Measurement & Attribution | MMA / Marketing + Media Alliance

How do we measure what marketing really drives, in numbers a CFO will trust?

Finance wants proof that marketing drives growth, yet the leading measurement methods often disagree. MMA’s Great Debates weigh which methods to trust, and our benchmark studies show how marketers measure. Brand as Performance, our research with Ally Financial, TransUnion, and Campbell’s, measures what brand adds to growth.

Webinar Partner

Most acquisition models are built to find people who are likely to buy, but a customer who converts is not the same as a customer who stays, spends, and becomes valuable over time. Join us as Brunswick and AlixPartners walk through a model that predicts lifetime value at the individual prospect level, before anyone becomes a customer. Back-testing estimates a 20% lift in acquired lifetime value for the same marketing spend.
