investments in technology and infrastructure across the state. “This investment in Las Vegas will bring improved broadband services to thousands of homes and businesses -- expanding educational access and driving economic development opportunities within the community. Together with industry leaders like Comcast, New Mexico will continue to close the digital divide and address the needs of New Mexicans in communities large and small across the state,” said Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. Residential consumers in Las Vegas will have access to all Xfinity Internet service offerings with speeds faster than 1 Gig, as well as the award-winning Xfinity X1 video platform, Xfinity Home, Comcast’s professionally installed home security solution, and Xfinity Mobile. Comcast provides unmatched value to Xfinity Internet customers through superior WiFi coverage, control of connected devices with xFi in the Xfinity App, xFi Advanced Security for cyber security protection at the gateway level, a free Xfinity Flex 4K streaming device, as well as access to Peacock Premium and thousands of hours of free content. Businesses will have access to the full suite of Comcast Business services including Internet speeds up to 1 Gbps, Business TV, Phone, SmartOffice TM technologies, and dedicated business support. Comcast previously provided video-only services in Las Vegas. “Reliable broadband services are essential for healthy communities. With expanded broadband access, our community members can access telehealth, education, and other resources they need to stay connected and engaged” said Elmo Baca, Chair, Las Vegas New Mexico Community Foundation. This expansion provides low-income families and individuals across the Las Vegas area with access to Comcast’s Internet Essentials program, the nation’s largest and most successful broadband adoption initiative. The program provides 50 Mbps Internet service for $9.95 per month and the option to purchase a new Dell laptop for $150. Additionally, Comcast has participated in the federal government’s Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program since its inception in May 2021 and in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which extends and modifies the EBB. All Internet Essentials customers are eligible for ACP and can enroll in the program to receive their service for free. Since 2011, Internet Essentials has connected 296,000 low-income New Mexicans to the power of the Internet at home, many for the first time. “We welcome Comcast to our area. Having the services provided will be an incredible boost to our economy. Additional broadband options, including Gig Internet speeds, is critical for Las Vegas’ economic development goals. We know that relocating and expanding businesses need cutting-edge speeds,” said Philip Martinez, President, Las Vegas San Miguel Chamber of Commerce. “Technology is a powerful driver of innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth, and we recognize our company plays an important role in connecting New Mexicans to all the opportunities broadband offers,” said Chris Dunkeson, Area Vice President, Comcast. “Completing this expansion in Las Vegas is another example of our investment in New Mexico and our commitment to bringing more opportunities to communities around the state.” About Comcast Corporation Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company that connects people to moments that matter. We are principally focused on broadband, aggregation, and streaming with 57 million customer relationships across the United States and Europe.
