Marketing Analytics and Growth Hacking for Scale (Garima)
Marketing analytics is the process of tracking and analyzing data from marketing efforts, often to reach a quantitative goal. Insights gleaned from marketing analytics can enable organizations to improve their customer experiences, increase the return on investment (ROI) of marketing efforts, and craft future marketing strategies, according to an HBS article. According to a report conducted by PwC, highly data-driven companies are three times more likely than their less data-driven counterparts to see significant improvements in decision-making. Whether you work with marketers or are one yourself, it’s important to be familiar with the basics of marketing analytics and how it can inform your organization’s decisions. According to another PwC report, marketing and analytics teams often don’t work together as much as they could. Yet with each other’s help, they can significantly grow the business with customer insight and targeted marketing. This course provides an overview of the fundamentals of marketing analytics and the different types of modeling and builds a foundation for growth hackers to enable the core concepts in a systematic manner.
Course Learning Objectives:
- Gain an understanding of what marketing analytics is and its importance and learn different areas of marketing analytics such as MMM, Attribution Modeling, and UMM with help of examples.
- Familiarize yourself with the concept, channels, tools and tactics of growth hacking.
