AWAY FROM THE SCREEN

The campaign also runs on the street

Advertising analytics usually reads impressions, clicks, and conversions from the ad platforms. Out-of-home placements, in-store displays, and what an audience remembers sit outside those reports.

Media owners report the posting

Media owners send posting reports after a flight starts. The media buying team pays on those reports, site by site.

Sena:For each site a campaign names, Sena captures a dated, geo-verified photo showing the billboard or transit poster is up.

Platforms count views, audiences hold the message

Campaign analytics counts views and clicks per ad. Which message an audience remembers, and what it intends next, comes from consumers.

Sena:Sena captures which message consumers recall and their stated intent, by segment and market.

Channel plans start from last year

Media planning often starts from last year's spend by channel. The channels an audience uses differ from market to market.

Sena:Sena captures which channels consumers use and trust for each client category.

The decisions

Four decisions agency teams make

Sena adds placement photos and consumer answers to the advertising analytics behind each client decision.

Decision 01

Pay media owners for placements that ran

Sena checks each booked site against a dated, geo-verified photo, so the confirmed count sits beside the media owner's posting report.

Decides:Which media owners get paid in full and which owe a make-good.

Decision 02

Set the media mix by market

Decision 04

Win the pitch with audience answers

Consumers in the prospect's category state why they choose a product, which rivals they compared, and what would make them switch.

Decides:Which audience and message the agency leads with in the pitch.

HOW A TEAM CHECKS EACH PLACEMENT

Every confirmed site has a dated photo

Each figure links to the placement photo or consumer answer behind it, so the team shows the client its advertising data with the source attached.

A dated photo per placement

Each photo carries the site's location and the capture date, and a placement counts as confirmed only with one.

Consumer answers, checked in several steps

Each answer is shared by consent. Every capture clears a multi-level QA flow before it counts. Sena declines a capture that misses the check, and the decline stays visible.

PROOF OF POSTING

Count the placements still unconfirmed

For out-of-home advertising, proof of posting starts with two counts: the placements booked in the media plan and the placements a dated photo confirms. The gap, priced at the team's own cost per placement, is the spend the agency settles with each media owner before the invoice clears.

  • Confirmed placements by site type and market
  • Each unconfirmed site tied to the media owner that sold it
  • Spend at stake, from the team's own cost per placement

FAQ

Questions agency teams ask

01 What is advertising analytics?
Advertising analytics is the practice of reading campaign data, from impressions and clicks to placements and sales, to decide where to spend and what to run. Sena, a Decision AI with access to real-world data, brings decision intelligence to agency teams by adding geo-verified placement photos and consented consumer answers to the team's own files, so each figure traces to the answer or photo behind it.
02 What is data driven advertising?
Data driven advertising sets audience, channel, message, and budget from measured results and audience answers. Sena adds the offline side of advertising analytics: dated photos of each named placement and what consumers recall, by segment and market. Media teams then move budget to the placements that went up and stayed in mind.
03 What advertising data does Sena add?
Sena adds advertising data from outside the ad platforms: a dated, geo-verified photo of each placement a campaign names, and consumer answers on recall, channel use, and purchase reasons. Impressions and clicks stay in the platform reports behind the team's advertising analytics.
04 How is out-of-home advertising measured?
Advertising agencies measure out-of-home advertising with posting reports, audience estimates from media owners, and recall checks after the flight. Sena adds a dated, geo-verified photo of each named placement and recall answers from consumers in the markets the campaign names. Each photo also settles which media owners owe a make-good.
05 How do teams judge advertising effectiveness?
Advertising effectiveness weighs what a campaign cost against what audiences recall and intend to do. Sena captures that recall and stated intent from consumers in the client's category, beside the team's own campaign analytics and spend files. That shows which flights earned their budget.
06 How do planners choose the media mix?
Planners choose the media mix from reach, cost, and how each channel performs for the audience. Sena adds which channels consumers use, trust, and act on, so the plan starts from the audience the client wants to reach. Budget then follows the channels that audience trusts most.
07 Which systems does Sena connect to for agency teams?
Sena connects to the systems advertising agencies already run across 250+ integrations, including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics, and reads uploaded Excel, CSV, and PDF files. Placement photos and consumer answers join that data, so each client report covers the platforms and the street.
