A DATA SCIENCE-BACKED APPROACH TO BRAND BUILDING.

Brand equity is the dark matter of the marketing world, driving outsized long-run value, while staying largely hidden to go-to-market decision makers. Traditional Media Mix Models (MMMs) are great for evaluating marketing effectiveness and avoiding last-touch bias but struggle with quantifying any impact beyond the next quarter. However, new techniques and data sources give marketers the ability to calculate long-run ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) that accounts for paid and earned impacts on future customers. In this session, Andy Hasselwander, Chief Analytics Officer at Marketbridge, dives deep into an integrated approach to quantifying long-run brand value using econometric and market research techniques, and presents typical benchmarks for paid and earned "virtual ROAS" based on long-run equity value.

MAXIMIZING REAL TIME ANALYTICS TO PRIORITIZE, YIELD HIGH ROI, AND DELIVER FORECASTING INSIGHTS

With rising cost and declining revenue in healthcare, it is crucial for marketing leaders to focus on high-yield initiatives to counter this issue. In Cleveland Clinic, we have developed a marketing campaign tracking system that is aligned with finance, strategy, institute and enterprise analytics standards. This system has not only provided real-time analytics and insights in high ROI initiatives but also years of historical data to support forecasting, incrementality test and MMM models. This unified and streamlined process has also enabled a more efficient process for securing investments. Looking forward, in this AI era, we are exploring how AI can enhance this system as well as its next phase.
