The Role of Causal Inference in Marketing Measurement

Causal inference is a scientific method used in marketing measurement. It aims to establish a cause-effect relationship by creating conditions for experiments. Unlike traditional attribution models based on correlation, causal methods focus on determining the actual impact of interventions or treatments on desired outcomes, such as sign-ups or app downloads. Causal inference provides insights into the effectiveness of marketing efforts, revealing the true cost per acquisition and uncovering the channels that deliver the best results. It helps businesses understand the true value of their marketing efforts and make more informed decisions.
