16. How can I deliver winning creative campaigns that use cutting edge technology? In your business, you need to provide both creativity and technology for your clients Rich, interactive, multi-media marketing campaigns come with complex technological demands Campaign success tied to available and flexible technology Traditional technology solutions haven’t evolved to meet your business needs Need to plan for peak capacity, negotiate contracts, lock in to a vendor, etc

17. How can I deliver winning creative campaigns that use cutting edge technology? In contrast, Amazon Web Services are: Simple Easy to get started Agile No lock-in or long term commitments Flexible Wide range of technology available on demand

18. How can I deliver winning creative campaigns that use cutting edge technology? Customer Example: ATTIK Scion ‘Reinvent the Wheels’ Campaign ATTIK, a full-service advertising agency, took Scion to the next level by deploying a reality series powered by AWS that delivered more than 5TB of data in one month, to hundreds of thousands of viewers. How AWS services were utilized: Web server was run on Amazon EC2 Static assets stored on Amazon S3 Video streaming through Amazon CloudFront In 4 months, well over half a million viewers have already watched the "Reinvent The Wheels" episodes online.

19. How can I deliver winning creative campaigns that use cutting edge technology? Customer Example: ATTIK (cont...) "This unique campaign allows us to showcase the compelling stories of three emerging artists as they transform a car with limited time and resources. This approach provides a level of engagement not seen before in traditional advertising," said Jack Hollis, Vice President, Scion. "In addition, we're providing a new access point for the creative community to explore, get inspired and to stay connected with the brand."

21. Clients demand extensive campaign performance metrics

22. Often difficult to turn analytics into insight

23. This traditionally would mean late nights with a spreadsheet … and a little guesswork

24. Manually consolidate multiple databases, third party data, etc

26. What’s the best way to show my clients the ROI on their campaign? The Amazon Web Services solution: Amazon Elastic MapReduce Elastic MapReduce (Hadoop) helps you analyze large volumes of data from your website logs, Amazon CloudFrontlogsand any other data source (e.g., A/B testing) Benefits: Business Intelligence “in the cloud” means on demand campaign analytics Better campaign performance analysis provides you better control over campaign behavior Helps you deliver powerful campaign ROI effectively to your clients Example of Contextual Advertising with Elastic MapReduce: http://aws.amazon.com/articles/2855?_encoding=UTF8&jiveRedirect=1

27. What’s the best way to show my clients the ROI on their campaign? Customer Example: Razorfish Razorfish a Top-tier digital advertising and marketing firm Client: Top 10 retailer Analysis of non-personally identifiable data from browsing sessions Process 3.5 billion records and 71 million cookies a day on client’s click stream transaction logs Completed development and testing of first client project in 6 weeks Ongoing processing time required is now 17% of original effort (8 hours vs. 2+ days previously) and ROAS for client increased by 500% Collect Click Stream Data Analyze Click Stream Data Inspect Results Optimize Campaign

28. How do I manage a broad set of customers? Your business is unpredictable – projects come and go, and managing multiple campaigns is overwhelming Seasonality (e.g., holidays) and other factors (e.g., TV sweeps) can causes technology resource planning problems Delivering rich marketing and media across multiple regions can be a challenge to manage Allocating project expenses is difficult Traditionally, this meant building for the peak Planning capacity for peak utilization is expensive Managing multiple technology vendors adds complexity Manually estimate project-specific expenses

29. How do I manage a broad set of customers? With Amazon Web Services: Scalable Flexible Global Benefits: Commit to deliver, even when campaigns go viral, and never fear technology infrastructure constraints Build it once, customize and deploy it for multiple clients One stop shop for your rich media marketing solution regardless of geographic dependencies Clear technology cost allocation on a per project basis

31. Working with PUMA to create a common set of web services tied to PUMA’s back end systemsThese web services provide a standard approach across microsites to enable more compelling user experiences in a cost-effective manner

32. How to I help my firm meet launch deadlines and reduce time to market? Campaign deadlines make timely procurement and provisioning of technology resources difficult You don’t always have the forecast and pipeline information available in advance You have limited budgets “Success Disaster” You over acquire technology infrastructure and much of it goes unused Or you don’t have enough capacity and have unhappy clients The traditional solution To meet time sensitive and unpredictable demands, costly technology resources must be procured well in advance of the campaign

35. No capacity constraints

36. Easily implement highly scalable architectures

37. Be prepared!Scalability

38. How to I help my firm meet launch deadlines and reduce time to market? Customer Example: Sorenson Media Sorenson 360, a SaaS-based video platform, is architected entirely on top of Amazon Web Services. Charles Sismondo, VP Engineering: “We are able to shave months off planning and development time on all product-related builds, and customized Sorenson 360 Enterprise deal time-to-market is significantly diminished … Amazon has taken the hardware purchasing pain out – now we have instant scalability and surefire capacity planning. And last but not least, our pricing, built atop AWS, has been far easier and more transparent (and more cost effective!).”

39. How do I reduce the cost of technology and yet always have sufficient capacity? You want to innovate, meet client demands, and win more business, but… The infrastructure/technology risk is too high May need to lower margins to remain price competitive Over promising can damage your reputation There’s a limit to how much you’d want to scale The traditional solution Reduce technology costs at the risk of constraining your business growth Acquire managed or hosted capacity Rent physical IT resources from third parties

40. How do I reduce the cost of technology and yet always have sufficient capacity? The AWS solution: Benefits: Focus on your needs, not on hardware specs Scale up or down depending on usage needs; no capacity constraints Large, 24x7, dedicated operations teams, same operations infrastructure and experience as Amazon.com retail sites You can be innovative and try new things that were too difficult to try Self-serve model (API, Management Console) Run existing commercial and open source applications Agility Scalability Reliability

41. How do I reduce the cost of technology and yet always have sufficient capacity? Customer Examples Indianapolis 500 Hosting 3.1 million unique visitors on Indy500.com Streaming live race feeds 100k high resolution images on Amazon S3 Able to save over 50% in costs Animoto Animoto’s large scale implementation Scale: 50 servers to 5000 servers in 3 days Urmystar Amazon S3 & CloudFront eliminate the need to manage or own any hardware Scales storage as needed bringing significant cost savings

45. Elastic Beanstalk – Rapid Deployment

46. Virtual Private Cloud – Secure Networking VPC

47. In Summary: Comparing The Two.. Traditional Cloud Design site Predict traffic Forecast & budget Get budget approval ($$$) Arrange for hosting Upload Initiate campaign Monitor, scale, worry Reap benefits Design site Get budget approval ($) Upload Initiate campaign Reap benefits
