Tip 1
Notes
Tip 1: Notes
Example:Online Media Specialist: “I am seeing a DoubleClick tag fire on US G2M pricing page. Do you know who requested the tag and when?”
Web Analyst: “Yes, this was requested by Becky Dellar on your team. The tag request came in on 5/22/2012 as request for retargeting campaign”
Process Before Notes: Dig up emails, JIRA tickets etc. Approx. 30mins to hours. At times never
Process After Notes: Find tag in Tealium and review notes. 5 Minutes
Tip 1: Notes
• Benefits:– Save hours digging up history– Secondary ticketing system
• Note request method: JIRA ticket # | eMail
• Date Requested• Requested By (Name, Dept,
Region)• Additional background info (3-4
words)
Tip 2: Labels
Labels
Tip 2: Labels
Example:Agency: “Can you provide a list of all DoubleClick Floodlight tags for G2M US firing on the trial noncredit card confirmation page? Also is xyz tag firing on the buy welcome page?”
Web Analyst: “Yes, please see an attached list” (responded within 10 minutes)
Process Before Labels: Scan list of 150+ tags in Tealium to identify the specific tags. Good 15-20 minutes
Process After Labels: Apply label filter to narrow down the list. Less than 2 Minutes
Tip : Labels
• Benefits:– Organize tags/pixels in similar buckets– Save time searching for specific pixels– Especially helpful with large profiles that have multiple tags firing on
the same page
Tip 3: Extensions
Extensions
Tip 3: Extensions
Tealium Definition: An Extension is a tool in Tealium iQ for manipulating data collected from your site before you send it to your vendor tags.
Disagree
Tealium too modest with definition!
Tip 3: Extensions
• Used beyond just manipulation of data collected from the site
– Leveraged to run A/B Tests during down time of testing tool
– JS extension in place to force internal tracking parameters to populate
– Extension in place to manage Do Not Track Opt In/Out implementation.
Tip 3: Extensions
My Definition:
Extensions
What’s Next

App Tracking Challenges

for marketing campaigns
– Advertisers getting more mobile savvy and need for adding tags/pixels to mobile have increased
– Tedious & repetitive to implement each vendor SDK
Testing Tealium Solution
