Guest Quote:
“ I think that for too long, we've said marketing can't be measured. It's both an art and a science. And I agree it is still art, but I think that if you want to be a true partner to the business, you have to be able to show your impact. And so the first thing I would do is I would sit down with whoever controls the budget, and really sit down and say, are these the goals that are important to us and this is how marketing can continue? And if you agree on the fact that, yes, do we agree that these are the metrics? If so, then you have everything you need for your decision science team, your insights team, to set up campaigns that will help you determine whether or not you achieve that goal. So I think the idea of just being really clear on the objective, having business support for that objective, and then being able to measure it and talk about it is really important.”
