We just validated something most B2B marketers overlook about CTV.
Analyzed 54 days of LinkedIn CTV campaign data against website traffic.
The correlation? 0.69 (p < 0.001)
But here's what actually matters:
Organic Search correlation: 0.81
Direct traffic correlation: 0.65
CTV isn't driving clicks. It's driving search behavior.
People see your ad on LinkedIn CTV → they Google your brand → they visit your site.
We're seeing ~352 sessions per 1,000 CTV impressions, with the strongest lift happening in branded search traffic.
This is exactly how brand awareness should work. But most marketers measure it like performance media and wonder why "it doesn't work."
The data shows:
→ Same-day impact + 7-day sustained lift
→ Primary conversion path: CTV → Organic Search → Site
→ Implied cost per session: $0.08
If you're running CTV and only looking at click-through rates, you're measuring the wrong thing.
Look at your branded search volume. That's where the signal is.

SaaS Product Marketing Consultant and Copywriter

University of Waterloo

The Problem Lab works to identify and understand important problems to create innovations with disruptive economic and social consequences.

I work with a small team to help undergraduate and graduate students identify these important problems, quantify the scale of their problems, explore the history of their problem and past attempts to solve it, and package their work into a concise and compelling pitch.

Problem Lab Startup Advisor & Coach, University of Waterloo

Decision.io

I was responsible for a number of marketing functions including: content creation (blog, print and online ads, video, etc.), copywriting, competitive intelligence and social media.

I also supported our customers by setting up and configuring their workflows, conducting in-person and online tutorials, creating written tutorials, and providing email and chat support.

Marketing Manager

I worked to improve the capacity to communicate and create for two people with advanced neuromuscular disease. I investigated technology such as consumer grade brain-computer interface devices, eye trackers, tablets, voice recognition software etc. 

Ultimately, this project resulted in a massive lesson in user empathy, the limitations of technology, and what it means to persevere. 

While I wasn't as successful as I had hoped, recent developments from the likes of Intel's work with Stephen Hawking, mainly the release of the open source Assistive Contextually Aware Toolkit (ACAT), bring me hope that great work will be done in this field.

Graduate Researcher - The Games Institute (IMMERSe)

Project Assistant

In the Gambling Lab, the focus was primarily on slot machine gambling. The line of research investigated what it was about the gambler's user experience that caused some gamblers to become addicted. Put simply, it appeared to be an interplay of flashing lights, music, a phenomenon known as "near misses", and particular physiological responses to the experience of playing.

In this lab my responsibilities included:
- Collecting, organizing, and analysing data for academic papers
- Writing research ethics proposals that resulted in approved research experiments
- Recruiting participants and following proper research protocols to ensure validity and reliability
- Measuring Galvanic skin response and heart rate
- Assisting with an on site Casino study

Research Assistant - Gambling Research Lab

Synaesthesia is a neurological condition where stimulation in one sensory/cognitive pathway leads to an automatic and involuntary sensory experience in another domain. There are many types of synaesthesia including: sound/colour synaesthesia which is the automatic association of colours with certain sounds and notes, time/space synaesthesia which is the automatic association of certain dates with certain mental spaces, and number/colour synaesthesia where numbers appear to have their own unique colour assigned to them.

My responsibilities within this lab included:
- Collecting, organizing, and analysing data for academic papers
- Writing research ethics proposals that result in approved research experiments
- Recruiting participants and following proper research protocols to ensure validity and reliability

Research Assistant - Synaesthesia Lab

Learning to capture quality video and to edit footage was a side effect of this position. Mainly, I was exposed to lectures in a wide variety of disciplines including: physics, astronomy, math, philosophy, optometry, biology etc. Further, I filmed many esteemed guest lecturers during my time here. This helped me round out my education further by exposing myself to a wide range of ideas and ways of thinking.

- Responsible for the filming of class lectures for distance education learners 
- Responsible for the filming and editing of guest lecturers for DVDs and websites
- Opportunity to film and meet interesting speakers from around the world (Members of Parliament, CEO’s, Entrepreneurs, Scientists etc.)

Undergraduate Thesis

Marmot Labs

I completed a summer internship at the Communitech Hub based start-up Marmot Labs along with three other MDEI students. My primary role was to oversee the student project as its facilitator, with a focus on overall strategy. As a group, we were involved in many aspects of the business including: Product/Feature Planning, User Experience (UX) Design and Research, Usability Testing, Marketing/Onboarding Strategy, Social Media Strategy, and Market Research. Our goal was to help the Marmot team move their first product towards a successful open beta launch.

Facilitator - MDEI Summer Intern

I helped HubSpot increase free-trial conversions by nearly 100%, demo requests by 35%, and product signups by 27%.

I helped Deputy collect 40% more phone numbers during onboarding.

My work "blew away" any other test AWeber had tried. 

My email campaign for Poppulo to a mostly cold list resulted in over 200 quality enterprise leads and a webinar that outperformed every goal.

Snappa saw an "immediate uptick in paid conversions" after working with me.

And InsightSquared is still getting compliments on their messaging from other CMOs...

The marketer's struggle (my struggle?)

Prospect: "We need copy for a website redesign."

Me: "You do. But first, we need to figure out who we are, what we stand for, who we're against, who chooses us, and why we win when. Then, we need to decide how we talk about all of these moving pieces. Then, we should test copy on high-volume assets like a homepage or sales deck to make sure we have signal. Once we have signal, let's roll it out to the rest of the site. Otherwise, you'll be talking to another consultant in 6 months when this rewrite flops, telling them about how bad of a job I did. And then you'll do this again."

Client: "Sounds good. We'll be in touch." 

Client (in their head): "No we won't. That 22-year-old copywriter who hand wrote a few sales letters said they could start today and have the site rewritten in a week. It's a no-brainer."

No-brainer indeed...
