What does Halo Effect mean?

One media channel's indirect impact on other channels' performance, invisible in classic attribution.

Full definition

The halo effect covers cross-channel spillovers: a TV wave boosting Google searches for your brand, a DOOH campaign improving your social ads' click rates. These effects appear in no platform report, since each claims the final conversion.

Why is it important?

Ignoring the halo leads to under-investing demand-creating channels (TV, OOH, audio) in favor of demand-capturing ones (Search, retargeting) — until demand dries up and blended CAC soars.

The Jour de Chance approach

"We measure halo through drive-to-web (airing/traffic correlation), brand queries and geo-experiments. That's often where a TV campaign's real profitability hides."
