The Importance of Measurement in Marketing
Effective measurement plays a crucial role in marketing strategy, emphasizing the need for marketers to listen to market trends and adjust accordingly. Rather than solely relying on traditional A/B testing, taking an iterative measurement approach allows for quicker insights and adaptations to optimize campaigns.
