Measurement & Analytics Market: Modern Marketing Measurement: Embrace Good Over Perfect
A panel hosted by The Drum featuring Laura Manning (Cint), Anna Miller (Roku) and Benjamin Felix (TripleLift) argued that marketers should prioritise timely, continuous measurement over waiting for flawless frameworks. The speakers warned that simple media outputs (eg, impressions or last-click) no longer satisfy leadership and called for full-funnel approaches that link brand perception, attention and sales. They recommended treating measurement as an ongoing feedback loop using first-party data, testing and optimisation to improve real-time performance. The discussion highlighted the role of brand-building channels such as CTV in influencing outcomes earlier in the conversion journey and encouraged marketers to adopt practical, iterative measurement systems rather than seeking unattainable perfection.
Practical guidance on measurement and full-funnel approaches is relevant to advertisers and measurement vendors but does not announce major platform policy or product changes.
