I. Pandora: Measuring the Long and Short Run Impact of Brand Investments (11:10 AM -11:50AM)

Many CMOs struggle to justify upper funnel advertising, as brand health is difficult to link with direct response performance. In this session, MarketBridge Chief Analytics Officer, Andy Hasselwander, and Pandora Vice President of Marketing Planning, Analytics, and Operations, Myron Wood, discuss proven, detailed methods for measuring both short- and long-term brand impacts on revenue growth, as well as approaches to integrate these methods into more traditional, linear marketing measurement tactics.

Listen in and learn how to:

• Leverage attitudinal and behavioral time series data to support optimization across upper funnel
• Put brand, mid funnel and demand gen metrics on a level playing field
• Understand the “halo effect” of brand investment
• Measure the stickiness of upper-funnel investments over time

Speakers:
Andy Hasselwander, Chief Analytics Officer, MarketBridge
Myron Wood, Vice President of Marketing Planning, Analytics, and Operations, Pandora
