Create a reliable measurement foundation for your marketing campaigns

Assessing your media strategy effectively can be challenging when essential measurement tools such as real-time attribution, periodic incrementality tests, and media mix models (MMM) offer conflicting data.

In a recent episode of Ads Decoded, Ginny Marvin, who serves as the Ads Product Liaison, engages in a discussion with John Chen, the Senior Director of Product Management for Ads Measurement, to clarify these complexities. They explore how to construct a comprehensive measurement stack that encompasses attribution, incrementality, and MMM. The conversation also touches on capturing extended purchase journeys using Qualified Future Conversions and the benefits of viewing media spend as a long-term investment rather than focusing solely on immediate return on ad spend (ROAS).

Additionally, in a special segment, Patrick Gilbert and Nechama Teigman from AdVenture Media provide an honest perspective on implementing Meridian, Google’s open-source MMM. They delve into how artificial intelligence coding tools can eliminate technical hurdles, the importance of data variance over the size of the budget, and strategies for planning forthcoming strategic tests.
