"For many companies marketing is often considered a necessary evil, an expense that
must be tolerated. With the proper measurement, metrics and analytics, marketing
can become a reliable generator of real value for the company. This book describes
the steps you can take to connect marketing activities to increased revenue, profit and
market share so you can put marketing in the critical path to corporate success.
Guy Powell has done a great job demystifying
the concept of using analytics to drive business results. He provides a very complete
“conceptual framework” of key analytic processes and methods – providing a wide
variety of case studies that makes it easy to envision how each key business function
would apply these approaches. Guy also did a very effective job of explaining the
more technical aspects of statistics and analysis in terms that are actionable to
both researchers and business people alike.”
- AVP, Marketing and Sales Information, Consumer Packaged Goods
“With this book marketing executives have a tool, and the vocabulary, that will
allow them the ability to secure those relatively hard to find ‘marketing dollars’
for their valuable programs. Marketing won’t be ignored anymore!”
- SVP Marketing/Product Development, Consumer Products
"This book gives marketers some real quantitative and strategic tools to reinvigorate
a function that has been too long dominated by intuitive, seat-of-your-pants thinking.
While the author's analytical rigor is of the highest level, he still values the
role of creativity in truly effective marketing. The book is well researched and
documented, with plenty of great case studies that put its theory into practice."
- Senior Vice President, Marketing, Creative and Brand Strategy, Media and Entertainment
