Episode notes
Attribution Modeling
- Use attribution modeling as one input among many, not the sole source of truth, when making decisions.
- Regularly review and adjust the model, especially as sales cycles change, and avoid a "set it and forget it" approach.
Creativity vs. Measurement
- Overly focusing on measurable ROI can stifle creativity and lead to generic marketing efforts.
- Allow for some unmeasurable brand-building activities, especially if the core revenue goals are being met.
Brand Investment Example
- Kyle Norton's CEO prioritized brand building by focusing on thought leadership in restaurant marketing content.
- While difficult to measure directly, this investment significantly improved market perception and customer engagement.
