    What To Do After a Bad Incrementality Test Result

    You see success stories about brands that have leveraged incrementality testing to transform their business. While these are inspiring, they conceal an inescapable reality of executing a high-impact incrementality testing program: Sometimes, test results will bum you out. In our latest episode of Open Haus Playbook, Haus Measurement Strategists Dean Gordon and Ike Armstrong sit down to talk about that difficult moment when you get a test result that “punches you in the chin.” First, they outline ways to frame that poor test result in a way that's productive — not just to your marketing org, but also to the finance team and the C-suite. Then they lay out their playbook for next steps after a less-than-stellar result. They’ll share some tactical testing ideas that can build upon this baseline result and turn it from a disappointment to the start of improved media performance.In this episode:Intros, and defining “bad" results (1:22)The different types of disappointing test results (4:37)Reframing a “bad” test result (7:42)How do you communicate disappointing test results to finance?

    Incrementality Testing at Scale: Lessons from Newton CMO Aaron Zagha

    Newton CMO Aaron Zagha was early to Amazon when DTC brands were still allergic to it. He was early to influencer marketing when nobody had figured out how to measure it. And he was early to incrementality testing when most CMOs were still trusting last-click attribution and in-platform ROAS. As CMO of Newton Baby, Aaron didn't just build a brand; he helped invent a category, convinced parents that purchasing a baby mattress required research and thought, and scaled the company to an acquisition by Resident (Ashley Home Furniture). Along the way, he quietly became one of the most analytically rigorous growth marketers in DTC. In this episode of Open Haus, Aaron joins Haus CMO Olivia Kory to walk through his full journey: from a finance background that gave him an unusual obsession with measurement, to the scrappy early days of Newton Baby, to their exit — all while taking us blow-by-blow through the experiments and hard-won lessons that made the difference.  Aaron also explains how, with Haus, Newton Baby improved marketing efficiency by 30% over a three-year period, significantly boosting efficiency in a tumultuous macroeconomic environment. This is an episode for growth marketers who want to hear what it actually looks like to build a data-driven marketing org from the inside. Aaron’s story lays out just how important it is to see around corners and always remain rigorous (and unemotional) when it comes to figuring out what’s working and what isn’t.  In this episode: Aaron's journey from finance to ecommerce (1:26) How Aaron "picked the right horse" with Newton Baby (4:13) The highlights and lowlights from Aaron's time at Newton Baby (8:43) Aaron's early big bet on influencer marketing (12:15) Newton's forward-thinking omnichannel sales strategy (15:56) Inside Newton's acquisition by Resident (22:00) Aaron's measurement journey with Haus (26:16) The efficiency gains Aaron unlocked with incrementality testing (34:50) Balancing optimizing for growth vs. efficiency (38:43) The importance of building a strong customer advisory board (41:49) About Newton: Newton Baby strives to revolutionize the landscape of infant sleep by offering a range of meticulously crafted, healthy, and safe sleep products. At the forefront of their innovation is the creation of the world's first 100% breathable, washable, and recyclable crib mattress. Beyond crib mattresses, their commitment to excellence extends to a diverse array of offerings, including furniture, bedding, and even pet beds. Newton Baby ensures that their products not only meet the highest standards of safety but also cater to the varied needs of families.

    Operationalizing MMM & Experiments

    The gap between having an MMM and actually operationalizing it is one of the biggest challenges in modern marketing measurement. Models produce outputs — but what happens next? How do teams turn those outputs into real budget decisions? In this live Open Haus session, we're bringing together the science and the practice. Phil Erickson, Haus' Head of Science Strategy, will kick things off with a look at the state of MMM in 2026 — the latest science, the emerging methodologies, and why experiments remain the critical missing ingredient for most MMMs. Tyler Horner, Manager of Solutions Consulting at Haus, will break down what it actually looks like to operationalize MMM: how to move past triangulation toward a unified source of truth, and how leading brands are putting model insights into action. Then, marketing leaders from StockX and OluKai will share their real-world experiences operationalizing Causal MMM — what's working, what they've learned, and what they’re planning next. They covered a lot of ground, including: The State of MMM in 2026 — and how it’s evolved (4:00) How we’ve evolved our use of experiments in MMMs (10:17) Adjusting experiments for seasonality so your model isn't biased (20:10) A framework for next steps based on cost curves (22:38) How StockX operationalized MMM and experiments (28:49) How OluKai reduced CAC by 20% overnight by following Causal MMM (37:07) AMA (46:14)
