Advertising Metrics: How to Track Impact for Sustainable Business Growth
Return on ad spend (ROAS) has become the default metric for many marketing teams. It’s clean, precise, and makes CFOs happy. Spend X dollars, get Y dollars back. Simple … right? Not quite. Here’s the issue: The more exact a marketing metric is, the easier it is to manipulate. Want a 2x ROAS? You can get it. Want a 20x ROAS? That’s possible, too.

Anytime I share a new content series or blog campaign across our internal channels and encourage my colleagues to help promote it, that’s internal marketing. When I lead onboarding sessions for new hires or recognize my teammates for their great work as part of our performance review process, that counts too. *quietly adds internal […]

She doesn’t think SEO is going anywhere. “I remember when people were saying up to 50% of queries were going to be handled by voice assistants. The SEO industry was in a tizzy over it,” she told me with a laugh. “And the only thing I ask my Alexa for is the weather. So I wouldn’t write [Google] off.” She’s also HubSpot’s senior […]
Bodega’s Matt Zaremba on How to Avoid Empty Calorie Marketing
Art and marketing are made for each other, and this week’s master proves that. He’s done collabs with brands like Nike, Heineken, Crocs, and the NBA … But it’s not all about advertising. He‘s also a serious artist in his own right, a luminary at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and his work’s been spotlighted everywhere from NBC to The Washington Post to Hypebeast.
