Today it's voices of the research industry on why they feel pre-testing is useful. Some strong, supportive points are made and some glaring gaps are identified. I hope the conversation is helpful for those considering what's right for their campaigns. My advice? Ask granular questions and experience the process first-hand. Thanks to Jon and Pedr for participating. They're both genuinely interested in creative effectiveness.

The last episode in this series focuses on B2B. We talk with S&P Global's CFO, Grace Lee and CMO, Alice Cherry. In B2B, there’s a harsher reality for marketers. The conversations are more practical. There’s a tendency toward the short term, and a perceived difficulty in tracking KPIs and attribution evidence, which makes it FEEL more difficult to make the case for investment. Thanks to our series sponsor Analytic Partners, the global commercial analytics provider.
