Measuring Marketing Impact in the Digital Age

This week we’re taking time off to spend the holidays with our families so we’re republishing one of our top episodes from the archives. We hope you enjoy, and we’ll be back with new content next week.

There are more than 130 marketing metrics. But how many really determine marketing effectiveness? Especially for brand-building channels like TV, radio, and print advertising? In this episode, VP of Analytics Matt Hultgren joins Angela and Elena to discuss how measurement best practices have changed and the importance of using multiple models to understand marketing’s full impact.

• [16:21] Top-down vs bottom-up marketing measurement
