“Half the cash I spend on promoting is wasted; the difficulty is, I don’t know which half.”
Figuring out the context of his work, my view of the notorious quote attributed to John Wanamaker is that promoting measurement is essentially and essentially unsure, even in success. This surfaces one other, for my part, invalid interpretation of the quote: that promoting is just efficient when it may be measured completely, completely, and with complete precision. To my thoughts, this has been the prevailing view inside digital promoting sector: that promoting measurement is inherently outlined by complete, deterministic precision.
That is the measurement delusion.
On this podcast, I’ll unpack the measurement delusion and why I imagine the digital promoting ecosystem is abandoning it in favor of extra holistic, statistically subtle, and scalable approaches to promoting attribution and measurement. I’ll talk about a few of the methodologies on the frontier of promoting attribution which can be assuaging the necessity for deterministic identification in promoting measurement and the way their use permits advertisers to materially develop the attain of their messaging, and what the implications of which can be for the digital economic system.
