Kenshoo Halogen illuminates the future potential of digital marketing campaigns to meet specific goals and objectives. Designed to work with Kenshoo's advanced targeting and bidding algorithms, Kenshoo Halogen uses past performance of campaigns and a wide variety of market data to provide forecasts and scenario plans that can be automatically applied to in-market campaigns. Through an intuitive interface, marketers can determine how much more return can be produced with extra budget, how much revenue can be generated at different levels of spend, and how much potential a portfolio or single campaign has.
"Kenshoo Halogen has not only helped us to more accurately forecast budgets, the technology gives us the ability to plan for different scenarios and set expectations on future performance," said Paul Kasamias, Search Director, U.K. at Starcom MediaVest Group. "As a result, we've been able to make quick, informed decisions and increase the return on investment for our clients."
"The combination of SMG and Kenshoo Halogen gives us more precision and visibility than ever. We're trying to find the most efficient way to drive new business and paid search is an important channel to make that connection," said Michelle Cranston, Assistant Digital Marketing Manager at Travelodge. "With the ability to set a clear forecast and automatically optimize to our goals, we saw a 36% lift in ROI."
Now available to all Kenshoo clients, Kenshoo Halogen includes a growing set of tools for digital marketing budget forecasting and scenario planning that complement Kenshoo Portfolio Optimizer, Kenshoo's proprietary solution for portfolio bid optimization.
"Kenshoo Halogen has made a significant impact for us in our daily budget management with significant time-savings and ensuring we stay within our increasingly small margin for error," said Stephanie Lee, Search and Display Manager at Restaurant.com. "We've reduced our daily pacing checks 5-10 hours per week and applied those hours to other critical functions of our campaigns. Kenshoo Halogen has provided benefits across the board."
"At Kenshoo, innovation is at the core of everything we do and we're diligent in our pursuit to provide marketers with the industry-leading technologies they need to optimize campaigns based on unique goals and objectives," said Will Martin-Gill, SVP, Product for Kenshoo.
