Increasingly, as marketing shifts more and more dollars into digital media, marketers have the ability to receive data about their interactions with clients. In fact, the amount of data can be paralyzing. Which is why we work with our clients to define broadly the key measures and metrics that are of critical importance. We believe in conversion funnel thinking, measuring acquisition, engagement, and conversions across the marketing ecosystems we create.

It’s not enough, however, to just measure.
