Generating leads and implementing your marketing campaign is all well and good, but if you never measure to see how well it’s doing and where you can improve, then what’s the point?

With so many different promotional channels, it can be hard to keep track and monitor how each one is doing, and for your long-term strategy you need to know what is working, what to reinforce, and what to just ditch. Collecting endless data is a waste of time if you don’t have the resources or time to make use of them, so in this expert topic session, our speakers will share insights, techniques, and tools to effectively measure and improve your B2B Marketing strategy.

Bonfire of the Vanity Metrics: What Intelligent Measurement Means for Intelligent Marketing

A bit about the session:

Siloed media planning leads to siloed media measurement. As a result, the full picture of marketing effectiveness is distorted, misattributed, or unacknowledged. This leaves marketers with the challenging task of justifying marketing spend with one hand tied behind their backs. The board room becomes sceptical and CMOs face increasing amounts of pressure to justify a focus on anything other than the most immediate of short term returns. 

Join us for a session in which we unpick how successfully B2B marketers are measuring marketing impact, and what best practice campaign measurement means for marketing effectiveness. 

Key takeaways:

  • Discover insights from the DMA Intelligent Databank - built on the results of over 1,000 campaigns - covering the key trends in marketing effectiveness. 

  • What does the Intelligent Marketing Databank reveal about how successfully B2B marketers measure and articulate marketing effectiveness? 

  • Brand vs response, short term vs long term, retention vs acquisition: what are the key drivers of campaign success?

“Good enough” really isn’t good enough….Top 5 mistakes to avoid in Measurement

About the session:

Marketing measurement is not getting any easier……we all know that. More channels, more complexity, changing buyer behaviour but just because it’s tricky doesn’t mean we should accept “good enough”. There are some mistakes we see marketers make again and again, despite the costly implications for the effectiveness and success of their marketing. We will run through a few of these key mistakes to help make sure that you don’t become one of “those marketers”.

Key takeaways:

  • Avoid key mistakes in measuring marketing effectiveness
  • Ensure your measurement is set up for excellence and success
  • Arm yourself with data and insights to prove to other stakeholders what “good enough” costs your business
