    Challenges of Marketing Measurement with Neil Hoyne, Chief Strategist @ Google

    Challenges of Marketing Measurement with Neil Hoyne, Chief Strategist @ Google

    What are the biggest challenges facing marketers and analysts today? Is it privacy regulations? Technology changes? AI?

    In two words: unmet expectations.

    Neil Hoyne, Chief Strategist at Google, shares his insights into the evolution of marketing measurement given the current environment and challenges.



    Even with MMMs and incrementality testing, at the end of the day the organizations that win will be the ones that can take action and make decisions based on the data. This is not a tool problem, or a data problem - it’s a people problem. Organizational friction and human behavior is still there.



    Listen in as we discuss the resurgence of Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) as essential tool for marketers in a privacy-centric era, the importance of adaptability within the marketing industry, and the crucial role of storytelling and relationship building in data interpretation.

    These ain't your parents' billboards - Measuring OOH with Ty Tinker of AdQuick

    These ain't your parents' billboards - Measuring OOH with Ty Tinker of AdQuick

    Billboards, transit posters, digital signage - these are just a few of the options for out-of-home (OOH) advertising. OOH is a format that as digital marketers and analysts, we don’t typically consider. But when it comes to measuring billboards and other OOH channels, how exactly do we do that?

    We brought on an expert at the cutting edge of OOH to answer this question, and bring light to how OOH is changing in today’s digital world.

    Ty Tinker is Head of Analytics at AdQuick - a company that is modernizing the out-of-home advertising space. We talked with him about the finer details of OOH measurement, including the past, present and future capabilities.

    Do you really know how to test your paid media?

    Do you really know how to test your paid media?

    Have you ever been told by some smug data scientist that you just need to run a randomized controlled trial to understand the true incrementality of a paid media channel? Just run a power analysis to understand your sample size requirements, right? Were you left with questions about specifically how to do that?

    In this episode, we talked with Nick Stoltz, Chief Strategy Officer at Measured - an incrementality testing and media optimization platform. We go beyond the "what" and "why" of testing, and dive into the details of the "how."

    Respect your customers! Privacy in marketing with Siobhan Solberg

    "Your [marketers] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could [track customers across the web], they didn't stop to think if they should."
    - Jeff Goldblum / Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park

    With all the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) and blatant misinformation being spread lately around the so-called "cookieless future" or "cookiepocalypse," 🤮 we needed to set the record straight.

    Find out why Siobhan Solberg insists that marketers respect their customers, and that it actually benefits them to care about their privacy.
