Q

What measurement approach can be limited by things such as struggling to capture incremental sales where an increase is minimal, requiring collaboration between modelers and an econometric model, and not inferring causality (only correlation)?

A

Marketing Mix Modeling

17
Q

What measurement approach tests multiple campaigns against one another to see which tactical approach produces the best results based on your KPIs?

A

A/B Test

18
Q

What measurement approach may be limited by factors such as not including control groups or not always being appropriately powered with adequate conversion numbers in each group?

A

A/B Test

19

What measurement approach shows how channels work together to generate business outcomes?

A

Cross-channel reach reporting

20
Q

What measurement approach shows how much credit each touchpoint in the consumer’s path to conversion should get?

22
Q

These limitations stand for what measurement approach?

  • Metrics vary by channel
  • Cross-channel reach reporting can be challenging because not all channels share touchpoint/reach data
  • Limitations vary by specific solution. In general, limitations arise when metrics are not comparable or like-for-like data is not available
  • Reach does not always correlate with brand and conversion business outcomes

23
Q

These limitations stand for what measurement approach?

  • Statistical attribution models can be costly to access in some cases, while others are limited to specific channels
  • Cross-device limitations on cookie- or web-based systems
  • Many tools do not have access to the full path to conversion (for example, in-app impression data is often not shared across publishers)
  • Often only includes digital channels

Attribution

24
Q

These limitations stand for what measurement approach?

  • Can struggle to capture incremental sales where an increase is minimal
  • Requires collaboration between modelers and an econometric model
  • Doesn’t help with in-channel optimization
  • Does not infer causality, only correlation
  • Can be time-intensive to implement

25
Q

These limitations stand for what measurement approach?

  • Some A/B tests do not include control groups, only randomized test groups. In these cases, they do not measure causality or the incremental value of a strategy, and therefore are not recommended when strategy A has a different baseline conversion rate than strategy B (such as audience)
  • Not all tests are appropriately powered with adequate conversion numbers in each group
A

A/B test

26
Q

These limitations stand for what measurement approach?

  • Tests may not be set up with sufficient statistical power (for example, budget is too low, test duration is too short, not enough conversions)
  • Accurate power calculations can be challenging to carry out where there is a lack of historical data from similar activity on which to base the calculation
  • Control groups may become contaminated by media running outside the experiment that targets the audience being measured
  • Treatment variable may not always be isolated
  • Tests may not run long enough to capture the full purchase cycle or longer-term impact of the strategy being measured
  • Experiments may not always capture the full impact of a strategy (for example, offline data may not be available to upload)
  • Not all experimental approaches manage outliers and variance equally
