Read the first 7 Marketing Officer Advertising & Campaign Performance Evaluation flashcards as text

  1. A marketing officer compares a campaign's planned media schedule against actual delivery and finds 20% underdelivery. Which factor is least likely to cause this?

    Answer: A competitor launching a similar product

    Competitor product launches affect brand competition but don't directly cause ad delivery underdelivery; technical and budget constraints are the primary culprits.

  2. What does a marketing officer mean when referring to 'ad auction dynamics' in programmatic advertising?

    Answer: The automated real-time bidding process that determines which ad is shown and at what price

    Ad auction dynamics refer to the real-time bidding (RTB) process where advertisers compete in millisecond auctions to serve their ad to a specific user at a given moment.

  3. A retail brand's holiday campaign shows a spike in direct traffic and branded search during the campaign period. This observation most likely indicates:

    Answer: Paid advertising created brand awareness that drove consumers to search directly for the brand

    Increased branded search and direct traffic during an advertising campaign is a strong halo signal that paid ads are building brand awareness and intent.

  4. Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)?

    Answer: Total marketing and sales spend ÷ number of new customers acquired

    CAC equals all marketing and sales costs divided by the number of new customers acquired in the same period.

  5. A marketing officer is reviewing creative performance data and notices that video ads with captions outperform those without by 40% on completion rate. The most likely reason is:

    Answer: Many users watch social video content with sound off, and captions maintain message delivery

    A large proportion of social media video is consumed without audio; captions ensure the message is communicated regardless of sound settings.

  6. A brand runs a campaign with a $50,000 budget and generates $200,000 in tracked revenue. What is the ROAS, and how should it be interpreted?

    Answer: ROAS = 4x; the campaign returned $4 for every $1 spent on advertising

    ROAS = Revenue ÷ Ad Spend = $200,000 ÷ $50,000 = 4x, meaning every dollar invested in advertising returned four dollars in revenue.

  7. A marketing officer wants to reduce wasted ad spend on irrelevant searches in a paid search campaign. Which tactic directly addresses this goal?

    Answer: Building and regularly updating a negative keyword list

    Negative keywords prevent ads from showing for irrelevant search queries, directly reducing wasted spend on unqualified clicks.
