They are always directly related to a touchpoint from one of your channel tools such as Facebook ads or interval email blasts. Each experience comes with an intelligence report to get insights and information related to the performance. This prevents you from having to log into every single channel tool every single day to understand how your marketing is performing. In addition, you'll be able to better understand the relationship to your content that's available, the content that resonates with your market, as well as a variety of other data science AI-based insights. When paired with goals, experiences unlock attribution. So you can better understand what experiences are contributing to reaching your top-level goals, ensure that you are always investing in campaigns that are moving you towards your goal, first just converting independently. Getting started with experiences is easy using our unique experience import functionality. Simply go to experiences, add experience, import, choose your tool of preference. Here we'll choose Facebook. Choose an authorization. In this case, we don't have an authorization set up, so we'll set up a new one. We'll call it MarkzOff. We'll save my authorization. Now, when we're back in the wizard, you'll see my opt is available. I'll click this, choose the Facebook account that I'd like to use to import from, and I'll be presented with all of the ads that are currently running or have ran from that account. Simply checking the ads that I'd like to import, and choosing import three experiences in this case, will result in those three campaigns and all their contextual information being imported into Lytx so that you can easily access them, manage them, and ultimately optimize those with Lytx audiences in the future. When it comes to activating an experience, you can do so in just a few clicks. In this example, we have a web personalization experience that hasn't been published yet. We'll simply go to edit, verify the configuration. Everything looks good here. We'll save and exit. And then we'll resume or we'll publish. At this point, that web personalization campaign is live. In the case of Facebook or Google Ads, this would kick off the pushing of the audience that you've configured to that platform so that you can configure it within your ad. Lytx experiences are at the heart and soul of understanding how your campaigns are performing, can be optimized, and integrate with the rest of your marketing technologies. That's it for this intro to experiences, but stay tuned for more advanced guides on how experiences play an important role in automation as you move forward towards one-to-one marketing. #### Subtitles (WebVTT) ```webvtt WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.000 Experiences represent your individual marketing efforts, or in many cases campaigns. 2 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:15.000 They are always directly related to a touchpoint from one of your channel tools such as Facebook ads or interval email blasts. 3 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.000 Each experience comes with an intelligence report to get insights and information related to the performance. 4 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:26.000 This prevents you from having to log into every single channel tool every single day to understand how your marketing is performing. 5 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:36.000 In addition, you'll be able to better understand the relationship to your content that's available, the content that resonates with your market, 6 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.000 as well as a variety of other data science AI-based insights. 7 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:47.000 When paired with goals, experiences unlock attribution. 8 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:53.000 So you can better understand what experiences are contributing to reaching your top-level goals, 9 00:00:53.000 --> 00:01:00.000 ensure that you are always investing in campaigns that are moving you towards your goal, first just converting independently. 10 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.000 Getting started with experiences is easy using our unique experience import functionality. 11 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:13.000 Simply go to experiences, add experience, import, choose your tool of preference. 12 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.000 Here we'll choose Facebook. 13 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.000 Choose an authorization.

All of the underlying functionality is the same, but you will notice that things look a little different from this Academy guide. The most notable change is that the navigation menu has moved from the top of the app to the left side. We appreciate your patience as we work on updating our Academy. ## Overview ## What will I learn? * What are Experiences? * Why are they important? * What does it do to my audiences? * Can I customize my Goals? In this guide, we'll introduce you to Experiences in Lytics. Experiences are how we represent marketing initiatives in the Lytics UI. Experiences can be created from scratch and then pushed out to your activation tool of choice or imported directly from common tools such as Facebook or Google Ads. No recreating the wheel here. Each Experience has a provider and tactic, as well as an audience (or optional filter audience if the Experience is associated with a Goal), and a status that indicates its state or health. ## Knowledge Check **You can monitor the performance of your cross-channel campaigns within your Lytics dashboard.** A. True B. False Answer: A - True.
