Marketing measurement is critical for quantifying the impact of marketing efforts and optimizing budget allocation. From traditional econometric models to advanced attribution techniques, these strategies reveal what drives sales and return on investment (ROI). We regularly see 10-20%+ improvements in ROI and/or revenue after optimizing our clients’ mix of media, creative, pricing, regional, and promotional strategies. Today, we are even optimizing daily impressions to maximize sales. It is a holistic solution and representative of our industry’s most evolved approach.

This comprehensive yet accessible guide explores Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM), its evolution, and other key measurement strategies, grounded in academic literature and analyst insights from Gartner.
