Point E: Analytics Challenges/Implications
Marketing Analytics: Process of analyzing data to provide insight
about customer behavior and campaign performance
Question: Which Communications Channel is Best?
“All the things we have done have focused primarily on consumer
package goods. There, there is no “overall” media form, it varies by
brand so can’t help you much with that.
We have data on fast foods/restaurants, financial services,
automobiles, and several other categories. Even in those, it is difficult
to build broad generalizations. Can’t say, for example that TV is best
for fast foods although it may be best for McDonalds. In short, I can’t
answer your question and I suspect no one can. It varies by brand
and by respondent. Very complicated and very messy.”
