Description
Measuring and evaluating marketing effectiveness has been a contentious issue for many decades; the recent widespread availability of data has led to a fundamental move away from assumptions and guessing which aspects of the marketing plan are working. Students on this module will learn about the important role of marketing accountability by exploring marketing metrics and models used to evaluate the efficiency and contribution of the marketing budget. Students will learn how to harness data for insight; to refine and optimise marketing strategies and how to improve decision making by imposing accountability into marketing planning.
The Marketing Metrics and Accountability module will equip students with skills to analyse the impact of marketing so that it may be justified to influence business decision making and future budgeting.
