As part of AirFrance's marketing team, we had to develop an SEM marketing campaign in order to maximize ROA and increase ticket sales. After collecting data from “Double-Click” on previous marketing campaigns and assessing key KPIs, we analyzed the different search engines that AirFrance worked on within July 2007. Then, we used R Studio to execute some descriptive and predictive analysis and come up with useful business insights and recommendations.

From the #Average Profit per Booking Bar Chart, Yahoo-US and MSN-US have the highest. Overture US has the lowest.

#PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

Analyzing Search Engines - In order to find the engines that delivered the highest value, we looked at KPIs like Revenue, ROA, and Probability of Booking. We defined our business success and business failure by comparing all values with their respective variable mean and assign 1 to every value that was above the mean and 0 for those who were not.

From the graphs above, Kayak results to be the most effective search engine with the highest ROA and probability of booking. Although we have limited data, we can observe that Kayak is an upcoming platform with lots of opportunities and room for investment.  

 

 

#GLM & GINI TREE 

A creative solution that will agile the process in future opportunities - Once we got the results, we compared 2 different logical regression functions (glm and Gini trees) to define the best one for our purpose. Finally, we came out with a process that can lead us to test if our designed campaigns are suitable and have a high probability of being successful. This process can optimize also future campaigns and will solve possible future time inconveniences.

#BUSINESS INSIGHTS & RECCOMENDATIONS 

  • We would recommend AirFrance to use a tailored strategy for each search engine and test it before with the logistic regression model we created for maximizing their probabilities for business success focused on maximizing ROA.
  • We found that Kayak has the highest ROA rate and Booking probability - this could be seen as a profitable investment.
  • Yahoo and MSN have low costs and high profits per booking.
  • We also recommend reducing the investment amount in Google and Overture because it lacks efficiency - both have high costs and high competition.
