Learn to move beyond vanity metrics to understand which marketing efforts genuinely drive new customer acquisition and optimize your spend for authentic business growth.
Key takeaways
Traditional attribution models often overestimate marketing effectiveness; focus instead on true incrementality to measure actual growth.
