Source Profile: Skai
Skai, rebranded from Kenshoo in 2021, has developed a suite of tools to support advertisers and agencies as they plan, execute, analyze, and optimize campaigns across search, social, and on retailers’ properties.
We value Skai’s data because of its quarterly granularity, recency (the most recent data is from Q4 2021), and efforts to “static” the dataset, providing apples-to-apples comparisons on year-to-year comparisons.
Methodology Behind the KPIs
Data in Skai’s Q2 2021 quarterly trends report was based on advertiser campaign data managed through the Skai platform on Google, Microsoft Advertising, Yahoo, Yahoo Japan, Baidu, Yandex, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, Apple, Amazon, Walmart, Instacart, and Criteo. Per Skai, it was based on over 750 billion impressions, 15 billion clicks, and $7 billion in spending across multiple countries and industry categories. Skai’s clients span 20 vertical industries and 60 countries. Skai created a static set of clients for Industry KPIs in order to represent changes over the entire time period independent of changes in its client base.
