As the Frances and Pei-Yuan Chia Professor of Marketing at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Peter Fader shares how this approach will help marketers prove the quantitative value of their efforts to executives in the C-suite.

TACKLING THE TENSION BETWEEN BRAND VS. PERFORMANCE TO OPTIMIZE FULL-FUNNEL IMPACT

As profitably becomes a main focus for brands and media budgets come under scrutiny, B2B marketers need to be more thoughtful about balancing brand and acquisition efforts.  Marketers will feel pressure to focus on short term performance and CPA goals, but limiting media to lower funnel tactics will result in missed opportunities to reach valuable audiences.  The upper funnel plays a critical role in a highly complex B2B decision journey, especially during turbulent times.
