An Introduction to Digital Marketing Analytics

Marketing analytics is the process of evaluating marketing initiatives' success and value, identifying trends and patterns over time, and making data-driven decisions. It helps measure campaign performance, find opportunities in marketing performance, understand customers, and track competition. The marketing funnel consists of awareness, consideration/conversion, and retention stages. To ensure data analytics success in marketing, marketers should access combined data from multiple sources, build meaningful marketing dashboards for specific use cases, choose appropriate analytics visualizations, develop models that measure and predict, and analyze past performance to improve future results. Automated data pipelines can facilitate precise targeting, accurate lead attribution, and maximal campaign ROI.
