What happens when you connect media planning with performance monitoring?

At most advertisers, marketing performance results monitoring is handled separately from media planning. Media planning is seen as a process and often outsourced. But the media planning process produces a ton of valuable “here’s what we plan to do” data. When you combine that with “here’s what actually happened” marketing performance data, something magical happens: First, you immediately discover problems you didn’t know you had. Second, you discover new insights that can be used for immediate performance gains. In this session, you’ll learn about two case studies and about a powerful new calculation that will level up your performance measurement.
